Summary
Trump weakness on world stage is costing America its alliances, economy, and security. I believe impeachment may be the only way to restore democracy and global leadership.
By Ricky Dana, Candidate for U.S. House – Missouri’s 4th District
Donald Trump loves to act tough at rallies. But overseas, the picture is different: he’s sidelined, unstable, and easy to manipulate. Allies don’t trust him. Adversaries bait his ego. That’s not “strength”—that’s Missouri families footing the bill.
Shut Out While Others Set the Agenda
At the recent Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Tianjin, the world’s strongmen compared notes—without us at the table. Past presidents in both parties made sure America’s voice shaped global decisions. Trump shrugged off alliances and cheered authoritarian parades. The result: less U.S. influence and more power for rivals to write the rules.
Allies See Disorder. Enemies See Openings.
Seasoned diplomats warn that Trump’s attacks on NATO and global trade rules weaken our leverage. Those relationships aren’t “globalist fluff”—they’re how Missouri soybeans, corn, cattle, and manufactured goods reach paying customers. When cooperation collapses, markets shrink, tariffs rise, and our producers take the hit.
Security takes a hit too. Whiteman Air Force Base and Fort Leonard Wood rely on strong alliances that share intel, training, and logistics. When a president insults allies and blows up agreements, he invites risk—not just abroad, but for Missouri families here at home.
How It Lands in Missouri
Farm country: Global buyers hate chaos. Trump’s tariff tantrums and alliance-breaking mean fewer orders and price whiplash for producers from Pettis to Saline County. That’s fewer dollars in local co-ops, implement dealers, and feed stores.
Rural health care: Tariffs and supply snarls push up the cost of medications and equipment. Our rural hospitals and clinics—already stretched thin—face higher bills and tougher choices about services.
Main Street manufacturing: Shops in Sedalia, Marshall, Warrensburg, and Bolivar depend on predictable trade. When Trump’s ego drives policy, orders shrink and shifts get cut. That’s the difference between paying the mortgage and falling behind.
Real Strength: Build, Don’t Break
True American strength isn’t about hugging dictators or picking social media fights. It’s about rebuilding trust, leading coalitions, and delivering results. Strong alliances open markets, protect supply chains, and give us leverage in disputes. That means better prices for farmers, steadier contracts for manufacturers, and safer missions for our troops.
Accountability Matters
If a president weakens democracy and erodes our alliances, Congress must use every constitutional tool to stop the damage. We cannot afford four more years of performative “toughness” that delivers real-world weakness for Missouri families.
What I’ll Do for Missouri
When I’m elected as your congressman, I’ll work with both parties to restore alliances, reopen markets for Missouri products, and protect our bases and families. I’ll fight for trade that rewards our producers—not foreign autocrats—and for security policies that put America’s interests and Missouri’s livelihoods first.
