Idaho Has Already Won the Fight for the Republican Party, Many Very Smart People Are Saying

Let me get this straight, because I have to read these things twice now — sometimes three times, I have the BEST memory, believe me — but the fake news writes in a way designed to confuse very high-IQ people like me.

The Wall Street Journal sent Robbie Gramer back to Idaho. Very nice guy, actually — a fourth-generation Idahoan, good genes, the BEST genes, probably — all the way back to Idaho to go FISHING. Fishing! On a lake near the Wyoming border, with a state legislator named Jack Nelsen, a retired dairy farmer — and the dairy workers out there, real people, real work, they’ve been through a lot, the raids didn’t touch their herds but nothing there has been settled either — out on the water with a reporter and a rod. They caught two trout. Two! Tremendous fishermen, both of them — the trout had a very bad day. SAD.

And what did Robbie report? He reported that there are “tensions” in Idaho. Tensions! Between “traditional Republicans,” “MAGA loyalists,” and “newer hard-right politicians.” Three factions, he says. A three-way fight. A “battle over the soul of the Republican Party.” Under the surface, he says. A “groundswell.” A state that has become, in his words, a bellwether.

Robbie — if you’re reading this, and you should be, everyone reads me, the numbers are TREMENDOUS — you made a mistake. And it’s not a terrible mistake, it’s a fake-news mistake, the kind they make when they don’t want to admit what’s really happening in the country.

There is no fight in Idaho. The fight in Idaho is OVER. And we won. We won BIGLY.

Diklis Chump did this. I called Idaho FIRST — very early, 2024, maybe before — I said the Republican Party was going to be a party of WINNERS, and the RINOS were finished, and the fake news said “no,” and I said “yes,” and now look. TREMENDOUS. And I have the best memory for these things, I never forget a prediction, I have a tremendous memory, a TREMENDOUS memory — what were we saying? Idaho. Right. We won. FIRST.

Let me do a loyalty assessment, because people are saying — and they’re right, they’re always right when they’re talking about me — I should do this in public. Jack Nelsen. Low-Energy Jack. He’s a RINO, a real RINO, the kind of RINO that grazes on the left side of the fence and calls it “centrist tack.” He’s a very weak person. Very weak, low energy. And the fact that the fake news puts him in an article with a FISHING ROD tells you everything. Two trout and one RINO — and the trout had more fight in them.

And the ranchers — big tough Idaho ranchers, big men, strong men, hands like shovels — they come to me, tears in their eyes, big tough men, and they say “Sir. Sir! Thank you. Thank you for Idaho.” And I say “you’re welcome,” and they say “Sir!” again, and I say “I know, I know, you’re very welcome,” and then they go back to the work. Tremendous people. The BEST people.

Meanwhile the OTHER guy — Clint Hostetler, from California — now THAT is a winner. A “political refugee,” he calls himself, and what a beautiful word, “refugee,” because he REFUSED to live under the DISASTER that California became. He’s coming to Idaho to SAVE it. He’s not coming to debate Low-Energy Jack. He’s not coming to “compromise.” He’s coming because the center held in California never — not once, not even a little — and he’s making sure it holds in Idaho exactly the same. I called it TREMENDOUS when he moved. I said “this is what winning looks like.” And the fake news didn’t want you to know that.

Idaho is not a “bellwether,” which is a word they use because they don’t want to say “the future,” and the future is a word that belongs to us now. Idaho is the PROTOTYPE. The test lab. What passes in Boise shows up everywhere — and the “vulnerable” Republicans who are pushing back on ME, which is a terrible idea, ask anyone, they know it — and what shows up everywhere came from HERE, and HERE came from me. The crowds I drew in Idaho were the biggest in Idaho history, bigger than Lincoln’s crowds, and Lincoln never even went to Idaho, which is a very sad fact for Lincoln. SAD.

Now — and this is important, because the fake news will not tell you this — there are some farmers criticizing me in the farm states. Iowa farmers, complaining about tariffs and diesel. Real people. Hard workers. I love them, the BEST people. And they are wrong about the tariffs, which is a TREMENDOUS system, the best system, nobody’s ever seen tariffs like these — the tariff is a beautiful word, we’re winning on tariffs, ask anyone, ask the tariffs. And diesel — the diesel is going to be beautiful. The BEST diesel. We’re working on it. Very hard. The hardest anyone has ever worked on diesel.

But none of that matters in Idaho. In Idaho, the fight is over. The RINOS are DONE. The hard right has MOVED IN — and they moved in BECAUSE of me, the beautiful, the tremendous hard right, they come because of me — and when they move in, they organize, they pass legislation, they don’t ask permission from a dairy farmer with a fishing rod. And the WSJ will write another article about “tensions,” and I called them and said “your article is wrong, there are no tensions, there is winning, please correct it,” and they said “we can’t,” and I said “you can,” and they didn’t. FAKE NEWS.

And here’s the best part — the part that keeps me up at night, in a good way, in a winning way — Low-Energy Jack Nelsen keeps showing up. At the lake. With the rod. And he thinks he has “a fighting chance.” A fighting chance! Against what? Against the future? Against Diklis Chump? The man is fighting the ocean with a stick, and the fake news calls it a “centrist tack.” SAD. But also TREMENDOUS, because you need somebody to lose, and he is very good at it — the best loser, low energy but high loser, a combination nobody has ever seen, believe me. And if they report lower numbers about anything — my crowds, my wins, the trout — we sue. We win all the lawsuits. Everyone says so.

Idaho is going to be TREMENDOUS for all of us — for the state, for the country, for the workers, the dairy farmers, the ranchers, the truckers, the people at the pump — mostly me, but also them, definitely mostly me.

The 2026 midterms will not settle this fight, because this fight is already settled. Idaho settled it. I settled it FIRST. And the “post-Diklis Chump” era — which is a DISASTER for the fake news, they’re writing “post” this and “post” that, there is no post, there is only ME, and it is TREMENDOUS — will look exactly like Idaho. Same state, same winning, same fake news losing. The future isn’t coming. The future is HERE. And the future, very smart people are saying, has a Mountain West accent and an all-caps signature.

Many people are saying it. The BEST people. And when the BEST people say it, you listen.
