President Trump Signs Executive Orders, 4 September 2026

Mike Steger, 3 September 2026

Mike Steger examines President Trump’s historic Venezuela oil deal and why he believes it represents something far greater than access to the world’s largest proven oil reserves.

The agreement gives the United States access to 20% of Venezuela’s oil production at cost while the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital holds a 35% equity stake in North American Blue Energy Partners. Meanwhile, Venezuela could receive up to 45% of revenues through royalties and taxes, along with as much as $100 billion in new infrastructure investment.

Mike compares this arrangement with Britain’s 1901 oil concession in Persia. Britain secured access to nearly all of Iran’s oil for 60 years while Iran received only 16% of declared profits. Although critics call Trump’s deal another form of imperialism, Mike argues that its structure, purpose, and benefits are fundamentally different.

He then examines the failure of the postwar liberal system. The United States rebuilt Europe and Japan, opened its markets, and funded a worldwide military presence, only to see American manufacturing decline as globalization, corporate power, national debt, and neoliberal finance expanded.

China’s Belt and Road Initiative offers another model, but Mike argues that it adapts the same old imperial methods. Using Sri Lanka’s Hambantota port as an example, he examines how Chinese loans, long-term leases, manufacturing dominance, and transshipment networks advance China’s interests without creating genuine national development.

At the center of the discussion is the American System: sovereign nations cooperating on energy, infrastructure, industry, and scientific progress for their mutual benefit. Mike argues that Venezuela could become President Trump’s test case for replacing zero-growth globalization with a new era of industrial development.

Trump’s Venezuela strategy is therefore much bigger than oil. It could offer a model for rebuilding nations, strengthening American energy security, reviving domestic industry, and creating economic growth without British imperialism, neoliberal globalization, or communist control.

Growth Does Not Cause Inflation

How crazy is this? We just got GREAT Numbers on Jobs, the Market should go UP, because our Credit and Economy are better but, as always, for the past 25 years, the Stock Market goes DOWN, because we’re living under False Reality that if things are good, you’ve got to “KILL IT” because of a “fear” of Inflation. It should be the opposite, and always was until 25 years ago. If we stay with this Theory, we will never be able to have the True Economic Greatness for our Country that it deserves, because every time we do well, the stupid people want to immediately stop this Great Upward Momentum. GROWTH DOES NOT CAUSE INFLATION! I knew this morning as soon as I looked at these fantastic Job Numbers that the Market would go down when it should be going UP like a Rocketship. We should be doing GDP of 15 and 20%, not 2, 3, and 4%, and America should become Far Greater Financially than it is right now. Our Debt would be paid off, and all of these other things would happen. Remember, every point in the Interest Rate costs the U.S. 650 Billion Dollars a year. We should pay the Lowest Interest Rates in the World because we make everything run, and give otherwise failed countries Great Economic Wealth!

We Are Asking That Any Remnant of Those Politically Weaponized Cases Against Me Be Immediately Terminated and Dismissed

I am pleased to report that Michael Cohen, the Prosecution’s Star Witness and, in actuality, only Witness in the New York State Attorney General and Manhattan DA Witch Hunt Cases brought against me, has just fully RECANTED his testimony. He was “pressured” and “coerced” to say things that were not true. I would like to thank Michael for having the Wisdom and Courage to step forward and do the right thing! His Act of Bravery is a Great Credit to the Justice System in New York City and State. I am sure it was not easy for him! Now we are asking that any remnant of those Politically Weaponized Cases against me be immediately terminated and dismissed. Their Star Witness said everything they did was WRONG and UNLAWFUL! Letitia James and Alvin Bragg broke the Law in order to do this in order to prevent me from becoming the President of the United States. Such a thing can never be allowed to happen again!

One of the most remarkable aspects of the Russia collusion hoax, and one that gets far too little attention, is that despite excruciating pressure on dozens of people to fabricate stories about Trump, not a single one did, except for Michael Cohen, and now even he has recanted.
