Gay Former Republican Now Life Coaching

Donald Trump‘s giant win is affecting people in different ways.

For example, it’s sending Jimmy LaSalvia into a bizarre tailspin of unsolicited life coaching and — who knows? — hearing his hokey messages might do your hateful soul a world of good.

The founder of the now defunct GOProud left the Republican Party in 2014. Now an independent, he supports Hillary Clinton. A look at his Instagram shows that Trump has had a profound effect on his life and now he wants to have a profound effect on yours. (Maybe keep a bucket ready just in case.)

LaSalvia is showing off his gardening skills, planting kale, tomato plants that are a descendant of great grandmother’s crop and sugar pumpkins. “Who likes kale?” he asks. “Have some coming up in the garden!” As for pumpkins, he can’t get enough of pumpkin delicacies: “Pumpkin pie pumpkin bread pumpkin cookies pumpkin ice cream pumpkin soufflé pumpkin pumpkin pumpkin.” In short: EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE PUMPKINS.

With his blond locks flopping in the wind and his earnest, tanned face pressed up close to the camera, he stands in a green pasture with chirping birds. All the while, he advises you how to spend your day, how, as Oprah might advise, to live your best life.

What the fuck is going on here? (No idea, but it’s hilarious.)

“Good morning, I hope you’re having a good day. Why don’t you go out and help somebody today? Do something nice.  Just help somebody. It’ll make your day. I promise. Go do it.”

“Good mornin’ everybody. Aren’t you tired of all the fighting in this country these days? I am too. It seems like half of American wakes up in the morning trying to decide how to pick a fight with somebody today. I wish we could all just come together and help each other, help each other recognize our dreams and to make our country better. I’m kicking around some ideas on how to do that, potentially even launching a new project. Stay in touch on that. But I’ll tell ya, just think about it. Think about today, how you can not fight with people and help people and realize that we’re all in this together. Have a great day.” 

This is a little eerie, but it seems like LaSalvia just wants to… Make America Great Again?

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
