The battle for the 2026 midterms goes beyond polls, gas prices, and campaign messaging.

Mike Steger examines President Trump's political strategy through the historical examples of George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and the American System.

From Washington's leadership during the American Revolution to the principles of Clausewitz, Sun Tzu, and Scharnhorst, Mike explores why leadership, unity of purpose, and a clear strategic mission matter in political conflict.

He also examines President Trump's manufacturing initiatives, investment in American industry, and the role of industrial growth in strengthening the nation's economy.

At the center of the discussion is a question: What can history teach us about political leadership and the future of America?

Promethean Action——Bio and Archives We, former collaborators of Lyndon LaRouche, many for 50 years or more, founded the Promethean Action organization in 2024, changing the name from LaRouche PAC Action. The Political Action Committee, LaRouchePAC, also changed its name, becoming Promethean PAC. Our intention is to apply the ideas of LaRouche, as we understand them, to the profound economic, political and cultural challenges now facing the United States and the world.
