New poll confirms Americans think Biden was a better president than Trump. But does that mean Americans actually miss Biden as president? Not by a long shot. Biden's approval rating…

Our system is so remarkable and so PURPOSE BUILT to prevent tyranny and oppression. It really is a sight to behold. We all know that NO ONE can be convicted…

So been off the campaign trail for a bit. Little honeymoon action, little work stuff. Its funny these guys I am running against have all day long to campaign. I…

The data looks pretty clear to me that Dave Min can't win California District 47-- at least not against Troutman. He's done. So not going to focus on him anymore.…

Hear about these four turncoats in Minnesota voting to support Trump over their own people? Per a local ABC affiliate: A bill introduced Monday by Rep. Pete Stauber and the…

The one thing Democrats and Republicans can agree on in Orange County is this-- we need to bring back the Pac 12. This is my post popular position by far…

This is where we are right now. Partisan federal representatives openly claiming the DOJ can't be trusted. Insane. But not unexpected. When Democrats are in power the Republicans say the…

Sat down with a politician the other day. Told him it was his job to represent the people and only the people. He told me I was wrong. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Tk-egLC-TD8 Should…

I think they will. Campaign issued a press release today. https://www.eagletribune.com/region/theyre-so-afraid-congressional-candidate-eric-j-troutman-calls-out-mainstream-media-fear-in-covering/article_b6d900ad-3da3-5bb9-b91f-f6cf550f9bd1.html Had about enough of the lightweights getting the ink, while the real power is ignored. Leaves a bad taste…

Look, Americans are big believers in freedom. We love freedom. And when we see some things out there that look like people are getting their freedom taken away we want…

I don't like where this is headed. There's a clear disconnect now between ICE and the people. Did you see that moment of silence during the Timberwolves game? The people…

60 CEOs--real winners--just signed an open letter asking for calm and "real solutions." They're asking for a deal. Told you we needed that weeks ago. But our government doesn't have…

Check this out. I posted a video on the Good ICE shooting January 12, 2026. Although I took the shooting was probably legally justified--worth an investigation BTW-- because the guy…

The Democrats are all up in arms about ICE right now but they just had a chance to do something about it in Congress and they totally failed. Whether you…

https://twitter.com/i/status/2014446557479817694 But the weakness shines through everywhere. He just doesn't have it. Just close your eyes and listen to this man's shaky uncertain voice. He just has no power. He's…

Sorry I have been off for a few days. Got married over the weekend. At the National Cathedral in D.C., of course. Where else? Incredibly excited but also looking forward…

So I have been suggesting folks be smart out there in Minneapolis and across the nation. Most everybody wants the militarized ICE operations to end-- even Joe Rogan is bashing…

Want to solve the ugly fighting? Stop the partisanship that fuels it. End the parties. Restore dignity. Keep America WINNING (and classy)! Support Troutman now! America Deserves to Win! Chat…

Everyone thinks they want a fighter to represent them. Not true. Fighters are losers. They don't even know how to win. NO direction. No plan. They just want to fight.…

Friend of mine just sent me this article: https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/california-billionaire-tax-proposal-hemorrhages-1-trillion-billionaires-flee Makes me chuckle when I hear about people leaving California. Its the best place to live in the world. Period. Full…

Look this whole ICE situation is getting really tough for everyone. Should never be conflict between Americans over law enforcement- we should ALL support it-- but I understand where people…

So its 2026. New year, new you? Hopefully not-- you're already kind of awesome. We can all improve though-- and here's my suggestion for all of us. https://www.youtube.com/embed/BZuudLlB8OA Let's RESOLVE…

We've reached that point folks. We can't go another year with the bickering and the fighting. There is blood in the streets now. We need to be friendly. Loving. United.…

A Good lady was killed by ICE the other day. That was literally her name. The universe does these little things once in a while to make sure you know…

I know this sounds nuts... but we have to pay members of Congress more money. A lot more money. I know that sounds nuts because the people we have in…

So 2025 was a fantastic year for Troutman. Troutman Amin, LLP had its best year ever. Tons of growth and new clients. Our brand is supreme and the firm is…

Don't watch much television but spent some time watching Stranger Things with the fam over the holidays. Poorly acted and tons of filler content, but the show is popular because…

Sorry for two posts early on a Saturday but pretty big breaking news. As I reported earlier, the United States has essentially kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. This is a…

So woke up about an hour ago to the news that the U.S. had kidnapped-- I will just go ahead and use that word--Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Crazy right? We…

I wrote the other day we might want to "ban" political parties and the internet went nuts. Thousands of reads and tons of engagement. People are really talking about this…

So the Democrats are very excited right now. They're feeling really good that they may "win" the midterms. Let's get a couple of things straight. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9x6ftj9aILQ Americans do NOT want…

Such a wonderful time of year. Resting and spending time with our loved ones is pretty much hard-coded into our DNA. In many parts of the world celebrating the winter…

So its Christmas Eve and the humble Troutman Christmas tree is ready for the presents to arrive tonight! But before we jump into the Christmas festivities this evening I wanted…

So its my favorite time of year-- BOWL SEASON! But I have to tell you, this conference realignment is really bothering me. Why are Cal and Stanford (west coast schools)…

So was out for a few days with my wonderful legal team at a retreat this week-- very strict no work policy (not even campaigning!) While I was out Dave…

When I was in fourth my grade my teacher Mr. Leiby--yes, that was really his name-- told me something I would never forget about our government and how it should…

We picked up another 1,000 new followers on the YouTube channel yesterday. People are pouring in to the Troutman For America movement. Its a very beautiful thing. And I love…

Look at this picture. Shoulders slouched. Hands and arms tucked in. Hips shifted. Face contorted. Mouth moving on its own. This guy isn't just uncomfortable-- he's scared. So as you…

I'm confidant you all know this already, but just in case. Article VI of the constitution reads, in part: This Constitution and the Laws of the United States which shall…

A firefighter, a gallery owner, an immigration lawyer, or an OB-GYN. Which of these would you like to write the laws your business and family must obey? Right. None of…

Everyone is for free speech until they're not it seems. I remember growing up America was the nation of free speech believers-- "I might not agree with what you have…

Talked to a ton of people about the campaign this week. Tons of support. Money pouring in. Talked to someone who had a very interesting observation. "You're acting like you're…

Have you seen the numbers? After a year of rising robocalls--month after month-- in October, 2025 robocalls suddenly dropped to their lowest level in 5 years. Why? What happened? I…

USA Today just ran an article explaining that members of Congress are quitting at a record rate. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/threats-dysfunction-flying-why-quitting-100421510.html Apparently things are so "toxic" in D.C. right now that more than…

I am man who is living his dream. Came from nothing. Decided at a young age I would be a world class top gun litigator travelling the country handling the…

Over 15,000 people have watched my webinar from a couple weeks ago explaining why D.C. is not a swamp! Its a beautiful City on a Hill that shines a light…

Living in Orange County you're always in the shadow of the Troutman Amin, LLP lion-- but perhaps even more so in the shadow of Disney. This is the house of…

I'm talking to Orange County voters every day-- and people from all across the nation-- and they are all telling me the same thing: We need better qualified people in…

Even in his hand out photo he looks uncomfortable. I've been a top end litigator now for over 20 years. In that time I have taken hundreds of witnesses under…

So there's apparently a reddit forum called "LinkedIn Lunatics" and they were kind enough to roast me this weekend. Was pretty fun. The LinkedIn post in question is this one…

We can learn so much about Min's priorities from these two back-to-back posts. Dave Min is legendarily soft on crime, but last week's antics show something quite different. Min posted…

Happy Thanksgiving to all my beautiful wonderful followers and friends. We live in the best country in the world-- and the FIRST to set aside a national day of Thanksgiving!…

Let's be very forgiving where we can be, but also very tough where we have to be. Its Thanksgiving week. So we need to be thoughtful and grateful. But also…

Politicians call D.C. a "swamp" because they want to tear down the beauty of our nation's capital to make themselves feel worthy. Its not right-- they should RESPECT our capital…

We live in the greatest country in the history of the world. And we are all part of it. Right now. The history of America is being written by all…

So Min recently voted against a bill to condemn socialism calling it an "incredibly and insanely stupid" resolution. He also issued this bizarre video defending socialism. Watch if you can…

Well its Thanksgiving week-- a wonderful time to be grateful and spend time with family. And sure-- have a drink or two. BUT DO NOT DRIVE AFTER! Tough lesson that…

Min whining about Trump pushing him around again. Trump has done some good things, but he has also not been very nice to California because he has no respect for…

You hear a lot from people that “Americans are dumb” and the like. So untrue. Where does this even come from? Sure, people everywhere do some bonehead things and Americans…

Beauty is one of the most important qualities in the world. It attracts the most honest part of our souls. It leads toward truth. Wherever you find beauty, you find…

Sat down with a bunch of folks yesterday to discuss the future of AI regulation with some business leader and they all agreed we have the wrong people in Washington…

Seems like every time someone hears about my campaign they ask the same question. "Where do you stand on... [insert issue here]?" And I respond with the same answer: "According…

Have to keep saying this. It is so important. Every time you vote for a D or an R you are voting AGAINST our constitution. https://www.youtube.com/embed/RCZCFwyalYE Watch this right now!…

Had a ton of fun on the webinar last week. Very invigorating. Likely moving to an "in person" format for these weekly discussions soon but going to do at last…

From KJV: Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in…

I know this is a cardinal sin in politics, but I just did a quick review of the other candidates here in California District 47 on YouTube. Respect all of…

So was listening to the "They Call Us Bruce" podcast with Dave Min from last year this morning. A few interesting things: Dave constantly told listeners they should be "afraid."…

A BRILLIANT guy I really respect asked me an important question the other day. He said "Look, I know you want to represent the people of California District 47 and…

Just a reminder that whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, we're all just Americans. There is no "other side." There is no "them." https://www.youtube.com/embed/FbxM6ZToo38 We don't hate each other.…

California Democrats recently jammed some terribly gerrymandered districts (very unfair) down voters throats to protect weak democrats in the state. They say its because Texas did the same thing first--…

Its a marvelous thing, standing here at the beginning. Knowing where it all leads. A broad smile upon my face. But you can't know that yet. What you SHOULD know…

So we have new hats for the Troutman for America campaign! Everyone who has given $200.00 or more gets one! Shipping the hats out together I was surprised to learn…

So a great guy I know in Florida gave $2,000.00 to the campaign today. His words were far more meaningful than the money. "I'd follow you anywhere." He said. "I…

Webinar November 12, 2025 at 10:00 am pacific! A nation for the people, built by the people and dedicated to the concept that all people are created equal. Pretty simple…

Democratic voters who want to strop Trump need to be very smart and NOT vote for Min. Min is extremely weak. He cannot negotiate. He cannot get deals done. And…

Trump voters have to be very smart. They can't be foolish and vote for a Republican in California District 47. A republican has ZERO chance of getting elected here. Look,…

Cracks me up every time somebody asks me this question. I am absolutely not running as an independent-- I am running as Eric J. Troutman. That's what you're voting for.…

Going to run a very clean campaign. Not going to be unduly negative. And will always be respectful. But Dave Min is just not a winner guys. Check out his…

One of the biggest mistakes Americans make is trying to elect people who think the same way they do. Just terrible. In the first place you're never going to know…

Nobody is a Republican or a Democrat anymore. A lot of people THINK they are, but they aren't really. Party labels don't matter to people like they used to-- and…

In this life there is no power without belief. America is strong because people believe in it. Without that belief the country becomes weak. When enough people stop believing the…

The government has been shut down for over a month. It may never open again. Even if it does we will continue to live under threat of another closure-- until…

A ton of folks have said I need to run for President. "America isn't ready for you." They say, in encouraging fashion. But the truth is, America isn't ready for…
