Are we fighting the wrong war? Mike Steger examines Trump, Washington, Hamilton, and why leadership, national purpose, and the American System matter heading into the 2026 midterms.

Promethean Overviews • You're Fighting the Wrong War - The Battle for the Midterms

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?
