Vivek Ramaswamy sat in his luxurious leather seat on the Cessna 750, eagerly discussing Donald Trump as he prepared to join his fellow Republican presidential candidates at the Iowa GOP Lincoln Dinner. Despite his lack of political experience and being under 40, Ramaswamy was scheduled to speak before Trump, an indication of his growing prominence. He made a name for himself as the author of the best-selling book, Woke, Inc., which criticizes companies that prioritize profits over moral causes. His ventures, including Roivant Sciences and Strive Asset Management, reflect his belief in prioritizing return-on-investment over social and environmental concerns.
During his short flight from Columbus to Des Moines, Ramaswamy sipped on Perrier and jotted down his thoughts in a large notebook. He referred to these thoughts as his 10 “truths,” which included ideas such as the existence of God, two genders, the importance of fossil fuels for human flourishing, and the significance of the nuclear family as a form of governance. Ramaswamy emphasized that these truths seemed self-evident to him and were penned down in a matter of minutes.
While Ramaswamy claims not to be a culture warrior, he asserts that he is simply speaking the truth. He presents his ideas as timeless and indisputable. When confronted with the notion that truths can change over time, he cites examples like the belief in Black people’s inferiority, arguing that it was merely a justification rather than a deeply held belief. He believes that humans, in general, never truly accepted the inequality of Black people in the eyes of God, despite historical evidence that suggests otherwise.
Ramaswamy engages in debates by expanding the parameters of questions, or diverting the conversation towards higher powers. He firmly believes that the American people have been lied to and suppressed regarding the events of January 6th, and he holds controversial views on topics such as transgender identity and race-based affirmative action. He advocates for securing America’s borders with military intervention, brokering deals with Russia, defending Taiwan from China until 2028, and demolishing various federal government agencies.
Confidence radiates from Ramaswamy, evident in his unwavering eye contact, nods of assurance, and satisfied smiles. He tirelessly campaigns for up to 18 hours a day, dressed in his signature black attire. His popularity is evident in national polls, where he currently ranks third. At a recent conference, 51% of straw-poll respondents named him as their second choice for president. His rise has even caught the attention of Ron DeSantis, whose leaked strategy documents portray Ramaswamy as a formidable opponent.
Ramaswamy’s campaign headquarters in Columbus boasts a colossal American flag and the word “TRUTH” prominently displayed. The space houses large work areas for phone banking and two production studios for his media appearances. He recently interviewed John Schnatter, the Papa John’s founder, on his podcast, The Vivek Show. Schnatter shared his experience of building a successful chain of pizza shops, as well as his downfall, which he claims was orchestrated by a PR firm with connections to Hillary Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein. Ramaswamy listened attentively, capturing potential viral moments to reach new voters.
During a speaking engagement at the Forge Leadership Summit, Ramaswamy emphasized the importance of personal responsibility over victimhood. He believes that faith, patriotism, hard work, and family have disappeared from American society, leaving a void filled with harmful ideologies and societal issues. He warned against incremental change within institutions, asserting that a “1776 moment” has arrived, forcing Americans to choose between reform and revolution. His passionate speech garnered a standing ovation from half the audience.
In the midst of his busy schedule, Ramaswamy hurried to his prime-time interview on Chris Cuomo’s NewsNation show. He reflected on a challenging question he received regarding his stance on abortion, considering how he would approach the topic as president.
