“Relish the opportunity to be an outsider. Embrace that label — being an outsider is fine — because it’s the outsiders who change the world and who make a real and lasting difference.”
- Trump Record on Conservatism: for many of us this has been the best and greatest surprise: a man from NYC who supported both major parties financially over the years as a business strategy, and was on the record with many non-conservative views, has turned out to be the most conservative president in our history, to include Reagan. Specifics to follow.
- Trump Record on Life: two conservative judges are seated on the SCOTUS, so the most important actions were taken. BUT – his record of consistently taking on this issue in the most fearless manner from the debates with infanticidal Hillary through his willingness to show up personally to the March for Life is unprecedented. In the most poignant moment of all, President Trump invited Robin Schneider and her daughter Ellie, now 2 years old, who was born prematurely after just 21 weeks of gestation at the weight of 14 ounces, to the State of the Union Address as his guests. This boldly highlighted the obvious point of our medical advances and understanding of when life begins.
- Trump Record on Taxes: lowering the business tax from 35% to 21% is the most significant economic policy change for the US since WW2. We became competitive overnight and attracted new manufacturing sites from foreign companies immediately – many still under construction now. This, literally, was the ‘magic wand’ that Obama spoke about so dismissively and unimaginatively. This action, really the only thing Paul Ryan managed to get done before his swampian exit, does not get enough press and discussion. The other parts of that tax package are relatively minor in impact. The business tax cut was/is a game changer.
- Trump Record on Economics: building on the tax change, Trump is an admitted cheerleader for the US economy. The tax cut, combined with massive regulatory cuts have driven more stock market records in his first term than ever before; the immediate market rise upon his election was an early indicator. As with many things, he regularly challenges the Fed on its practices and pushes for actions that help all Americans build their retirement accounts, among other things. His record on unemployment both before and after the pandemic lockdown is clear: before, he shattered all records for all groups in question; after, he’s insisted on opening back up despite the Stalinist Left’s attempt to keep people out of work. The V shaped recovery is in process. Finally, fair trade deals have been enacted with both the retirement & replacement of NAFTA and the first part of a more comprehensive deal with China. These were done with plenty of criticism form the RINOS in his own party, who hated the tariffs and threats thereof it took to get the deals done.
- Trump Record on Handling the China Virus: through the dense MSM Fog, patriots can see the facts and the truth. Trump cancelled travel to China and was called a racist and Xenophobe by the Left, while Vodka Nancy was giving personal walking tours of China Town in San Fran Cesspool. Europe and the UK were next. Mike Pence’s handling of the crisis team was outstanding. All issues called out by the media were addressed quickly. Ventilators, PPE, emergency hospital sites, etc. If not for the northeastern US states, and their inept Leftist leaders, the US infection statistics would be best in the world. Testing? No one is talking about it now since we have the best availability in the world. Operation Warp Speed will deliver vaccines soon. Trump gave lessons on Federalism to the shrieking left along the way, and also instructed everyone all over the world on how to partner with industry, and showed what our great American companies are capable of. Everything else is just conversation. And as our President has said of the virus itself, “it comes from CHY-NAH”.
- Trump Record on Peace: this topic deserves a laundry list and we should begin by noting that this is an area where doom was predicted by the Stalinist Left:
- Would anyone have predicted that the President would have had 2 in person meetings with the dictator of North Korea, forged a working relationship, actually crossed the border at the DMZ on foot and secured the remains of a number of our fallen soldiers in the Korean War? Whatever unfinished business remains, his achievements here are undeniable.
- Moved our embassy in Israel to Jeruselem after the failed promises of his predecessors
- Made NATO stronger after calling out our allies for their failed committments for funding
- Placed missiles back in Poland after a weak Obama administration took them out and has now committed to moving troops there at new bases.
- As promised in his campaign he eliminated ISIS – they have been removed, disrupted, dispersed, and killed
- Stopped Iran Deal, sanctioned and weakened Iran, pariah of the middle east
- Called out China for any number of mis-deeds
- Smaller matters like the bombing of Syrian forces and taking out of senior ranking terrorists have set the tone for our adversaries to understand they are not dealing with a weak man
- Finally – the Israel/UAE peace deal is setting the tone for more to follow. Winning!
- Trump Record on Draining the Swamp: while we can all agree that we have a long way to go, he’s off to a decent start – here’s another laundry list:
- in his own administration many of the early departures were due to swamp thinking and swamp behaviors – leaks, insubordination, etc – swamp draining had to begin in the White House
- Many swampian republicans have had their careers ended in one way or another: Paul Ryan, Jeff Flake, John Kasich to name a few. Others like Mitt Romney are pending. In their place a new generation of leaders that are focused on their constituents is rising.
- Corrupt military officials are also being exposed, especially at the General Officer level. Partisan cranks like Stan McChrystal, William McRaven, and Michael Hayden betray their professionalism by their constant sniping at the Commander in Chief. Swamp dwellers all. I suspect a new generation of leaders is emerging inside the newly energized and modernized military that will outclass all of them, who, when you think about it, never solved the Iraq or Afghan wars and then complained when the president tried different strategies.
- The fake collusion story – if it has any benefit at all, has drawn out into the public a multitude of unsavory misfits and bad intentions: the corrupt FBI agents, corrupt intelligence community, slimy election tactics used by the democrats, insanely bad characters like Nadler, Schiff, Maxine Waters, the inept Mueller himself, nitwits like LTC Vindman and the other buffoons that tried to make hay of the Ukrainian teleconference. Americans can now see for themselves the grotesque collection of minstrels and incompetents in the Swamp. A second term with Donald Trump will allow for needed and lasting reform that will keep the swamp draining going.
- Trump Record on Humor and Entertainment: Here is just one tweet to get us started:
-
is a low class slob who came to my office looking for consulting work and I had zero interest. Now he picks anti-Trump panels!
While it is well established that his humor is not for everyone, it has been pointed out by the 53rd Regiment’s Lead Writer before, for many of us, President Trump’s tweets are like presents we awaken to on Christmas morning – but they happen every day! We will not see another President this entertaining in our lifetimes, if ever. The President is bigger than life, a billionaire from Queens NY – steeped in everything that was ever great and amazing about NYC – and he brings that to work with him every day. The tweets, the press conference ass chewing of nitwit reporters, the many classic lines at his rallies. And the nicknames. The nicknames. For some of us, who have watched the likes of Dan Rather and Sam Donaldson in our youth, poking at President Reagan and those before him, this president has been amazingly satisfying. For those that love liberty but hate the rude, brash NYC vibe of POTUS, I say ‘hold your nose and vote for freedom’. For those Stalinist left, I say plainly, ‘Go home to Mommy and the Wall just got 10 feet taller!’
