Thank you, Donald Trump

Before I wrote, "Life after Trump," I should have written this post thanking President Donald John Trump. Allow me to correct this by quoting one of my dearest and now confused readers. To protect his identity, I will simply call him Mister Jones.  He wrote, "Trump gave us a conservative majority SCOTUS....tax cuts.....lowest unemployment in recorded history, especially for POC....Started no new military 'conflicts'....Jerusalem embassy....world respect...USA out of climate accords....tough on China.... need I go on? Continue to Refresh the memory? Remind who brought us to the dance?

No presidential candidate was more hated, despised and ridiculed by the media. Lincoln comes closest but at least a few major newspapers had his back. Trump had no one. Not even Fox. Remember those dreadful Fox All-Star panels? Charles Krauthammer and Jonah Goldberg battled over who could smear him the best. It was the Fox version of The View with three men and a dame............

But above all, President Trump took one for the team -- Team MAGA. And by one I mean hundreds. The daily harassment, legal threats and flat-out lies would have broken a lesser man.  Critics say he has a large ego. Well, you need something to serve as a buffer from the constant attacks. Given that he helped save New York, built a billion-dollar empire, wrote best-sellers, had a top-ranked TV show and won the presidency on his first try for public office, I would say he earned bragging rights on many, many fronts.

Donald Trump indeed brought us to the dance.......To Read More....

Robin's Take - In addition, Trump also brought us historically very low unemployment for all, and lowest ever for blacks, Hispanics, all minorities, and women, and lowest ever for at least 13 states (maybe more), drastically reduced illegal immigration, cut an estimated $2 Trillion in excessive regulations (estimated over 10 years), got rid of DAPA (illegal migration amnesty for parents of "Dreamers."  

That was ~5 million people plus all the knock on chain migration had they been granted amnesty), made it far easier to fire corrupt/incompetent/failed VA personnel while also providing more protection for whistleblowers, got us out of the Paris Accords thus saving us several Trillion dollars more, eliminated the Obamacare mandates (again saving people tons of money), reopened federal land for energy exploration, removed impediments to coal mining, approved both Keystone and Dakota pipelines (which Biden turned around and killed again only months from them being operational).  Stopped the obscene "fair waters act," has removed roughly 22 regulations for each new one he's signed into law and directed all departments to remove two regulations for any new one they add, etc., etc., etc.
