Cool Hand Trump

Kayleigh McEnany has nothing to do with this post but I figure readers would rather look at her than my botched attempt to make Donald John Trump look like Paul Newman as Cool Hand Luke.

As the president takes heat from Chicken Littles who whine about acting presidential, President Trump remains coolly presidential in handling two nation-paralyzing events simultaneously.

In both cases, the president gave Democrats plenty of rope and watched them hang themselves.

Governor Andrew Cuomo, D-Covid 19, started out as the dreamy Democrat alternative to President Trump. He ended up turning his state into Covid 19 Central, and feuding with fellow Democrat Mayor Julio de Castro. Excuse me, Bill de Blasio.

Across the land, President Trump deferred to governors. States took responsibility with governors taking the flak and the laurels. Americans are not used to handling a national crisis like that.

President Trump instead focused on the economic fallout from the pandemic panic. He led the federal government to do what it could with a mass aid program of $3 trillion or so.

Every American taxpayer got a check for $1,200. Mine came the first day through a direct deposit to the account I settle my federal taxes when my CPA files my taxes. The unemployed got a $600 a week stipend on top of their unemployment insurance.

If I were younger, had much more money, was much more fit, had much more hair and had a pleasing personality she would be mine! :-)

[Rummyfan]

LOL! Me too. But five strikes and you’re out!

Actually not every taxpayer got $1200. Those over a certain income got nothing. Those just above the cut-off got some money but less than $1200.

Trump has repeatedly proven himself to be a bold, strategic, and adroit leader.

The enemy will continue to challenge him, right up until his re-election.

I expect President Trump to be up to that challenge.

I once met Paul Newman up close & personal. Definitely a cool dude.

Newman was a just another wimpy Liberal. He loved Coors beer, but Coors had run afoul of the Liberal gestapo for supporting Conservative values. Newman, therefore, would only drink it in public with a paper sack covering the label.

What a man.
