No Time to ‘Move On’: Trump’s Michigan Triumph
By Roger Kimball
FTA:
Grand Rapids, Michigan, might be my new favorite city. I hadn’t remembered that it was the president’s last stop on the 2016 campaign trail until he reminded his huge (yuge!) audience there on Thursday night. At 1:00 a.m. on November 8, 2016, he drew some 30,000 cheering people. Some hours before that rally, he recalled, Hillary was waddling (my word, not his) across a stage before 500 or 600 kale-eating advocates for wind power and open borders. I’ll wait while Politifact weighs in with the important correction that Hillary actually drew 687 supporters.

What were the takeaways from last night’s performance? I think there were three—one symbolic, two pragmatic.
The symbolic take-way was simply an exhibition of political potency. There Donald Trump was, deep in traditional blue-state territory, and he conjured as if out of thin air tens of thousands of enthusiastic supporters who like what he’s done for the economy, for their state, for the car industry, for America. Were I a Democratic strategist, I would have absorbed that spectacle, cast my eye over my own stable—whinnying Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and the rest of that tin-eared crew—and then I would have taken a cab to the airport where I would have bought a one-way ticket (first class, of course) to darkest Peru, where I would have taken up llama farming in some mountain fastness until 2025 when it might be safe for people like me to return to Washington.
But I digress. The first pragmatic takeaway from last night’s rally concerned Trump’s central campaign promise to build a wall. He is, he said in no uncertain terms, pushing that through. He will build The Wall. He is going to call it a “wall.” And it will be an indispensable adjunct to his determination to staunch the flow of illegal immigrants across our Southern border. The Democrats, putting partisan advantage over national security, tried everything to stop him. They failed. The Wall is happening.
The second pragmatic matter concerns the aftermath of the Russia-collusion plot to destroy Trump. The Mueller Report, upon which the Left had pinned such high hopes, was not only a crushing disappointment to them—No collusion; no obstruction; end of story—it was also the signal to start asking some hard questions about what precipitated this national nightmare.

Best economy in 53 years
Throughout the 2016 campaign, elitists said Donald John Trump wanted to bring back the 1950s. A New York Times headline mocked, “Voters Who Long for ‘Leave It to Beaver.’”
Well, he’s already returned us to 1966. This time without the war.
The University of Michigan’s latest monthly survey showed consumer sentiment rose to 98.4 from February’s 93.8.
Survey director Richard Curtin said, “Middle and lower income households more frequently reported income gains than last month, although income gains were still widespread among upper income households. Indeed, the last time a larger proportion of households reported income gains was in 1966.”
So while the media and other Democrats chased their tails looking for collusion with Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale, President Trump was fixing the economy. Those job the idiot Obama said are not coming back came back.
Tariffs were supposed to kill us. US Steel and others reopened plants.
The elitists always said he would destroy the economy.
Nobel-winning economist Paul Krugman, the voice of Democrat economics, wrote on Election Night, “It really does now look like President Donald J. Trump, and markets are plunging. When might we expect them to recover?
“Frankly, I find it hard to care much, even though this is my specialty. The disaster for America and the world has so many aspects that the economic ramifications are way down my list of things to fear.
“Still, I guess people want an answer: If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never.”
Never.
Krugman wanted a recession. He hoped for the economic ruin of America because we voted for someone he doesn’t approve of.
They all did. From Barbara Bush to Barbra Streisand, these elitists have theirs and they don’t want you to have yours.
That is why they do not want to Make America Great Again.
