Don’t Get Fooled, Trump Is Winning
The Daily Beast ^ | 04/07/2017 | Matt Lewis

Posted on 04/07/2017 12:38:39 PM PDT by MaxistheBest

They don’t hold Rose Garden signing ceremonies when a governmental regulation is repealed. But if they did, Donald Trump’s still-nascent presidency would be getting a lot more respect.

While the media focuses on sexy topics—Russian spy intrigue, botched Muslim bans, White House palace intrigue, emerging foreign policy challenges, and the health care bill’s collapse—Team Trump has been quietly rolling back job-killing regulations and appointing a boring (by design), yet highly competent, Supreme Court Justice who almost certainly will be confirmed on Friday.

Despite evidence to the contrary, President Trump is making changes in his first 100 days that will affect America for decades to come. ----------------------------------------------

In a world that fetishizes positive action and putting points on the board, there’s endless breathless play-by-play for a game where the trash-talking, flashy quarterback is sacked repeatedly. Meanwhile, the real action is taking place under the radar, where the team is assembling an impressive roster of defensive linebackers who can handle blocking and tackling in the trenches for years to come.

Although this stands in sharp contrast to Trump’s action-oriented rhetoric, it doesn’t lessen the fact that, slowly but surely, he is moving the country in a more conservative direction. There’s no telling how many federal judges, never mind Supreme Court Justices, he might appoint. There’s no telling how many bureaucratic regulations he might repeal.

Most political change is incremental. The greatest trick Donald Trump ever pulled was convincing the world that his presidency was floundering.

This is for all the naysayers who want to grade President Trump wholly on the health care bill. There has been 80 days of WINS that you are ignoring.

But keep on screaming!!

Don’t watch the liberal commie news networks, read their slimy lying newspapers, or magazines, and just go to conservative sites like this one, and you will KNOW he is winning. I simply do not go to those sites anymore. I have not even watched Fox News in at least six or seven years now, if it can even remotely be called conservative any longer.

I’ll be a lot happier if he gets the wall built. A proper wall. And he needs to eject millions of illegals , or else with the demographic shift we are screwed. Just with the breeders we have now, we’re screwed. Got to thin the herd.

People on our side are used to losing that they don’t realize what winning looks like. Just saying

Trump was not to blame for the bad health care bill, Ryan was.
Trump’s fault in that was believing Ryan and tweeting against the bill’s detractors.

Trump isn’t a pussy like Obama

so long as he builds a wall, and deports all the parasite illegals, our country will be great again.

CNN just had a Syrian on ...he kept praising President Trump over and over again...Brooke Baldwin couldn’t shut him up and couldn’t get him off fast enough.

Can’t have the world praising Trump ...people might begin to wonder what the hell the Kenyan did for 8 years.

“Why is the daily beast writing a pro Trump story?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?”

If you ever see Matt Lewis on the MSM shows, he always takes a pragmatic view.

Yes. He should not compromise on the wall. None of this flimsy fence crap. For starters, 10” thick reinforced concrete panels 30’ above grade, 10’ below grade. Add electronic sensors, drones, and border agents with instructions to shoot.

Here’s the deal. Without a President Trump the Supreme Court would have been lost FOREVER and with it the Republic and our God Given Freedom.

The rest pales in comparison. He will do things we love and things we hate, but it is just the best we could expect from any Electable President in this day and age.

I’m still riding the Trump Train. I will not be deterred knowing whatever he does is a damn sight better than we would have gotten if The Butcher Of Benghazi was Elected.

Thanks, Max!

Seems the snow flakes have moved in, at FR. Hard to believe the fear to be an American and of being the leader of the Free World. (Instead of propagating ISIS sympathy and tolerance around the world.)

Possibly they sleep in zipper bags, pulled over their tin foil pointy hat head-warmers. Go figure. %:/

Funny, just getting him Elected has cut down the number of Illegal Invaders even attempting to cross our Border, Wall or no Wall.

And yes, I would love a big beautiful Wall built to your specifications.

Amen, brother. Apparently we are not dead as a country with a conscience, quite yet.
