Forget moaning, time to get down to business

Time to breathe, everybody.

I saw the Trump Tower presser Tuesday and thought it was a good event for the president: He jousted with the media, slammed hate groups and thoughtfully brought up the issue of political correctness and its effect on statues and monuments.

I knew what he meant.

Others saw a president validating hate and giving credence and even compliments to white supremacists and Nazis.

They, too, knew what he meant.

Trump has a huge infrastructure plan which will facilitate many partnerships with the business community. Roads, bridges and utilities mean jobs in construction, design, marketing, sales, maintenance — the list never ends.

Both parties should be excited and both should get to work making this happen without letting their worst demons carry on a perennial political brawl.

We’ve got three years. We can spend them countering the effects of media-induced hysteria with pot brownies, or we can do our part to encourage our politicians, business leaders and president to get to work.

It would be cool to use such a meme

Shut up and get to work.

Trump should tweet the Left’s tactics and show how they are trying to implement totalitarianism...each day he should tweet a reminder history lesson. Someone please put this idea on his website...I posted to him yesterday.

Shut up and get to work.

Street theater is work, and in the economy of the future having a degree in Black Lives Matter Studies isn't going to get you much more than a job in the Agitation Industry.

Someone in the print media with a brain, some common sense and a little insight...he will be banished into the wilderness before nightfall and burned at the stake!

While implementing a major reengineering project for a $50 million per year company I sat in the boardroom for most meetings. These directors were absolute cowards. They were so focused on their end of quarter results that if anything, no matter how small, threatened even a portion of them, they caved instantly. These weren’t entrepreneurs, inventors or trendsetters. My impression is they lucked into a big job with big money and they wouldn’t do anything to risk their paycheck. Are we surprised that CEO’s cave at the first sign of negativism? I’m not.

Apparently not because David Duke was congratulating the President afterwards.

Which is why the President should have refused to take any questions on Monday and let the people he brought with him answer questions on the infrastructure plan.

“Shut up and get to work.”

Alien concept to the ones shouting the loudest.

Interesting article considering the source. Can we avoid another big dig project?

David Duke also praised Keith Ellison earlier this year among other equally ridiculous things. You do realize those groups are attention whores that WANT to cause controversy. Would not surprise me if he’s being bankrolled but soros funded groups

On the “Contact President Trump” website, can someone please submit this idea as their own? I can’t get past this “reCaptcha Challenge”...I have tried Foxfire and IE but it doesn’t even give a challenge captcha.


President Trump, you are prayed for daily and are not alone; though the media and Soros/Obama/Jarrett/Rinos want you to think so.

Implementable idea: have your staff or you tweet a daily history lesson on how totalitarianism was implemented around the world in the past...like Germany...this will let the millions who voted for you know you are on to the Left’s efforts...it will expose them and hopefully educate them, the MSM, the rinos. I believe by exposing their efforts, you can diffuse them.

New Meme: “Get to work”.

You are not alone; we are part of your team.

I call it the " Give them Hell, Harry!" presser

Nobody can ever accuse Duke of being the sharpest tool in the shed. Regardless of what the President said they would have claimed he was on their side. The President tried to recognize that there was violence and hate on both sides and Duke only heard what he wanted to hear.

Google or Microsoft is purposefully stopping us from contacting president Trump...they put a new scoTch challenge on the submit idea to him...but there is no recaptcha box...

It fails on Firefox and IE.

I wish David Duke would crawl back under his rock and stay there
