Mark my words – the wind is turning. Donald and Melania Trump are leaders – persistent, consistent, from the heart. Some expected this, many did not. But underestimating these two would be a profound mistake.
The first clear turn signal was the Inauguration speech. It was concise, incisive, blunt and uncompromising. No more blah-blah and calculated pampering, national self-derision or happy talk for the sake of media approval. No more pretending personal differences and sincere opinions were bad, individual character and national sacrifice irrelevant, honor and history no longer material.
To those who wished America would again be proud of who we are, the speech affirmed that long tunnels do end and light does exist, even after years of economic and moral malaise, even with security threats mounting and international respect declining. The future is what we make it; it should be an extension of our proud past, not a departure from it.
Then came the disciplined and bipartisan State of the Union speech. Those clad in white on the Left, who dared not clap or stand, could barely believe their ears. The president was compelling, honest, and inclusive. He spoke to all Americans, not just supporters. He validated them, offered answers, summoned higher angels. The Left was confused.
Next came the Middle East Peace speech – direct and sincere and hopeful that leaders, Shia, Sunni, Jewish and Christian, might lay down swords for a moment, and imagine what might be possible.

Some of the comments here are off base regarding the significance of Melania Trump. Here is how I see it. It is obvious that the First Lady suffers no fools. Compare that with her devotion and loyalty to President Donald Trump. In short, the President is no fool and she knows it. Who would know better than her. Her membership on President Trump’s team validates him. Donald Trump is already a great president and will make America great again. We are very fortunate.
Yes. And give ‘em hell, Donald!
“America” didn’t underestimate the Reagans .. THE DEMOCRATS AND THEIR RABID LEFT WERE THE ONES - as usual.
I was a child. I took their opinions as a matter or course.
However, when I grew up and evaluated everything for myself, I realized that I admire Harry and Bess Truman very highly and have little respect for Franklin Roosevelt. I am definitely a Republican. I really like Bess Truman, and, in my opinion, Harry Truman and Ronald Reagan were the only two great Presidents of the 20th century.
Teddy Roosevelt was a good one.
One of the most important things I ever learned was to think for myself.
Too bad millions of Americans are being taught to do the opposite. Maybe they'll figure it all out and think for themselves. Let's hope so.
Pence is aligned with establishment on some very important issues. If he is ever the head of the republican presidential ticket he will most likely lose the general election regardless of whether you like him or not. He shouldn’t be handed the nomination without a fight if we get to that point.

They don’t dare now, but within six months...
1.). Homeless crisis. (There were NO homeless under Obama.)
2.). The kids are too hungry to learn. (Reference above, likewise.)
3.). Like Reagan, we’d going to start a world war.
The mainstream media, NY Times now with huge staff cuts, will just rehash Reagan error articles. This is why they don’t need editors, just wordsmith and substitute Trump for Reagon. Already edited.
Why did:
Sorry...fat thumbs on the phone and spell correct is not my friend.
“he’s” and “era” not error.
Thanks for the answer. You’re right.
Bush was Reagan’s biggest mistake.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, NEVER misunderestimate the Covfefe.

Yes, he is very “establishment.”
