Up until now Ronald Reagan was my favorite president in modern history. But remarkably, Donald Trump has passed my hero Reagan in his first 6 days. Trump makes Reagan look like he was standing in quicksand. Trump makes Reagan look like a slacker. Trump makes Reagan look like a liberal (almost).
I was honored to be opening speaker at each of Donald Trump’s six events in Las Vegas, Nevada in the past year. At each of these giant rallies I recited a “dream wish list” of everything Trump might do in his first term. Conservatives responded with wild applause and standing ovations for each line.
Then I added, “Trump will do all of that on day one. Can you imagine what he’ll accomplish on his second day?” The crowd roared with delight.
But I was joking. I was dreaming out loud. These were my wildest expectations. I was hoping and praying he might pass some of them in his first 100 days, or maybe his first year, or in his first term.
I never expected in my wildest dreams to be guilty of UNDER-promising!
I was among the first to endorse Donald Trump and predict his victory- over twenty months ago. I said over and over again that he would be our generation’s Ronald Reagan. And that his “CAN-DO” businessman’s attitude would make things happen…fast.
But THIS is ridiculous.
Trump has gone straight from “CAN-DO” to “Already Done.” ' It’s only been 6 days and already my wish list is in place:
Trump used Executive orders to give the go-ahead to the long-stalled Keystone and Dakota Access Pipelines. America is open for business again (and high-paying middle class jobs).
Trump erased all mentions on the White House web site of “climate change.” He did that within ONE HOUR of taking the oath of office. Are you kidding me? It’s almost as if conservatives like me have died and gone to heaven. But wait, it gets better…
Trump erased all Spanish language from the White House web site. It is now “English Only.” It’s like Christmas in January.
Yesterday Trump issued an Executive order starting the construction of “THE WALL.” Liberals heads must be ready to explode.
He also announced the hiring of 10,000 new border agents.
He will soon announce a temporary ban on refugees from Syria and Middle Eastern war zones.
He also announced a ban on visas from dangerous Muslim-majority countries with inadequate screening.
He also announce the end of “Sanctuary cities” and the defunding of federal funds for any city that chooses to continue breaking the law.
He also signed an Executive order demanding the Secretary of Homeland Security publish a weekly list of violent crimes committed by illegal aliens.
Trump signed an Executive order freezing the hiring of non-essential federal employees. He is the first President EVER to figure out that government employees are busting the budget and bankrupting America with their obscene salaries and benefits, plus pensions that can best be described as insane. And there are far too many of them.
Trump issued an Executive order to “ease the burden of Obamacare” and as a bonus, made it clear to Congressional Republicans he wants Obamacare repealed and replaced FAST.
Trump said out loud the words “radical Islamic terrorism.” He did it in his inaugural speech- which means Trump did in his first 15 minutes as president what Obama would not do in eight years.
Trump has announced plans to dramatically lower taxes.
Trump has announced plans to cut 75% of regulations…and “maybe more.” SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT? Only a billionaire “CAN-DO” businessman aims for the moon.
What a breath of fresh air.
Trump withdrew America from the TPP treaty that kills middle class American jobs. Even liberal unions applauded.
Trump announced he will renegotiate NAFTA in a matter of days.
The Trump State Department will begin an immediate review of Obama’s final hour giveaway of $220 million to the Palestinian Authority while Congress had a hold on the money.
The NY Times reports Trump is preparing Executive orders to drastically reduce funding and America’Donald Trump Is Already the Greatest Conservative President in Modern Historys involvement in the United Nations and international treaties. I’ve been waiting a lifetime for this one. It’s Christmas in January!
Trump announced he’ll begin a major investigation into voter fraud in the 2016 election. He believes millions of illegal aliens voted. It’s about time a Republican woke up- I believe he is right on the money.
So here’s my message to President Trump. Start your investigation in my home state of Nevada. I believe the so-called “Harry Reid Machine” used thousands of illegal alien voters to steal the state from Trump and the GOP. Make Nevada your “Exhibit A.”
And I’m counting on President Trump to pass National Voter ID laws so Democrats can never use voter fraud or illegal aliens to steal elections ever again.
By the way, Trump signed all these Executive orders with the bust of Winston Churchill behind him- back in the Oval Office for the first time in eight years. If image is important and symbolic, this says everything. Trump is erasing Obama as if he never existed.
Lastly, corporations across the globe have all publicly announced they are bringing jobs and billions of dollars of investment monies back to America because of President Trump- and many of those announcements came BEFORE Trump was even sworn in.
Simply amazing. Breathtaking. Head-spinning.
And all of this happened in Trump’s first 6 days. Even God rested on the 7th day. I’m betting Trump doesn’t.
Can you imagine what Trump will do starting in his second week?
There is no longer any doubt- Donald Trump is already the greatest conservative president in history.
Better than anyone we have seen in a hundred years for sure.
bttt
Sop for the rubes.
First, I was not among those who said any of those things.
Second, please don’t bring up those things again, as they are only meant to embarrass. Don’t seek revenge in any form. Look forward and up.
I beg you. Please.
Al-Baghdadi is not dead.
No he wasn't but he came on pretty early as did a lot of us, who were called all sort of stupid names.
Yes we were called names.
TRUMP is an egomaniac, he will want to be the BEST Republican President in the history of the United States even greater than Reagan & Lincoln
For him to do that he will agree to every Conservative cause to make Conservatives happy =)
“Reagan would never have stood toe to toe with the press and told them exactly what he intended to do, let alone build a fence. Talk about it yes, but never build it.”
Quite possibly one of the most ill-informed things ever written, next to this article.
Amazing how most here are willing to wipe the history slate clean of Reagan for a few executive orders and a handful of tweets.
The base of modern America, the one the liberals have been attempting to tear down for the past 30+years was built by Reagan. The concepts that Trump is talking about and enacting (thank God) are tenants put in place by Reagan.
Reagan killed an entire political system (Communism) not with the help of the press or even most of our allies, but in spite of them.
Look, you like Trump, everyone here likes Trump. We all want him to succeed. But for the love of God, he’s not Reagan, he’s not even close to him. He has a four day track record.
Reagan deserves better than Wayne Allen Root, who only a handful of years ago was pushing football bets on Saturday afternoon, besmirching him.
Reagan is the greatest president of the modern era. Fours days of Trump, four years of Trump, will never wipe that out.
The people who said those things were trying to tear down a man that looks like he is going to be a truly great president.
There is a difference between supporting your candidate and launching false attacks against your opponent.
I’m not naming names, but the people who said those things should be reminded of them and have a chance and to repent and reflect on how they could have been so wrong.

BMK !
Thanks for publishing the list. What an amazing list for six days. I discuss each item with conservative friends as they come to mind but I still can’t believe it is happening. I’ve completely forgotten what it feels like to win anything politically. I also feel a lot of anger at the many conservative politicians who have done nothing in the last twenty years. The weakness of those candidates is on display as much as the evils of the left.
I don't dislike Ted on a human level, but I won't mince words with the fact that I'm still upset and disappointed with his behavior in regards to the presidential primary just ended.
All I can say is that he's got a long way to go, to fully re-earn my trust. Small signs, as what you just posted, do help. Just keep being a good Senator and ally, Ted, and you'll probably regain a lot of people's trust.
Just pray to the Good Lord to keep him safe!

Donald Trump is doing an amazing job. I'm beyond thrilled with what and how he's doing it. I look forward to him continuing to do amazing things. He is the answer to many prayers and the exact right man for this job at this time.
Ronald Reagan was the exact right man for the job at his time, and as you said, without Reagan, there is nothing for Trump to be making great again. None of this is meant as a slight to Trump, but it seems that many are slighting Reagan in praising Trump. I do not understand this.
“I believe the so-called “Harry Reid Machine” used thousands of illegal alien voters to steal the state from Trump and the GOP. Make Nevada your “Exhibit A.” “
I now have enough on Harry Reid to confirm deep links to the Mafia. How deep, is he the Godfather or a puppet, that I don’t know. But I now have a 50 history of racketeering.
The reason this still makes a difference is his political machine remains intact. Reid’s Senate Majority PAC is a giant Soros backed $100 million plus slush fund devoted to voter fraud. See especially Reid’s former aide Craig Varoga.
John Podesta and Sig Rogich also link into this. There are slam dunk bribe charges in Utah. I guarantee Reid was manipulating Culinary votes in Nevada.
If anyone is serious about taking down the Democrat Mafia establishment, let me know. I actively need a connection to JeffSessions. We have a well researched base to RICO these bastards.
