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.
Trump was never a politician. Makes you want more non-politicians in office, huh?
Makes you wonder why it took so long.....
A wise man once said:
“Want to build a coalition including conservatives, capitalists, blue collar workers, veterans, gun owners, religious people, minorities, freedom-loving Americans of every stripe?
Trump does. And he’s doing it. And that sounds pretty damn conservative to me!
Reagan Revolution meet the Trump Revolution.
No excuses for the tone. None needed.”
He was right then, and still is!
MAGA!
Self-ping for later. Go, Trump!

I’m being patient.
He’s only been in office 6 days.
He has to do it soon, though.
Every day that goes by is hundreds more illegal aliens going through Obama’s illegal program.
If he doesn’t do anything then it becomes Trump’s illegal program.
I told my wife over eight months ago that Trump is going to make Reagan look like a left wing liberal.
Somewhat joking of course but you get my point.
Trump is doing the same thing to the left, that Obama did to the right. He's issuing so many change orders, so fast, that the opposition barely has time to digest one, before another one hits them.
Recall how upset, demoralized, and disoriented so many of us became, by Obama's incessant fusilade of orders, edicts, pronouncements, and executive actions. He never gave us a single day of rest. Every day there was some new destructive thing from him that outraged us.
President Trump has effectively turned the table on the enemies of the republic, and is now deploying his pen and phone on full auto, issuing CONSTRUCTIVE measures faster than the left can digest them, or mount an effective defense.
If he keeps up this pace, the left will be reduced to a smallish cult of political hermits within his first year.
Sorry, but I don’t agree. Yet. Not if you consider Reagan modern. Perhaps I’m slow, but it took five years before I was willing to admit that Obama had outstripped President Buchanan as the worst occupant of our White House in history. President Trump has had an amazing week, but I’ll want to see how he does over at least four years before I promote him above the greatest president of the past 150 years.
How will President Trump do against his first military challenge (or are our adversaries too afraid to find out)?
How will President Trump do at resisting the seduction of DC, the hundred variants of “you’ve kept enough promises, now enjoy the perks and build a legacy”.
How will he do at cutting the size of government?
How will he do at getting large numbers of illegals out of America and then instituting a legal immigration system that brings in the workers we need for jobs that cannot be filled by Americans, only, and keeps illegals out - and does so in a manner that endures longer than Obama’s ephemeral legacy?
Impeachment is not an option. Trump’s popularity is soaring. The Rino problem is bad, but if they voted for impeachment, it’d be a career ending move for them.
Pence is conservative. And as a state governor he’s got government experience. Right now he is getting the education of a lifetime from a very effective business leader.
No way is Trump a one man show. He’s definitely a unique leader with amazing skills, but he has stocked his cabinet with leaders who have skills. Trump has already changed government. Trump has already changed the nation.
If Trump had to leave office for any reason, Pence would mostly chart the course that Trump has set us on. Not as effectively, but Trump has shown that it can be done.
Reagan was the most articulate Conservative ever, but when Trump talks people listen and believe he intends to do exactly what he says.
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.
They’re still here and lots of them learned no lesson from the Kenyanesian Usurpation and want ineligible candidates to run after Trump.
Mohammed said the same thing. Depends on whose principles I guess.
Yes, he is.
Thank you, Jim.
I can't agree. Andrew Jackson also spoke for the people (as opposed to the New England elites). He was also the first (and maybe only, I'll have to look back at my history) president to eliminate the national debt.
Exactly....

Semper president TRUMP!

Lol, impeachment? WTF are you smokin’
What has he DONE? Do you understand what “High crimes and misdemeanors”? Do you understand the procedure necessary to impeach a president? Are you even aware who controls the Congress...both Houses?
So far so good. Lots of tough slogging ahead. The campaign was the overture. The opera is now underway.
Or: "Trump is just in the race to bulldoze a path for Cruz."
That one was always a head scratcher.
