Build the wall. Then he will be greater than Reagan, and also far greater than Teddy Roosevelt, and should replace T.R. on Mt. Rushmore.
Uh...Scalia and Thomas were no moderates. Kennedy was the mistake after the Bork debacle. Bork should never be forgotten and the Democrats must be made to pay over and over for their sick behavior.
Take 600-800 federal judges out and three more Scotus.
I personally will give him a pass on just about everything else.
Oh, and fix healthcare, reduce the tax burden, regulations, immigration,,build the wall , reduce H1B from China and India, stop our complicity in Saudi domination of the ME, poision that fat fk and make it amenable to repatriate offsbire dollars held overseas.
That’s a starter...
And actually grab some of these pussies and twist real hard...
The Gipper was the best there ever was, the best there ever will be. But if Trump generates GDP growth of over 4% for a year or two, he would be coming close.
“What do you believe President Trump must accomplish as President to be considered a greater President than Reagan?”
Make the best possible use of his entire Cabinet(s) of a two-term presidency.
As Reagan had the pleasure of Pope John Paul II and Margaret Thatcher to set the stage for defeat of USSR style communism,
So Trump might have the opportunity of Brexit, LePen, and others to move away from world government and towards countries with enlightened self-interest. Of course, violent war is never enlightened self-interest.
World Government and the EU made the mistake of trying to copy the union of 50 states to form a United States. But the one-worlders did not understand what made the US great, and a success.
The US is great because it establishes true free trade and does not impose tariffs between states. To the extent the US is great, it is because it recognizes the decentralized states as sovereign and capable of running themselves without a big central government. To the extent the US lost its greatness, it is because the Central Government usurped the power of local government.
Pre-EU, the EU was sold as similar to the US. But in fact, the EU replaced local government with oppressive, bureaucratic EU government. Whether the issue was immigration to the EU or religious freedom or taxes and bank regulation, the EU was run by arrogant technocrats who set policy based on their computer models. Their computer model was always right. The real world experience of the people was wrong ... because it did not fit the computer model.
Trump might have the opportunity to take most of the world in the direction of less centralized government and more enlightened self-interest of small/local governments.
He doesnt need to be. He just needs to be a good Republican.
GET THE DAMN WALL BUILT.
Confront these stupid court rulings
Even though President Reagan was greatly admired as a conservative, he was nonetheless a constitutionally low-information president like all the other 20th century presidents imo.
In other words, Reagan was not necessarily up to speed with Congress’s constitutionally limited powers and associated limited power to appropriate taxes.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Patriots should be encouraging Pres. Trump to use his pen and phone to politically “force” corrupt Congress back into its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited power cage by studying state sovereignty-respecting presidents like Jefferson and Madison.
If he appoints another consevative SC Justice and keeps creating
Jobs he will be well on his way.
However, he will be working against RINO’s and RAT’s in congress.
He will have to learn how to go directly to Americans, as Reagan did.
Reduce the size of government and make Congress understand and know he will veto anything that lets government have more control and that adds to our national debt.
If the FRB did its job wisely, they would seldom, if ever approve additional funds to cover items that are over and above projected income (taxes, etc.). In other words, a balanced budget.
Once again, taking the lowball figure of 11 million illegals, they’d have to be shipped out at a rate of 7500 per day, 7 days a week, 365 for four solid years to be rid of them. We’re four months in. Time’s a wastin’.
1. Clean up the swampy mess in Washington D.C.(including the corrupt skunks McCain, Graham, Ryan, and McConnell)
2.. Real repeal of Obamacare
3. Significant reduction in personal and corporate taxes
4. Cut regulations
5. Cut the size of governmant
6. Build the wall
7. Bring back blue-collar and manufacturing jobs
8. Rebuild the military
9. Create jobs in and fix the inner cities
10. Continue his magnificent job with the economy
And finally, and maybe most importantly:
GET RE-ELECTED IN 2020!!! (AND WIN MORE SEATS IN 2018!)
.
A lot of good ideas on this thread.
I want to add a suggestion:
End the unelected power of environazis in the US government. Especially with regard to the AGW hoax.
There are a couple of things Reagan did that are going to stand out in history.
Reaffirm all of the constitution, down to individual words.
Reaffirm that with or without the Constitution, our people (And all humans, but that’s not his place to state) have the right to defend ourselves in any way we see fit.
Close off the borders. Not only with a physical wall, but with new procedures and digital watchdog apparatchik.
Allow US Citizens to defend our borders.
Fund a classical NASA and a classical US Military.
Remove, even forcefully, progressives in government. What they are pushing is anti-constitutional and that immediately disqualifies them from the position. They are committing crimes, and should be criminals.
Eliminate insider trading among lawmakers.
Flat tax.
Increase training requirements for all government jobs.
Eliminate motor vehicle and all personal property registrations.
Firmly reinstate state rights over federal edict.
My god, the list goes on..
He’s already better then Reagan by a mile. Reagan was fine but Trump is superior. I love how Trump doesn’t take crap from anyone. Reagan worked with Democrats too much.
Trump can never be as great as Reagan. Ever.
