Does anyone doubt that Trump is the Rocky of American politics?

By Patricia McCarthy

FTA:
The crowd was excited, happy, and phenomenally supportive of the President, much to the chagrin of the angry left. And boy are they angry. They have lost any semblance of tolerance or open-mindedness. The radicalized American Left is now motivated by one thing, one thing only: destroy Trump. If they must obliterate the country as founded to do it, so be it. That is how deranged the Democrats in Congress and the anti-Trump moonbats — who spend their days in misery for nothing — actually are. There is no accounting for their anguish.
...
These self-appointed betters, our so-called elites who for one privileged reason or another found themselves in positions of power, actually do believe they are superior beings meant to tell the rest of us how to behave, speak, eat, drive and live. We must do all these things according to their specifications. They will never, ever, operate by the same rules they devise for the rest of us; they are privileged, smart and powerful. They don’t need to abide by any rules including the Constitution. They are, as we see every day, above the law. The rest of us are well below it, subject to the whims of our government’s institutions.
...
Record low unemployment is a good thing, as is a great economy. All this infuriates the Left. They so hate the man; they root for the nation to fail. But Trump is the Rocky of politics. He takes their beatings, gets battered and bruised by a despicable media but he never gives up. His speech Tuesday night was Rocky on the 72 stone steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art to the strains of Gonna Fly Now.

Trump Just Revolutionized Health Care — And Nobody Noticed

FTA:
Late last week, the Trump administration finalized rules that will let companies put money into tax-exempt HRAs that their employees could then used to buy an individual insurance plan on their own. Seems like no big deal, right? Except it will start to unravel a 77-year-old policy mistake that is largely responsible for many of the problems the health care system suffers today.
...
Under the plan, employers will be able to fund tax-free Health Reimbursement Accounts for their workers, who can then use the money to buy an individual insurance plan — thereby taking another step toward fixing the 77-year-old tax distortion. The rule also lets employers fund a different account to buy cheaper “short-term” plans.

“This subtle, technical tweak has the potential to revolutionize the private health insurance market,” wrote Avik Roy, one of the smartest health care experts around, in the Washington Post.

This is from Teddy Roosevelt's Citizenship in a Republic speech, April 23, 1910.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

I think it describes President Trump very well.
