At The White House With Trump
Powerline ^ | SCOTT JOHNSON | APRIL 25, 2017

Posted on 04/25/2017 3:56:26 AM PDT by Helicondelta

Among the other guests whom I recognized were Laura Ingraham and two of her colleagues from Lifezette, the Weekly Standard’s Christopher Caldwell and Lee Smith, Townhall’s Katie Pavlich, the New Criterion’s Roger Kimball and talk radio hosts Mike Gallagher, Larry O’Connor and Chris Buskirk (also of the American Greatness site). I estimated that the guests totaled somewhere in the vicinity of 60.

President Trump entered at 5:30 along with Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, press secretary Sean Spicer and political adviser Steve Bannon. The president made preliminary remarks on the accomplishments of his first 100 days in office. He counted 28 bills “beyond executive orders” cutting back on regulations and facilitating economic growth. He referred to the confirmation of Justice Gorsuch.

He predicted that Congress would send him a health care bill, thought with “zero Democratic votes.” He also spoke confidently of the enactment of tax reform with dramatic corporate and personal rate reductions and simplification. Then he invited questions.

He related the conservation he had with Xi at Mar-a-Lago when he advised Xi over dessert that the United States had hit Syria with 59 cruise missiles in connection with the Assad’s chemical weapons attacks. My noes reflect Trump’s reference to “a beautiful piece of chocolate cake.”

Trump characterized the Obama administration’s supposed resolution of the chemical weapons by their agreed removal from Syria as “false. [They Syrians] duped him.” It was, he said, “like taking candy from a baby.”

Trump fielded several questions on trade and announced the retroactive tariff on Canadian soft lumber that I wrote about last night. Canada, he asserted, “has treated us very unfairly.”

He defended departures from free trade in terms of “reciprocity” and “equalization.”

Thanks for the ping. Did you happen to read This Link that was provided in the article that was posted? If not, then I highly suggest that you read it. He nails what this election was really about, that our uneducated (though completely schooled, including college) youth just do not see. They are so blinded by political correctness and social justice that they do not see that they are setting themselves up for a big fail in life. Very well worth the read, and something to be passed along to those who are blind to the realities of life.

I read it shortly after it was first published. Editing the MAGA list for the year before the election, I read for many hours a day, especially anything favorable to Trump. Thanks, though; and I hope others will read it.
