This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write and admit: Trump is winning. In the brief space of a week, he won a brief court fight to shove Mick Mulvaney to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Mulvaney wasted no time in unhinging a spate of consumer protection rulings, regulations, and personnel hires made during the Obama years.
His SCOTUS pick, Neil Gorsuch, eagerly cast a vote to impose the Muslim travel ban. His EPA head, Scott Pruitt, delivered a couple million acres of public monument land in the West to oil, gas, and coal industry developers. Trump busily continues to pack the federal judiciary with a parade of ultra-conservative, strict, constructionist Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia clones.

The Left knows it's lowing - as the obviously butt-hurt author summarizes:
"Other than in the New York Times and other liberal print publications, there is no real sobering, in-depth discussion of the dangerous and destructive consequences of his administration’s policies. But those publications are anathema to Trump devotees in the heartland and the south anyway. So the withering criticism of Trump in these publications is tantamount to a wolf howling in the wind."
Winning tastes good.....
More winning, please! I am not anywhere close to being done.

It's getting to the point where I actually enjoy watching CNN and MSNBC because they're losing their minds and it's so entertaining.

Very nice!
We tend to focus on the frustrating stuff that isn’t getting done or as quickly as we’d like but overall, it’s amazing how much of Obama’s crap has been undone already and there’s more on the way. It’s going to be fun to watch as more lefties like this guy start to resolve the cognitive dissonance between what they want to believe and what they see with their own lyin’ eyes.

Too bad NYT, you did none of this when Obama was president.
What the Hell is the writer upset about. Leftist judges and a RINO Congress have mostly stopped Trump’s agenda. Trump has suceeded through bully pulpit and EO only.
Friday evening in Pensacola, he was the model of an American President. Not some mincing, metrosexual, globalist wannabe; but a real, unabashed, honest-to-God patriotic American man. IMHO.
Freepers have to read the comments. They are brutal and look like they were lifted from this very forum:

Sad you see it this way. This is actually the biggest opportunity for anyone to beat poverty and get ahead. If you can set your hatred aside.

Got to love it when the main stream media refers to the “main stream media” as if they are not an integral part of it...

I’d hardly call the current difficulty getting Trump policy in place “winning”, but I’m hopeful it will gain momentum soon.

Nope, I’m still not tired of winning.
Folks, we are living a dream, an alternate reality timeline we weren’t “supposed” to get.
He does things 87 degrees out of phase and it drives GOPE and Dems nuts as they try to “decipher” him and how things are changing.
If he were to take a more linear, conventional approach, he wouldn’t be able to make the same progress.
It’s amazing. Every day is just amazing.
More like an annoying chihuahua yapping at someone trying to get something done. You just want to give the little over sized rat a swift kick.
Read them, too. Suspect most of them are FRprs.
I was going order the winning but I had forgotten I had the winning for lunch. Well, maybe I can split the winning with my wife and if there’s any left we’ll take a doggy bag of winning home for the sitter. She’s a young liberal and hasn’t had much winning lately.
Winning! I’m not tired of it yet.
