The night Donald Trump was elected was supposed to be, for most liberals and a few conservatives, the beginning of the end of the world. The economy would surely implode. The U.S. would probably blunder into a catastrophic war. The new American president would be blackmailed into conducting foreign policy as Putin’s poodle.

But as Trump’s presidency moves forward, it’s no longer smart to think it’s right. There’s more than one type of intelligence. Trump’s is feral. It strikes fast. It knows where to sink the fang into the vein.

Another data point.
Because many Democrats are going to #WalkAway.
These are the folks defending Bill Clinton. Defend all of the calls for leftist violence. Celebrate Antifa.
They just hate Truno because he plays to win. He fights back. He doesn’t care what they think and instead he invites their contempt and deeds off it.
Shows dems know they’re going to lose in midterms. We will pick up half a dozen senate seats and keep the house.
How about Good Jobs not vile/evil mobs!?
‘This is the blue-collar, middle-class Trump Economy’
As Larry Kudlow sat with President Donald J. Trump and Ivanka Trump in the White House State Dining Room, he revealed a telling fact about the new American economy under the Trump Administration.
“We are looking at blue-collar wage increases [that] are rising faster than white-collars,” said Kudlow, Director of President Trump’s National Economic Council. “Now, I’m not against white collars, but I’m saying this is the blue-collar, middle-class Trump Economy”—one where manufacturing and other industries that fuel prosperity in America’s heartland are thriving once again.
In the past, that wasn’t always the case. Too often, economic growth would concentrate in the hands of a wealthy few rather than lift up all American workers.
Just over three months ago, President Trump made it clear that his Administration wouldn’t let that happen during this economic boom. In July, he unveiled his Pledge to America’s Workers, calling on private companies and associations to expand programs that educate, train, and reskill Americans from high-school age to near-retirement.
Ivanka Trump has helped lead the charge, traveling to more than 14 states to visit job centers and technical education programs across America. She was also instrumental in helping shepherd the Perkins Career and Technical Education Act through Congress this summer, marking the program’s first modernization in more than a decade. Perkins CTE authorizes more than $1 billion in vocational and career-focused education funding for more than 11 million American students.
Since July, more than 160 companies have answered the President’s call to invest in career-development opportunities for our workforce. This summer, Walmart pledged 1,000,000 such opportunities. IBM pledged 100,000. FedEx pledged more than 500,000. And today, President Trump announced that the total number of commitments under the Pledge now exceeds 6 million in just over 3 months.
“The previous Administration said there won’t be any more manufacturing jobs—you’re going to need a magic wand and all of that,” President Trump said today. “Well, we had the magic wand, because we have almost 600,000 manufacturing jobs since the election. And it’s going to go much, much higher than that.”
State Room
2:35 P.M. EDT
MR. KUDLOW: Welcome, everybody. I’m Larry Kudlow. I hope I’m hooked up with the mic. I believe I am. We are — we’re here to celebrate, actually. That’s what we’re going to call this. To celebrate the new American workforce, is what I’m calling it. The new American workforce in the middle of an economic boom.
And one person has gone around the country championing, crusading, so that every worker can be — listen to this word, it’s one of my favorite words — “reskilling.” Reskilling. We’ve all got — later on, I’m going to ask her about reskilling old broadcasters and NEC directors. (Laughter.) And maybe more.
Anyway, the headline here is you have a new announcement now. This is private sector, okay? Private companies. No government. No government money. But dealing with the American workforce so it can fit in the missing links between job openings and folks who want to work.
Ivanka Trump, tell us about it.
MS. TRUMP: Thank you, Larry. And thank you for — for this opportunity. So we’re sitting in a room today surrounded by companies who have committed to investing in their workforces and workers who have benefitted, and students, from those programs.
The reality is that we have an incredible economy, a robust economy. And that’s because of deregulation, because of tax reform. And for the first time in history, we have more vacant jobs than we have unemployed workers to fill them.
And so this represents an enormous opportunity for us to think about making sure that every American worker is equipped with the skills they need, whether they’re in high school and they’re looking to graduate and have a job ready for them upon graduation, or whether they’re a mid- to late-career worker who’s looking for an opportunity to learn a new skill or learn a new trade.
So we’ve been doing that. The President, back in July, announced a call to action where he wanted the private sector to step up and start to take responsibility and take a commitment for investing in their own workforce. They did that.
Back at the end of July, we announced over 3.5 million jobs created by companies such as Apple and FedEx, Microsoft and Walmart, and so many others.
Since that period of time, more than 120 additional companies have signed our Pledge to America’s Workers. And as Larry noted, no federal funds are involved in this at all. And they’re committing to retraining, creating new jobs, creating enhanced careers opportunities, apprenticeship, learn-while-you-earn opportunities. So several of those employers are here with us today.
We’ve got the CEO from Textron, who is — has committed to 22,000 opportunities to train workers in the aviation sector. So thank you very much for that commitment. Ford Motor Company is committed to providing 55,000 new jobs and opportunities in the automotive sector. AT&T has committed to [offer] 200,000 new jobs [employees] and [reskilling] opportunities. And IPC — John, the CEO, thank you so much — this association that represents electronic assembly industry whose members have committed a total of 1 million new jobs and training opportunities. So just incredible.

Democrats: why aren’t we 50 points ahead in the early vote?
they keep pushing polls into the news, which show Democrats winning the House. Various pundits on cable TV news shows assure us that the Democrats have huge percentage chances of taking back the House.
We’ll soon find out.
But this is nothing new, is it?
I recall that on election day 1980, the morning newspapers had polls indicating it was too close to call. But then Reagan won that election in about a 44 state landslide.
Every moral criticism this article makes about Trump I would make about Obama.
AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, Obama presided over the worst economy since the Great Depression, doubled the national debt and was a complete marshmellow in foreign policy.
Trump has had huge success on the economy and foreign policy. He hits back at an almost uniformly hostile MSM and I see that as a positive rather than a negative. Obama managed to be hugely partisan and divisive despite the MSM fellating him nonstop for 8 years.
Scariest article ever from NYT. The day they stop underestimating Trump is the day winning is going to get much harder.
No one can truly put a number to #Walkaway. It might be 10,000, 100,000 or 1-million. It’s the same way on the effect of Diamond and Silk, and the dozen-odd black social media folks who are creating conversations on the positive of President Trump. If we come down to zero house seats taken and a loss of five Senate seats for the Democrats...then it’s a five-star mess and they can forget about 2020’s election already.
There are only about 20 toss up seats, and dems only need to take two or three of those. That is where Trump,should focus, as well as hoping to pick up a few lean-dem.
Amazing Democrats are blaming Trump for a hot economy. Not surprising.
A main reason normal people voted for Trump was to get rid of the business as usual political mindset (aka “moral and institutional corrosion”)
Now he’s a vampire. They never give up with their bad analogies and metaphors.
Even brain surgeons and rocket scientists envy Trump's spatial intelligence----
the ability to look at problems from several angles and have several solutions ready in a nanosecond.
An ability the NYT clearly does not possess.
Their so busy doing evil ..they haven’t had time to vote?
Because more and more Americans are realizing that Demonicrat politicians are lying, murdering traitorous excrement.
I thought they had the election in the bag. They don’t?
