A reader who calls himself BillyBob left a comment after my recent op-ed in The American Spectator on the Never Trumpers’ attack on the Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Georgia, Herschel Walker.

Here is what BillyBob wrote:

Liz [Cheney] is actually a true conservative. Trump has no value structure or political spine- all he cares about is “what more can I get for me”. Anyone who believes Trump is conservative is just daft. Kinda’ like Trump.

What utter nonsense! Whatever one thinks about President Donald J. Trump’s one-of-a-kind personality, his policies were the most conservative reforms that America has seen since President Ronald Wilson Reagan left office — and perhaps even before he arrived. Here is a partial list of what he got done in the White House in one term — even as he fought a totally unhinged Democrat Party, the ferocious news media, the vicious Deep State (including a virulently hostile FBI), and enough lies hurled against him to stretch Pinocchio’s nose to the size of a javelin.

a) The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act — a massive tax reduction that largely remains in place

b) A 21 percent top-corporate tax rate, down from 35 percent

c) Eight regulations erased for every new one imposed

d) School voucher program for Washington, D.C., reauthorized and funded

e) Three constitutionalist justices added to the U.S. Supreme Court

f) Some 200 conservative judges placed in lower federal courts

g) Keystone XL Pipeline approved

h) Oil drilling in a small, specific portion of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge authorized

i) U.S. energy independence achieved

j) Critical race theory in federal programs dumped

k) Paris Climate Agreement abandoned

l) Iran Nuclear Deal ditched

m) Chinese Communist Party confronted and discredited

n) Islamic State group caliphate obliterated

o} Pushed thru USMCA and ditched NAFTA

p) Abraham Accords

We could sum it up nicely.

He fulfilled or at least tried to fulfill his campaign promises. It wasn’t always done as fast as some wanted. It wasn’t always as dramatic as some wanted.

But he did damn near most of it. And, he did it with about 10 people as he was obstructed every day by congress and the bureaucracy.

He would have damn near erased Soetero’s entire legacy had McCain not stabbed the country in the back.

Thought about posting this the other day until I noticed Z.

z) Operation Warp Speed’s three COVID-19 vaccines delivered in record time via White House collaboration with the private sector

Met a post jab myocarditis victim yesterday. Mid to late 30s, slim and fit. Got the clot shot and had a heart attack a few weeks later that was caused by myocarditis. Unsurprisingly, he regrets taking the jabs. He and his wife listened to the MSM.
