Up until now Ronald Reagan was my favorite president in modern history. But remarkably, Donald Trump has passed my hero Reagan in his first 6 days. Trump makes Reagan look like he was standing in quicksand. Trump makes Reagan look like a slacker. Trump makes Reagan look like a liberal (almost).
I was honored to be opening speaker at each of Donald Trump’s six events in Las Vegas, Nevada in the past year. At each of these giant rallies I recited a “dream wish list” of everything Trump might do in his first term. Conservatives responded with wild applause and standing ovations for each line.
Then I added, “Trump will do all of that on day one. Can you imagine what he’ll accomplish on his second day?” The crowd roared with delight.
But I was joking. I was dreaming out loud. These were my wildest expectations. I was hoping and praying he might pass some of them in his first 100 days, or maybe his first year, or in his first term.
I never expected in my wildest dreams to be guilty of UNDER-promising!
I was among the first to endorse Donald Trump and predict his victory- over twenty months ago. I said over and over again that he would be our generation’s Ronald Reagan. And that his “CAN-DO” businessman’s attitude would make things happen…fast.
But THIS is ridiculous.
Trump has gone straight from “CAN-DO” to “Already Done.” ' It’s only been 6 days and already my wish list is in place:
Trump used Executive orders to give the go-ahead to the long-stalled Keystone and Dakota Access Pipelines. America is open for business again (and high-paying middle class jobs).
Trump erased all mentions on the White House web site of “climate change.” He did that within ONE HOUR of taking the oath of office. Are you kidding me? It’s almost as if conservatives like me have died and gone to heaven. But wait, it gets better…
Trump erased all Spanish language from the White House web site. It is now “English Only.” It’s like Christmas in January.
Yesterday Trump issued an Executive order starting the construction of “THE WALL.” Liberals heads must be ready to explode.
He also announced the hiring of 10,000 new border agents.
He will soon announce a temporary ban on refugees from Syria and Middle Eastern war zones.
He also announced a ban on visas from dangerous Muslim-majority countries with inadequate screening.
He also announce the end of “Sanctuary cities” and the defunding of federal funds for any city that chooses to continue breaking the law.
He also signed an Executive order demanding the Secretary of Homeland Security publish a weekly list of violent crimes committed by illegal aliens.
Trump signed an Executive order freezing the hiring of non-essential federal employees. He is the first President EVER to figure out that government employees are busting the budget and bankrupting America with their obscene salaries and benefits, plus pensions that can best be described as insane. And there are far too many of them.
Trump issued an Executive order to “ease the burden of Obamacare” and as a bonus, made it clear to Congressional Republicans he wants Obamacare repealed and replaced FAST.
Trump said out loud the words “radical Islamic terrorism.” He did it in his inaugural speech- which means Trump did in his first 15 minutes as president what Obama would not do in eight years.
Trump has announced plans to dramatically lower taxes.
Trump has announced plans to cut 75% of regulations…and “maybe more.” SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT? Only a billionaire “CAN-DO” businessman aims for the moon.
What a breath of fresh air.
Trump withdrew America from the TPP treaty that kills middle class American jobs. Even liberal unions applauded.
Trump announced he will renegotiate NAFTA in a matter of days.
The Trump State Department will begin an immediate review of Obama’s final hour giveaway of $220 million to the Palestinian Authority while Congress had a hold on the money.
The NY Times reports Trump is preparing Executive orders to drastically reduce funding and America’Donald Trump Is Already the Greatest Conservative President in Modern Historys involvement in the United Nations and international treaties. I’ve been waiting a lifetime for this one. It’s Christmas in January!
Trump announced he’ll begin a major investigation into voter fraud in the 2016 election. He believes millions of illegal aliens voted. It’s about time a Republican woke up- I believe he is right on the money.
So here’s my message to President Trump. Start your investigation in my home state of Nevada. I believe the so-called “Harry Reid Machine” used thousands of illegal alien voters to steal the state from Trump and the GOP. Make Nevada your “Exhibit A.”
And I’m counting on President Trump to pass National Voter ID laws so Democrats can never use voter fraud or illegal aliens to steal elections ever again.
By the way, Trump signed all these Executive orders with the bust of Winston Churchill behind him- back in the Oval Office for the first time in eight years. If image is important and symbolic, this says everything. Trump is erasing Obama as if he never existed.
Lastly, corporations across the globe have all publicly announced they are bringing jobs and billions of dollars of investment monies back to America because of President Trump- and many of those announcements came BEFORE Trump was even sworn in.
Simply amazing. Breathtaking. Head-spinning.
And all of this happened in Trump’s first 6 days. Even God rested on the 7th day. I’m betting Trump doesn’t.
Can you imagine what Trump will do starting in his second week?
There is no longer any doubt- Donald Trump is already the greatest conservative president in history.
Go, Trump, GO!! MAGA!!
Ditto that!!! Trump has exceeded my expectation’s is less than a week.
Good one.
Remember, for all the good things he was, Reagan was a politician.
Trump was never a politician. Makes you want more non-politicians in office, huh?
God, guns and TRUMP. !
Eagles up!
Outstanding!
It sure does. And more non-lawyers.
******************************************
As one FReeper said on another thread (I don't remember who):
In Trump's second week, he can save Europe!
LOL!
President Trump - “The Human Cyclone”
WINNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes he is.
President Trump is the first since George Washington to put us first.
Let’s not forget the market hitting 20K on the Trump Bump—yet another historic high in a market that started soaring right after Trump was elected.
Check your 401Ks and other pension plans.
Then thank President Trump.
Trump is off to a VERY promising start. But, I would suspend judgment as to whether he is more conservative than Reagan, and wait to see how he governs in the longer term.
Men can fail; principles cannot.
Can you imagine what Trump will do starting in his second week?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He needs to halt all DACA applications.
USCIS is still running Obama’s illegal DACA program as before, 140-150 illegal aliens every day are being given work permits and permission to stay on top of the 750,000 already issued.
Even if they do not rescind all the papers already issued, they need to stop issuing new ones.
now to get all these codified into law.
We all know what can be done but politicians are born timid. Every once in a while someone comes along and cuts the Gordian knot.
Prayer requests for safety and protection for all those Americans in authority, as the dealings with the Mexican government (and the cartels) are quickly going...south.
Gotta link to a video of your remarks in Las Vegas?
As much as I liked the Gipper, Trump has already smoked him. Granted he was an actor and a politician...I have to agree with this guy!
I posted a while back that, if Trump did half of what he promised, he would be 10x better than the last 4 presidents combined.
He passed that milestone by noon yesterday.
