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 Trumps 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 hell 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 generations Ronald Reagan. And that his CAN-DO businessmans attitude would make things happen fast.
But THIS is ridiculous.
Trump has gone straight from CAN-DO to Already Done. ' Its 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? Its 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. Its 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 Obamas 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 AmericaDonald Trump Is Already the Greatest Conservative President in Modern Historys involvement in the United Nations and international treaties. Ive been waiting a lifetime for this one. Its Christmas in January!
Trump announced hell begin a major investigation into voter fraud in the 2016 election. He believes millions of illegal aliens voted. Its about time a Republican woke up- I believe he is right on the money.
So heres 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 Im 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 Trumps first 6 days. Even God rested on the 7th day. Im betting Trump doesnt.
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.
Until you posted this.
Reagan was great but he accepted GHWB and that led us into 28 years of darkness. Whether you admit it or not.
His acceptance of Ted Kennedy's amnesty and successive immigration policy led us directly to the position we have today. We are close to a minority in our own country and that is not good because those replacing us have no interest in sustaining our Republic, neither does many of our current crop of politicians. California has shown us our future. All this traceable to Ted legislation and Reagan's accepting a lie. He often said a country that didn't control their borders was not a country at all. He was right and here we are.
Wins alone do not define a legacy and you can not ignore the damage that came about by those losses.
Trump shows great promise but it has only been a few days, the real test will come when he decides if he is going to keep his word on DACA and all illegals not just the felons. A lot of voters were single issue, count on it.
Can you point to any instance where Reagan stood toe to toe and called the media out?
Post by Jim Rob : It's about the people, stupid!
To: GodGunsGuts; onyx; JustAmy; trisham; DJ MacWoW; RedMDer; musicman; Lady Jag; TheOldLady; ...I've been for Cruz first all along. But he's missing the boat. Trump has outflanked him, has him confused, has him rattled and now Cruz is falling into the same trap as Bush, Carson, Fiorina and all the others who attacked him and lost.
Personal attack mode against the populist favorite and national leader buys you no points whatsoever. Cruz should ignore Trump and stay on HIS OWN message! And make it bolder!
And stay the hell away from Beck, Lowry and the National RINO Review and the Gang of 22 GOP losers. The last thing Cruz needs is to team up with DC insiders!
Trump is running and winning with his anti-GOP, anti-insider, anti-establishment, anti-DC, anti-PC, anti-illegal-alien, anti-Muslim-invasion, and anti-business-as-usual platform.
He's pushing and winning with his bold secure the borders, secure the nation, deport them all, ban the Muslims, send them back, restore our religious freedom, defend our guns, defend our local education, cut the taxes, cut the regulations, cut the EPA, cut the bad deals, cut the crap, grow the economy, bring back capital and jobs, bring back manufacturing, rebuild our powerful military and make America great again message.
It's what the PEOPLE want and are hungry for. They want strong, successful, positive, bold and unabashedly pro-America, pro-capitalism leadership! A winner!
It's about the people, stupid!
Dirty Harry is the key to it all... Follow the money.
“The concepts that Trump is talking about and enacting (thank God) are tenants put in place by Reagan.”
—
Huh ?
.
“Follow the money.”
Lots of money. Swiss Bank accounts, offshore banks. Gold and silver bullion.
Dont seek revenge in any form. Look forward and up.
I agree.
Thanks, I am working on this stuff close to full time.
I need to come up for air! This man moves faster than the speed of light! Go, Trump!
Yes. And she again showed good judgement by endorsing Ttump and not Cruz. She is a true American.
Thank you for the list. I’ve been trying to keep up, but it’s been hard with my schedule.
Would love to have a list every day what he’s doing to MAGA.
It’s amazing, wonderful and about damn time. God Bless America!
I wish there were some sort of gold star we could place by names like yours to separate the people who knew what they were talking about (since before the primaries!) from the ones that knew how to talk.
Another “gold star” FReeper!
You called it.
When others were wrong: you were NOT!
Over their dead bodies!
Trump was our last chance for a peaceful revolution. If the libs don't want to allow that, well, we can go that route, too.
When peaceful revolution is impossible, violent revolution is inevitable.
Not at all.
We needed someone who not only understood the problems caused by the media, but someone with the stature, pockets, and intellect to beat them at their own game as the "definers of reality."
I loved him giving Nancy Pelosi the pen he used to start rolling back Obamacare!
It’s like he was saying “Yeah, Nancy. Some of us remember your ‘victory march’ with the gavel when you got this travesty passed.”
“Bitch.”
Well, egomaniac can be taken in the wrong way.
To me, Trump is more a creature of pride in workmanship. And he's an achiever like no other person I can think of.
He's got this passion for action and winning that won't let up. And we're so lucky that he's on our side.
Reagan went toe-to-toe with the Soviet Union. And won.
Get a grip. Different leaders for different times.
Just because you like Trump doesn’t mean Reagan sucked.
Loser. Moving on..................
Read the Conservative platform........it all there.
disagreeing is your prerogative, but it does not alter the fact that I am convinced that “President Trump is the first since George Washington to put us first.”
