I'd give President Trump an A+! While he certainly could have done some things in a better way, and healthcare fumbled, it wasn't his fault. President Trump did everything I wanted him to do, and he even far exceeded my expectations on the economy. His base loves his tweets, so that keeps them fired up, so I don't mind the tweeting. Tax Reform was near impossible. We're not just talking about tax cuts but a complete reforming of the tax code. This is yuuuuuuge! The Obamacare mandate was outright robbery on the middle class. It amounted to nothing less than theft of their tax refunds. The mandate was an assault on liberty. Repealing that was one of the main things I wanted President Trump to do. Then there's adding a conservative to the SCOTUS and all of the appellate court judges that make most of the decisions. And regulatory cuts. And energy independence. And leaving this fake Paris Accord. Win after win. Things could have been a little better but not by much. All in all, I am very pleased! And President Trump accomplished all of this and more with zero help from the other party, and with many of his own party, the media, top leadership of the FBI, and the intelligence agencies against him. I would have given President Trump an A- after healthcare failed, but the economy soaring and low unemployment brought him to a solid A, with tax reform rounding the year up and ending with an A+. Thank you, President Trump, for all the winning. You said we would get tired of all the winning. In that respect, you failed.

What's not to love? You got your mandate repeal that you were begging for and a tax cut all rolled up into one! Ungrateful much? Merry Christmas, never Trumpers!

Humanity? President Trump saved humanity from ISIS. As he promised, he bombed the sh*t out of them! President Trump did in 10 months what Obama couldn't do in years! President Trump removed them from 98% of the territories that they seized under Obama. Where Obama insisted on micromanaging the military and sat on his hands for 3 months before making a decision, President Trump changed the rules of engagement and allowed the generals to make the decisions. Less than 1,000 organized ISIS fighters remain. By losing their caliphate, ISIS lost favor with Allah, so recruiting is difficult. You're welcome!

Oh, and lest I forget, let's talk about moving our embassy to Jerusalem. Bush and Obama both promised that, but only President Trump had the chutzpah to actually do so. And we all know Obama was no friend to Israel.

Trump's Momentous First Year
David Prentice


We’ve experienced a miracle in our day that a lot of us thought we might never see again.

The conservative base wanted a consequential President; one who could overcome a combination of our country’s decline, the neutering of conservative principle, the increasingly poor economy, the leftward lurch of our major institutions, the suicidal tendencies grafted into our country by the left, and the increasing mindlessness of our culture. Trump filled the ticket as a candidate.

We’ve seen his Presidency for the better part of a year. We can now say emphatically, this is the most effective first year of any President in our lifetime, perhaps in a century. Including Ronald Reagan, who was the one that drew me to the political realm. Reagan drew me to conservatism, he articulated the principles that reset America for twenty-five years. He was my hero, the one who has clearly carried the banner of a consequential President.

And Reagan did some things better than Trump.

I preferred his demeanor. I preferred his jokes (although Trump can be hilariously funny). I preferred his speeches. And Reagan had a wonderful record; eight years of huge accomplishments. Resetting the US economy. Resetting our military. Resetting our love of country, our optimism, our purpose. He almost single handedly bankrupted the Soviet Union, and won the cold war. He took a series of major ideas, ran on them, and then proceeded to fulfill his promises and bring them into being.

My praise of Reagan’s Presidency is in no way meant to diminish Trump.

Reagan was the greatest President since World War II, and perhaps the Twentieth Century. Now, as good as Reagan’s record of accomplishments were, Trump’s first year has actually been better. I am in no way impugning Reagan, he was one of our great Presidents. I’m just saying that Trump’s first year was the most consequential of any President I know, including Reagan. Hardly faint praise.

An incomplete list:
•The economy has taken an unprecedented move towards the better.

•GDP is moving upwards. Most are forecasting close to 4% growth in 2018.

•New jobs are increasing monthly.

•Manufacturing jobs are returning to the country for the first time in thirty years.

•The bleeding of corporations leaving the country has stopped.

•Corporations have begun to reinvest in American factories and interests.

•Trade deals are being renegotiated to our economic benefit.

•The first major tax cut legislation in thirty years was just signed into law.

•Massive amounts of regulation have been cut, spurring business optimism.

•Consumer optimism is higher than in the past two decades.

•The coal industry in our country has been revived.

•Pipelines for oil have been released for construction completion.

•We have expanded oil drilling, even in ANWAR.

•We are virtually energy independent as a nation.

•Our energy businesses have become exporters.

•Our stock market is through the roof, up 30%, new highs almost daily.

•Business optimism has not been higher. Atlas stopped shrugging.

•The horrid Obamacare individual mandate was torpedoed.

•Justice Neal Gorsuch was voted to the Supreme Court.

•Trump appointed more judges in his first year than any other President.

•He is remaking the judiciary in a conservative image as he promised.

•He has slowed illegal immigration to a level not seen in thirty years.

•He is destroying MS 13, and other illegal immigrant gangs.

•He is speaking openly of ending chain immigration.

•He has successfully gone after ISIS, virtually driving them into the ground.

•He has acknowledged Jerusalem as the Capitol of Israel.

•He has reset our alliance with Israel.

•He is quietly helping to remake a Middle East that is a bulwark against Iran.

•He has quietly reset our alliance with the new leaders of Saudi Arabia.

•He is quietly reversing the horrible Iranian deal left us by Obama.

•He has been the first President to stand against the insanity of North Korea.

•He has connected with the Chinese leadership, enlisting them as allies.

•He has pulled out of TPP, beginning negotiation on a better deal.

•He is renegotiating NAFTA.

•He has pulled us out of the ridiculous and harmful Paris Climate Accord.

•He has begun to dismantle the corruption of climate data by our bureaucracies.

•He has reset an agenda for space exploration by NASA.

•He has brought hope to the mission of our military.

•He has worked and enacted better care and treatment for our Veterans.

•He is redefining our mission in national security with his speech last week.

•He has put the United Nations on notice for their arrogant nonsense.

•He has and is exposing the national media for the leftist activism base it is.

•He has fought the self-tarnished media more effectively than any other.

•He has exposed the Democratic Party as corrupt, issueless, and powerless.

•He has exposed the fecklessness, and fraud of the GOP.

•He is quietly remaking the GOP from their own ashes.

•He has exposed the deep state to public view. And is just beginning.

•He is exposing the corruption of our bureaucracies by the Obama administration.

•He is exposing the insanity of the hard left, and their utter lack of decency.

•He has driven mad the constituency of #nevertrumpers on the right. Exposed.

•Last mentioned: he has earned the unity and praise of the elected GOP. Which has been well deserved. This is one we on the right should all applaud.

There will be many lists of his accomplishments in the next month, a few have come out already. Some on the left understand what is happening, while most on the left run around like chicken littles telling us the sky is falling, that “The Russians are Coming”! That Trump doesn’t know what he is doing. That Trump is the evil of evils. That Trump has never done anything right in his whole life!

In the meantime, Trump has plans to begin rebuilding infrastructure, building the wall, to make a military be strong and proud again, to honor our veterans, our police, perhaps fully repeal Obamacare. There is more, his list is large, and he is learning at warp speed.

Newt Gingrich commented during the campaign, that Trump was the fastest learner he had ever seen. His campaign grew from week to week.

I hoped Trump would follow up on his promises, but I’d not have gotten angry if Trump tried to set forth half of what he promised during the campaign. That would have been a major improvement on our last two GOP Presidents, who were disappointments. Little did I know that he would genuinely plan to fulfill all his promises. And that it would be clearly a successful plan evident by the end of his first year. As President he learns how to do more each week.

I’m not suggesting he is done, not at all. He’s not. He seems to be just starting. But he’s shown us what a consequential President is made of. The blue-collar billionaire builder has simply begun a miracle in the United States of America.

He is pointing us to a great America. By God’s grace, we can reclaim the USA. He’s just pointing. We need to do our part alongside him. Work hard, MAGA.

C

it's a mixed bag. Gorsuch, great. Zionist tendencies, not great. Paris, great. Daca, not great. etc

If the cornerstone of that Wall isn't down by this time next year, let the Leftist vultures have him.

Year two: Expect infrastructure, significant immigration reform (an end to chain migration and that stupid lottery, plus cutting legal immigration in half), the wall, and DACA.

After 8 years of losing disguised as Obama worship, you must not know what winning looks like.

With his latest rant about "sheet hole" countries, he unwittingly exposed the dark underbelly of American racism. I mean, he had already done so before with his support of racist Roy Moore, but he could hide it behind anti-abortion stance. This time, there is no hiding his racism. Basically those who still support him and find excuses for him have white supremacy leanings, even when they themselves are not white. Confused? Don't be. Some coloured folks are white wannabees.

So glad this is all out in the open now. :-)

For this, for shining light into darkness, I am giving him C-

Show me a video of him saying that. Just like he was accused of saying everyone in Haiti and El Salvador has AIDS, but then everyone who attended the meeting denied it was said. And if he did actually say it, how is that racist? He's saying that the countries are sh*tholes, not the people. When everything is racist, it diminishes real racism.

Randall, are you saying you believe he did not say those things? Even though this Twitter happy president didn't go on Twitter to deny having said those things. Even though his spokeperson Sarah did not deny he said those things.

So if he turned out to have indeed said those things, then you are ready to justify them by saying it was not racist?

I am sorry to get personal, but as a person of color, do you really think you are going to be safe in a world dominated by people who have no problem spouting this kind of rethoric?

That feeling of specialness you might derive from hanging out with people who have white supremacists leanings is very misleading. You are only special to them because you are allowing them to use you. The moment they cannot use you to achieve their goals, they will discard you.

I'd give him a D for dementia.

I would give him F for foolishness and a foul mouth, and for being a failure for all of us, including the people he promised to help.

I'd also give him an F for frank narcissistic personality disorder.

Bellgage, WELL put!
