Will Trump Trump Reagan

Update Of 9/8/2018 & 9/7/2018

Perhaps, I should have added a list of President Trump’s accomplishments that would qualify him to to be on par with or trump President Reagan (in no particular order or ranking; probably I forgot something):

1. Major tax reform to lower taxes (e.g. dramatically lowering corporate income taxation)
2. Move of U.S. embassy to Jerusalem (finally a U.S. president who does not shirk)
3. Withdrawal from the horrible Paris Agreement
4. Withdrawal from the horrible Iran nuclear agreement (stupid Europeans helped to sign and still defend)
5. Ends funding for UNRWA (for decades overdue; this and Jerusalem embassy might be the opening for a more realistic peace agreement to end the 70 year long Israel-Arab war)
6. Ends ObamaCare (somewhat incomplete; the GOP failed the president on this subject, e.g. late Senator McCain)
7. Demands European NATO members pay more for their defense in no uncertain terms (too many U.S. presidents wavered on this)
8. Review of Obama’s many National Monument designations under the Antiquities Act of 1906 (Such a review was long overdue! Presidential vanity and posterity has led e.g. Obama to use the Antiquities Act excessively! In my opinion, the Antiquities Act should be repealed)
9. Cancellation of quasi automatic pay raises for federal employees (according to a number of studies, federal employees are very well compensated, often better compensated than comparable private sector employees plus incredible job security)
10. Issued Executive Orders to ease firing of federal employees (long overdue; but opposed by federal courts. Why did federal courts not prevent the incredible dismissal protections of federal employees?)
11. Revoked Obama’s harsh CAFE standards and proposes reform of CAFE standards (First of all, CAFE is an utterly unconstitutional act, which SCOTUS failed to nullify! CAFE is pure socialist central planning!)

To me this is already a very impressive list of achievements!

Wild Speculation Into The Wide Blue Yonder

Some speculation on the significance of the current U.S. President Donald J Trump on the history of the U.S. and beyond.

If President Trump continues at this pace and produces more achievements of the kind we have already seen, then Trump could easily become the greatest U.S. president since Ronald Reagan. Of course this depends on many factors e.g.:

1. Winning the upcoming midterm elections
2. Seeking and winning reelection in 2020
3. Prevailing in all the (mostly trumped up) legal charges against him or persons affiliated with him

If Trump succeeds in further making progress towards a much needed much smaller and limited federal government in the U.S., then Trump will become the new standard or frame of reference of presidents who lived up to the dreams of the Founders!

Obama’s Watergate II

If it turns out to be true that under President Obama’s watch a Watergate II was perpetrated against a presidential contender that was then even masterfully prolonged by the Deep State into the current president’s term, then Obama’s already awful legacy is blackened toast! It is has been highly disturbing that the former President Obama seems totally oblivious to the possibility of a Watergate II. A man with character (Obama never had character) would have already publicly supported to have this matter thoroughly investigated just to clear his name!

Most Leftist U.S. Court Of Appeals Decides In Favor Of 2nd Amendment

In a recent, stunning decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit agreed en banc that hat the Second Amendment protects a right to openly carry loaded firearms in public for self-defense and that a restriction to one’s home only is unconstitutional. Individual liberty triumphed that day!

The Trump era is having already effects beyond wildest imagination! :-)

Road To Canossa

Just these days the EU President Juncker made his Road to Canossa (ahm travelled to the White House) to concede to Trump’s demands of more free trade between the U.S. and the European Union.

I think, the global reverberations of this very astonishing outcome in the trade spat between EU and the U.S. have not yet been seen.

The Totally Unhinged Opposition To President Trump

This incredible political theater against Trump is a sure sign that President Trump is doing something right. Finally, a non career politician and businessman fights back against the rampant and pervasive Socialism spread and constantly expanded by big government in the U.S.
