What I did see with Scott Pruitt up there is indication that President Trump is developing a lean, mean inner circle that is 100% loyal to the deplorable agenda and will not speak in opposition (either publicly or as a leaker) when they disagree.
Today is a very fine day, indeed.
Thanks Grania...
Thank God Ivanka lost this one. Maybe she’ll decide to move back to NY in a pout. Thank God our president acted on advice from experts instead of her.
I’m glad you are reassured, as I am, by Trump’s announcement.
For me, it wasn’t a rejection of Ivanka and Jared’s more liberal influence that was reassuring; I always thought that fear was unfounded, hypothetical at best.
Trump supporters who were worried about that failed to take into account the kind love and respect Trump’s family members appear to have for him, the kind that transcends any differences in political or socioeconomic views.
My family has that kind of love and respect and I think I see it in the Trump family, big league. They know his America first streak comes from a good place. They know it’s what got him elected. They want him to succeed - and they know that means keeping his campaign promises. They aren’t out to thwart him (even if they could) - they are there to help.
My concern was different: I needed him to reveal to the public a particular side - a genius for problem solving on a giant scale. I’ve seen it mostly in old videos and transcripts from the 1980’s where he’s testifying to congress, pitching a renovation project or just discussing the economy, politics and life - a truly magnificent brain, guts and heart combination that sidesteps decades of frustration, paralysis and corruption and zeroes in on the winning solution.
For two years, Trump has been building excitement in huge crowds, trolling his adversaries in the MSM and waking up the sleeping middle class and while the persona he used to accomplish those political necessities is impressive and admirable - I’ve been waiting for the real Trump - Trump the builder, Trump the leader, Trump the teacher.
His speech the other day in the Rose Garden was vintage Trump. Leaders and socioeconomic pundits of today have no idea what they are talking about - not just here but throughout the world. They are lost and confused and have been for a long time.
Not since Reagan, Thatcher and the Pope of the 1980’s have we had leadership in this world that could grasp what is going on and what to do about it.
Listening to Trump speak, I kept thinking - “There! “He’s doing it!” He sees the problem, he’s explaining it beautifully, and he’s taking the right action. Finally, we have a POTUS again that’s worthy of the office.
There are certain conservatives, including Rand Paul, Bill Bennet, Dennis Prager, whose opinions I value, who are serious thinkers - they were not Trump fans during the primaries and their support during the general was more anti Clinton than pro Trump.
We are seeing these conservatives taking notice of our new President. He is far more than they thought - a few more promises kept, a few more speeches like Thursday’s - a lot of good people getting on board the Trump train and we can use all the help we get.
