What We Owe Trump in 2018

The current President of the United States deserves our support in 2018 and beyond.

For years we as Americans have sat around our tables and said, “It would be nice to elect someone who believes what they say and does what they say.” President Donald Trump is such a President as we have never seen.

President Trump knew everyone who was anyone in New York City but was never with the elite crowd in Manhattan despite having all the money in the world. By being President, he was never trying to fulfill some secret desire to be part of the club. The club would discard him, and he knew it. Instead the President is much more comfortable with the people working on his construction teams or the Americans who save what they have to come to Washington for a family vacation; people like us.

The President’s most precious asset is not his wealth but his family. If he was in the Presidency only for himself, he would not have put his family through what they have been through these past few years. His sons and daughters, people of acumen and with hearts of gold, have been dragged through the mud. Our wonderful and elegant First Lady, an educated, legal immigrant who speaks eloquently, is mocked in ways that are not worth repeating by intolerant, leftist bullies.

Still, Melania and the President shine above them all. She with her grace and he with his guts; guts that are getting results.

-Deregulation is proceeding at a pace faster than even the great Ronald Reagan.

-The tax cuts were passed and will be felt soon.

-Conservative Neil Gorsuch was appointed to the Supreme Court.

-The military has its largest pay raise in years, and for only the second time since 2010 is the pay raise above two percent.

-Unemployment is at its lowest in 17 years and even CNN wrote about the Goldman Sachs report that says the U.S. could be on the way to its lowest unemployment since 1969.

-Prototypes for The Wall are being built.

-Illegal aliens and the gangs are on the run and will continue to be hunted down.

-ISIS is greatly degraded.

-Trump had the guts to do what Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama said they would do, but never did, by acknowledging the move of the American embassy to the eternal city of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

-The world has a renewed respect for the word of the American government and believes it will do what it says instead of drawing fake red lines.

More than anything else, President Trump has given us our voice back against the forces of political correctness. Regardless of political affiliation, we cannot deal with the issues of the day unless they are dealt with in terms of candor and truth. President Trump knows this.

Leftists mock the President for the way he speaks, for he speaks in the exact way that millions of Americans speak in their homes, workplaces, and even bars after a hard day of work. The left cannot stand this because the left looks down upon the ordinary people instead of remembering that they are, as Lincoln said, “the best kind of people. That’s why God made so many of them.”

Donald Trump was the only person who could beat Hillary Clinton; no other Republican candidate would have done so, despite Hillary’s corruption and fakeness. He also was the single candidate who could hit back against the fake media while having the ability to turn them on their heads.

Now that he is President, Donald Trump is taking on the Washington establishment like no other. It is a true case of Dave, the ordinary citizen almost instantly coming to Washington and doing great and powerful things. In this case, Dave is not a leftist and the left hates him for it. Trump is in many ways an ordinary man, but he happens to be rich and not beholden to the cocktail party crowd. Even worse for the left, the President was once, years ago, among them. Now the left hates the President so much that they long for George W. Bush, whom they called a war criminal.

President Trump represents our best chance in generations. But he needs our support to do so. This does not mean we stop thinking, but he certainly deserves more support than many are willing to publicly give him.

We have been beholden to the Washington elites long enough. We know it. We have talked about it in our public and private spaces for years. Now we have a leader who is not only fighting the elites but beginning to win against them.

Trump is the gutsiest politician in America. He is fighting for us. The President has risked everything he has and is delivering. He is doing it for us. This is our chance. We owe President Trump a lot in 2018 and beyond.

Everyone except a few who never liked America in the first place will like winning again. Bad news for the haters.

Trump there is a VERY LARGE item you have not delivered on yet.

It is one of two, which I have supported you on, since before you even announced you were running for the presidency.

AMERICAN jobs. Making things here, once again. Not in China. Not in Mexico. In America.

And close the darned border with Mexico.

Those are the only two I want. And I have not seen, either one yet.

All the rest, won’t matter if we do not build things in America again, and if we do not close our borders.

Trump, you were the one I chose very, very early.

I am still waiting...

[Still Thinking]

Well, those two and a repeal of the abomination that is Ebolacare. Preferably with prison for everyone who voted for it or signed it, and conversion of their houses into public privies.

[cba123]

American jobs.

And the wall.

—

American jobs.

The wall.

—

American jobs.

The wall.

Those are the two things Trump needs to do. He’s been in office nearly one year now.

Trump, you won. Because a lot of us, believed in what you said.

We are still waiting. Patiently.

[bigbob]

You’ll be spewing that crap after Trump comes and build a GD factory in your front yard. Just shut up.

[GnuThere]

I agree about jobs and the wall.

But another thing Trump has done is consistently thank our armed forces, law enforcement and first responders, to remind Americans to respect those who protect and serve - people that the Obamas and Clintons sneer at.

[V K Lee]

SO VERY PROUD TO CALL THIS COURAGEOUS MAN

[EDINVA]

Wall prototypes are being built, the bids are all in. This is an enormous project and has to be done right. It will be done before he leaves office.

Jobs are coming back and being created.

You may consider yourself patient, but your words don’t project patience. Either that, or you’re not really paying attention.

[cba123]

Listen corn-hole.

(I mean that in the kindest possible way)

I will NOT be spewing that after Trump builds things in America. My problem is everyone before him, has all been selling out America.

For the preceding five, maybe six presidents. Both political parties. For the last generation and a half. EVERYONE has been selling out America. Every single solution has involved “sending ever more American jobs overseas”.

We have now frittered away virtually our entire victory of World War II.

America is globalist, unprotected, and shipping out jobs to other countries.

Every other country, is building up.

ALL OF THEM.

It is high time for Trump to reverse the sell-out of America.

We are history’s capitalist country. Yet the world is now being shown how to make things, by HISTORY’s largest communist nation. Ever. And it continues to take over ever more, from us. Always more. More. More.

Trump. You are the leader of America.

Bring jobs back here, and protect America.

[ransomnote]

Well following Trump’s declaration of a national emergency on Dec. 21, 2017, which among other things freezes Clinton foundation assets and those of other elites.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-blocking-property-persons-involved-serious-human-rights-abuse-corruption/

We’ve got up to 10,000 sealed indictments ripening in federal courts all over the US (1000 such sealed indictments are normal for an average year).

We’ve heavy traffic and activity re GITMO (approx 600 soldiers heading there in Dec, some of which are national guard that have military police training) including “no-call sign” or “blocked” escorted flights incoming at 40,000 feet (just between FL peninsula to Cuba) when there are officially only 43 jihadis still imprisoned there.

We’ve got customs and airlines and entire airports all over the world reporting anomalies that simply shut down international travel for hours all over the country and world.

There’s high level creeps who abruptly stopped tweeting days ago or are now tweeting with the diction and thought processes of interns or assistants.

Then there are 8 countries around the world that are expected to go the Iran route re public uprising....and that’s just a sample so yeah...we got a few things to be thankful for re Trump.

The only thing on your short list that Trump has any control over is the border wall. EDINVA has clearly pointed out that prototypes are being built now for review and contracting purposes. The border wall is coming — give the monkey (FEDGOV) a little time and you’ll get a better show. It’s a process and nothing in that realm turns on a dime.

Jobs?? What jobs does Trump directly control that can be brought back? The jobs belong to those companies that chose to place them overseas when business conditions said they could maximize profits for the shareholder by doing so. Trump has just now got the first step in place which can bring jobs back because it makes economic sense to make that choice for the companies. I’m speaking of the recently-signed tax bill, of course. Some countries have already expressed their trepidation that this creates a condition for jobs to return to the US and they have to make similar tax moves in order to compete.

The fact that must be faced is that some jobs are affected by the communications technology we use just to exchange our views on the world around us. Many with more knowledge than I have say data and programming work that is done overseas quite often has to be re-done in the US to make it work. If so, the market will speak there in the same way it is in manufacturing where they are carefully looking at the total cost of acquiring hard goods. I personally know of overseas metal work that is being corrected when it arrives here because it doesn’t meet tolerances. The corporate conglomerate has a decision to make on further overseas supplier orders.

Have you not been paying attention to all the threads of corporate upsizing on this board? Even APPLE says they will repatriate billions back here with the tax cut. As to the wall, I am more interested that deportations are up very significantly. We are only at the end of Pres. Trumps first year. Seven to go.
