Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) I wonder what else President Donald Trump will never do? –
“He won’t last a week.”
“He won’t stay in this race past the first debate.”
“He never survive those comments about John McCain.”
“That first debate was the beginning of the end for Donald Trump.”
“He’ll never be able to compete with Jeb!”
“He’ll be out of the race before the Iowa Caucuses.”
“No way he wins the New Hampshire Primary.”
“South Carolina will be the beginning of the end for Donald Trump.”
“No way he beats Ted Cruz in Indiana.”
“No way he survives the Billy Bush tape.”
“He’ll never win Florida.”
“Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania are blue states.”
“He’ll resign the office by April.”
“He’ll quit before the end of 2017.”
“He can’t just let the oil industry drill our way to energy security.”
“He’ll never pull out of the Paris Accords.”
“No way he’ll ever get those tax cuts done.”
“He’ll never pull out of the Iran deal.”
“He can’t wave a magic wand and bring all those manufacturing jobs back.”
“He’ll never achieve 3% GDP growth.”
“He’ll never make a deal with Kim Jong un.”
This morning, it continues:
“The U.S. and North Korea are still miles apart.”
“North Korea has already won a lot.” (Huh???)
And on and on and on it will continue, because the fake news media and the Democrats have nothing else – this is all they’ve got.
You want to know who else hates Donald Trump with a renewed passion this morning? The Washington, D.C. professional foreign policy class. Why? Because the President just demonstrated that they are clueless, irrelevant and often counterproductive to our nation’s security.
This class of leeches on the American taxpayer has bumbled, stumbled and fumbled around with the North Korea problem for 64 years, and every effort they’ve made and every diplomatic shibboleth to which they have clung has only made the situation worse. Here comes Donald Trump, this “know-nothing” who doesn’t even speak the passive/aggressive, get-nothing-done, move-at-a-snail’s-pace language of “diplomacy” and rejects every myth these people have constructed around the issue since 1954, and he has an agreement to completely de-nuclearize the Korean Peninsula to send to the Senate for ratification?
Why has this happened? First, because this President, over the course of 14 months, threatened the little Dictator into the realization that his situation was hopeless and that he had a choice of entering into some agreement or end up engaged in a military conflict he had no hope of winning. Second, because the American President allowed him to take the right way out of his mess while saving face. That’s what meeting with Kim face to face – an act no previous president would have even considered on the feverish advice of this foreign policy class of morons – was all about.
The third reason is that this President has also been negotiating this deal with China behind the scenes for more than a year now. The subject of China’s client state has been made a part of every conversation between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping and every negotiation between the two nations on trade and other matters. By strategically making China an integral part of this process, President Trump has also allowed Xi to save face, which is crucially important.
So here we have arrived at an historic turning point in global history, a turning point that holds the promise of making every nation on the face of the earth more secure, and it has happened not because of the efforts and advice of the professional foreign policy class, but in spite of it. Oh, yeah – they hate Trump, they hate him with a passion this morning.
One raving idiot early this morning actually claimed America is “getting nothing” out of this deal. My goodness. Here is what America has already gotten:
- The return of three political prisoners, unharmed, to their families;
- The destruction of Kim’s main nuclear testing facility, which took place a month ago and the fake news media wants you to forget happened;
Here is what America stands to gain:
- The destruction of Kim’s remaining nuclear capability, which Trump expects to happen “quickly”;
- The reduction of nuclear tensions across the globe;
- The stand-down of U.S. armed forces in South Korea after 64 long years;
- The return of the remains of thousands of U.S. servicemen killed during the Korean conflict to their families;
- The saving of tens of billions of dollars every year thanks to being relieved of the burden of having to defend South Korea, Japan, Guam, Hawaii and the U.S. mainland from the machinations of a seemingly mad, nuclear-armed dictator;
- An ultimate end to the uninterrupted risking of thousands of American military lives in a foreign land halfway around the world.
Yeah, that’s a big bag of nothing right there. Where do they find these clowns?
So, add the professional foreign policy class to all the other classes of DC Swamp creatures who already hated this President: The professional campaign class, the professional influence class, the campaign advertising and messaging class, the fake news media class, and all the other classes of DC hangers-on that he has shown to be irrelevant since he announced his campaign in mid-2015.
This is history being made on a grand scale, and it’s all taking place so rapidly that we often hardly have the chance to pause and take it all in. Donald Trump receives and deserves the credit for it, but it’s important to also give credit to the American voter, without whose judgment Mr. Trump would have never assumed office.
The American people took a huge risk on a very unconventional candidate in November 2016, and they are being richly rewarded for having done so.
Just another day of Donald Trump is changing everything America.
That is all.

When it is apparent the deal will work we will begin hearing that Obama laid the groundwork and should get credit.
“this President, over the course of 14 months, threatened the little Dictator...”
_________________________________________________________
He didn’t threaten him, as much as he just told him “how it is”.
I realize leftists consider facts, as threats, but life is a fact, and life is life.
Not even close to becoming tired of all of this WINNING!!
Thank God that we have President Donald J. Trump!
Well said. The leftist war is over TRUTH. They deny many truths. They even call evil good, and good evil. The Declaration starts “We hold these TRUTHS...” The foundation of America is not “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. It is TRUTH.
When it is apparent the deal will work we will begin hearing that Obama laid the groundwork and should get credit.
Oh, yeah, I’d be shocked if Ben Rhodes didn’t start rolling that line of bullshit out on MSNBC today.
“Thank God that we have President Donald J. Trump!”
We needed a CEO who could run America Inc. Our last CEO was a incompetent mail room clerk. The one before him was a CEO who let the majority shareholders run the company and the one before him let the lawyers run the company while he was off chasing interns.
America is a global business. Only a global businessman can run it. And Trump is it.
Donald Trump comes from the private sector—Where results are expected.
That is classic Sun Tzu.
Sun Tzu said:
“When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.”
President Trump pushed Kim in several ways: first by mocking him for months as a minor world player; then by offering an olive branch by inviting North Korea to the Olympics; then by talking tough on denuclearization; then by offering Kim a summit meeting; then calling off the summit meeting in response to harsh words from North Korea; then by restoring the meeting when a chastened Kim appealed Trump to do so; then by threatening tougher sanctions if Kim didn't follow through; then by Trump saying he'd only stay for 24 hours.
Each of these times, Trump left Kim an "out" as a way of saving face, all the while gently guiding Kim to Trump's desired result.

A couple od days ago, that blithering idiot from California, Swalwell, said that President Trump isn’t qualified to be POTUS because he doesn’t have political “experience”.
In my opinion, we need a lot more people who have real jobs and careers outside of politics to become part of the government and a lot less of those “professional career politicians” who have spent their entire lives serving their own interests.
Just think about our Founding Fathers. Not one of those gentlemen were career politicians and they did pretty damned good.
This is the first time an international business mogul has lowered himself to become President. Americans are so used to the serial mediocrity that usually inhabits the Whitehouse it’s mind boggling to view competence at work.
DB BUMP
He was either given reports or saw first hand the men who died from severe radiation poisoning after the collapse of he nuke test facility
That probably scared him more than anything. HE could wind up like that.
The Bush League Republicans have been successful at forcing US to vote for their amnesty candidates for 30 years.
They thought they had US in a box.
Thank God Trump stepped up to save US from the Bush League Republicans.
Now we have to do our part and remove the rest of them from office.
Flake, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Hyde-Smith, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans hell bent on making America into North Mexico
Notice, Trump has also kicked the Mueller Russia probe completely out of the world’s attention. Unless Mueller comes up with some sort of seismic indictment, he’s Page 10 news from now on.
