Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Ok, well, he IS the Boss. – Bruce Springsteen says he doesn’t “see anyone out there at the moment… the man who can beat Trump, or the woman who can beat Trump.” For some reason, the UK Daily Mail thought it was important for us all to know that, so there you go.
Tired of all this Winning yet? – President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed during the G-20 Summit over the weekend to a 90-day pause in the ongoing trade war between the two nations. While leftists in and out of our fake news media are poo-pooing the deal as just a return to the status quo prior to President Trump’s implementation of new tariffs, that is not the case at all.
The U.S. side of the deal apparently consists of agreeing to not increase U.S. tariffs on hundreds of billions of Chinese goods for the 90-day period, as Trump had threatened to do on January 1. In return, China agrees to rescind its tariffs on imports of U.S. automobiles, roll back its 40% tariff rates on most U.S. goods to lower levels, agreed to purchase an as-yet unspecified amount of U.S. goods to reduce the trade deficit, and – perhaps most importantly – to “stiffen penalties on sales of the powerful opioid fentanyl into the U.S., a step the White House press secretary described as ‘a wonderful humanitarian gesture.'”
Leftists might not like it, but the markets obviously do: Dow futures are up bigly as I write this Update this morning. #WINNING.
Speaking of winning… – City officials in Tijuana, Mexico acted to move the estimated 6,000 “migrants” out of the sports facility they had occupied for the last few weeks due to the horrid unsanitary conditions they had created there. In a move that will make it harder for the activists among the crowd to mount further assaults on the border crossings there, city officials moved the “migrants” to an abandoned concert venue more than 10 miles further away from the border.
Griff Jenkins at Fox News – and basically no one else in our fake news media – reported last Friday that fully 1/3rd of the “migrants” were being treated for health issues, including head lice, “tuberculosis, four cases of HIV/AIDS and four separate cases of chickenpox,” according to local health authorities. With the unsanitary conditions growing worse by the day, Mexican officials also feared an outbreak of Hepatitis could take place unless the crowd was moved.
In another related turn of events, newly-inaugurated Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO), in one of his first acts in office, “signed an agreement with his counterparts from three Central American countries to establish a development plan to stem the flow of migrants seeking asylum in the U.S.” This compact was entered into at the urging of the Trump Administration.
Here’s why this is important, even if the human misery among these poor people is hard to watch: The move 10 miles further from the border will no doubt encourage more of them to either return home or accept the generous offer of asylum the Mexican government has been offering them for more than a month now. This “caravan” once numbered more than 10,000, so many already have done so, as Mexican officials confirmed early last week.
The other key factor is that, as it becomes clear that the United States of America is not going to allow these “caravans” to just walk right into our country and sign up for welfare benefits, it will become increasingly difficult for the leftist activists forming and funding them to find people in Honduras and other Central American nations willing to participate. The new willingness of the Mexican government to cooperate with U.S. efforts to halt this tide is a crucial development in all of this.
You will never see anyone at CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post or any of the three dying broadcast networks admit this, but these latest developments demonstrate how extraordinarily effective the Trump Administration’s response to this “migrant caravan” issue has been.
It is such a joy to have a President who just goes to work every day and finds ways to get things done for the American people rather than cowering in fear at the prospect of getting a little bad press. To get to this point on this “caravan” issue, President Trump has had to overcome decades of horrible immigration policy decisions, the cacophony of inaccurate and outright fake reporting coming from the U.S. and international news media, ongoing resistance from some within his own Administration and a seemingly unending series of laughably unconstitutional decisions issued by an array of Obama-appointed federal judges.
Yet still he not only perseveres, but finds ways to prevail. That is #WINNING. Bigly.

3,748 1:03 AM - Dec 3, 2018 2,173 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy By the way, just so everyone understands, the reason why French Child President Emanuel Macron is raising that nation’s already confiscatory gasoline tax to even higher levels is not, as some have reported, an attempt to improve the government’s budget situation. What it really is is a fool’s effort to meet his country’s emissions reduction goals which France – like every nation on earth other than the United States of America – pledged to meet as a part of the Paris Climate Accords.
France’s emissions have actually increased since Macron committed his country to that socialist wealth redistribution scam, which is an embarrassment to him and his government. But hey, he’s not alone – not one single, solitary signatory country to the Paris Accords has met its pledged goals. Indeed, the country that has cut its emissions more than any nation on earth since that deal was signed is…wait for it…The United States of America.
Some of you probably tire of seeing me make this point, but it’s a key point to make: This is just one more reason to be thrilled that Donald J. Trump won the 2016 presidential contest. Because had the Pantsuit Princess prevailed that historic day, the streets of New York and Los Angeles would probably be burning along with those in Paris.
That is all. Follow me on Twitter at @GDBlackmon

.Keep winning President Trump!!
Thanks for the update. Now I understand what is going on with the tariffs and the US/China trade war.
Music to my ears. Now if only we would hear this from the MSM.
When pigs fly......
Bookmark...Trump is winning...
Not tired of winning, just worried that all the losing by the left is making them more vindictive and evil. I’m going to need to stockpile eggs for the next election when all the RINOS for president and antifa jagoffs show up in NH next year.
It only winning if you trust the ChiComs. Only fools trust the ChiComs. Tariffs are the only solution because it requires NOTHING from our gook enemies who are ruthless assholes and will screw us over in a NY minute.
Nobody trusts the ChiComs. As the great Ronaldus Magnus said about the Russians: Trust, but Verify. That’s the Trump Administration’s position on the ChiComs.
“It is such a JOY to have a President who just goes to work EVERY DAY and finds ways to GET THINGS DONE for the American PEOPLE rather than cowering in fear at the prospect of getting a little bad press.”
Best. President. Ever. Best. FLOTUS. Ever. MAGA! :)
The news about the ‘caravan’ being moved 10 miles further BACK is fan-tastic! All those women and little children removed from harms way! ;)
When the Dow breaks an all time record by the end of December and we have a 3% GDP re ember this quote from Trump’s sister Maryanne: “I learned at an early age not to compete with Donald because always wins.”
The point about the Paris Accord really should be tweeted by Trump. How else will anyone ever know that?
Whatever the MSM says about this, there is rejoicing in my company today. Our company is one of the few that has a high percentage of our (all hi-tech) products which are exported to China. Our owner made the decision several months ago to keep our China prices the same, and eat the tariffs. He did this out of faith that Trump would cut a fair deal with Xi.
To those that whined and sniveled that we were in a "trade war" with China, we were NOT. We were in a negotiated "Deal", that's beginning to look good for all.
Don't tell the Clintons about the abandoned concert venue; next thing you know they'll be dragging Bon Jovi south of the border.
True, but tariffs are a weapon, not a goal.
Tariffs are a goal. Import tariffs are way superior to income taxes.
If the Mexicans keep moving the “migrants” 10 miles south as soon as where they are becomes unsanitary, in four years, there will be a trail of toxic waste dumps leading south to the Mexican border.
Sort of like the grain elevators across South Dakota...every 10 miles.
For farmers it comes at just the right time.
At 2% of the economy farmers have way to much political influence.
