Blue State Blues: After 300 Days, Trump Administration Finds a Rhythm
brietbart ^

Posted on 11/17/2017 7:23:09 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Thursday, November 16 marked 300 days since President Donald Trump took office on January 20. The third 100 days were even more tumultuous than the first 100 and second 100. And much remains undone. There are still jobs to fill, promises to keep, and bills to sign. Trump has yet to notch a major legislative achievement (thanks, in part, to infighting and incompetence in Congress).

But the Trump administration seems, at last, to have found a rhythm.

If the first 100 days were defined by Trump’s executive orders, and the second 100 days by the controversy over James Comey and the Russia investigation, the third 100 days were largely defined by foreign policy.

In early August — day 201 — Trump offered North Korea his infamous warning of “fire and fury like the world has never seen.” By day 295, he was mocking Kim Jong-un as “short and fat,” which probably represents a sort of progress.

At the same time, Trump announced the deployment of additional troops to Afghanistan, breaking with his own rhetoric on the campaign trail and risking the support of his political base, which worried that he had given in to advisers from the Beltway “swamp.” (Conversely, Washington praised Trump’s decision.) The major difference between Trump’s “surge” and that of his predecessor was that Trump declined to give a date for withdrawal.

More importantly, there are hundreds of thousands of unconstitutional federal government jobs to be terminated as we move to restoring our Free Constitutional Republic.

Unfortunately, with Sessions heading up a corrupt DOJ, none of these blue state mayors, governors, etc. have been put in prison for harboring illegal aliens.

Meanwhile, the blue slips have been torn up and judicial appoiuntment continue apace.....Trump’s Energy Policy will lead to dominance by the USA in coal, LNG, oil and raw materials for the plastics industries.

Breibart is beyond pathetic. Plus their site sucks, it barely loads with all the bloat on it. Glad I’ve never been a Briebart fan.

Breitbart, unlike you, is helping to MAGA.

“Blue State Blues: After 300 Days, Trump Administration Finds a Rhythm”

just another way of saying that the fake stream media has totally exhausted itself in attacking trump with zero results ... there was never any “chaos” in the trump administration - that was all fake news manufactured by the fake stream media.

“Trump has yet to notch a major legislative achievement”

“By day 295, he was mocking Kim Jong-un as “short and fat,” which probably represents a sort of progress”

“breaking with his own rhetoric on the campaign trail and risking the support of his political base, which worried that he had given in to advisers from the Beltway “swamp.””

“The major difference between Trump’s “surge” and that of his predecessor was that Trump declined to give a date for withdrawal.” (Lie of omission.)

Yup, you and I are in total agreement. I have been ranting on this topic ever since Sessions was sworn in. Trump needs to kick the little bastard in the ass and tell him to get moving.

All of that’s good but the the greatest challenge by far in our goal of restoring our Free Constitutional Republic is dismantling the unconstitutional 80% portion of the $4 trillion rouge, tyrannical federal government. THAT is why it is so important that we get the right guy in 2024 to continue what Trump has begun.

“After 300 days, it seemed he had finally found his groove.”

Trump found his groove after 300 days?? What stupid statement.

This article is not MAGA.

I agree that that opinion is stupid but it is not a lie. Overall the Breitbart org is one of the few media good guys out there.

Trump has been tireless and deserves much better so we the People can get what we deserve.

GOPe/RINOs working in tandem with Dems trying to prevent conservatives from "polluting" their comfy status quo....
