Trump is commonsensically undoing, piece by piece, the main components of Obama’s legacy.
onald Trump continues to baffle. Never Trump Republicans still struggle to square the circle of quietly agreeing so far with most of his policies, as they loudly insist that his record is already nullified by its supposedly odious author. Or surely it soon will be discredited by the next Trumpian outrage. Or his successes belong to congressional and Cabinet members, while his failures are all his own. Rarely do they seriously reflect on what otherwise over the last year might have been the trajectory of a Clinton administration.
[snip]Few Republicans in the executive branch sought to reduce government employment, deregulate, sanction radical expansion of fossil-fuel production, question the economic effects of globalization on Americans between the coasts, address deindustrialization, recalibrate the tax code, rein in the EPA, secure the border, reduce illegal immigration, or question transnational organizations. To do all that would require a president to be largely hated by the Left, demonized by the media, and caricatured in popular culture — and few were willing to endure the commensurate ostracism.
Trump has done all that in a manner perhaps more Reaganesque than Reagan himself.

Hooray!
As Trump removes Obama’s socialist restraints on the American economy, the growth is even greater than expected. The economy is compensating for what did not occur between 2009-2016.
Now that is how to excerpt! Thank you!
“...The economy is compensating for what did not occur between 2009-2016....”
Hope you’re right because the muslim POS tried to totally destroy this country in every manner possible, including the economy. He and Hitlery need to be locked up in Gitmo together as cellmates for the rest of their traitorous lives. Also, toss in that Iranian beotch he had advising him too. Three of em...in a cell together forever. When one of em croaks, don’t even bother to remove the carcass. Now that, would be real justice.

The entire politicicized Obama movement was a liberal fascist movement based on racism, extortion, and pay for play.
Obama selectively enforced US laws so as to create dysfunction in American institutions and in law enforcement, promoting drug trade across our borders and helping both the Mexican cartels and Hezbollah.
Obama’s organization were on the take bigtime. As was the Clinton Foundation. The non-profit Clinton charity was nothing but a global money-laundering scheme. Haiti received a paltry $1.6 billion in aid of the over $13 billion raised, including tax dollars and money raised by the Clinton Foundation supposedly earmarked for earthquake relief.
Obama/Clinton (and their organizations) are racketeers disguised as politicians. They should ALL be prosecuted under RICO statutes. They are essentially mafia-like entities that should be disbanded and their filthy lucre forfeited.
Hence my nickname for him for 9 years, “Zero.”
Cuz that’s what his administration will be when it’s all done.
“The first black president,” then nothing else in the history books.
The best thing about Trump- He doesn’t eem to care what the media say.
Bush reacted endlessly to the latest news cycle, and the GOP-leg congress too. (especially!)
The MEDIA seemed to control the government.
Now, Trump is driving the media... and it’s a glorious thing to see.
What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women.
“...The economy is compensating for what did not occur between 2009-2016....”...........
I cautiously await the eventual decline of the markets current position. Hopefully the “decline” will be minimal and short lived.
Correct. President Trump is quietly going about the restoration of America, while loudly throwing other stuff around to keep his opponents totally unfocused.
I can only imagine how this must have worked in his business dealings. Play the fool with women and restaurants, while setting them up for contract negotiations on the other side.
President Trump is not trying to undo everything Obama did. He is trying to promote the welfare of America and Americans. This has the incidental effect of undoing everything Obama did.
I am hoping that the Obama and Clinton foundations are being investigated.
For these grifters having their ill gotten gains taken will be more devastating than them going to trial and possibly jail
Excellent point that should become Trumps narrative.
Do both. Penniless and in prison is a just end for these criminals, seditionists and traitors.
His name is Victor Davis Hanson.
Remember- Odumbass wanted to “fundamentally transform” the USA.
As if he thought The President could do that.
Excellent article! VDH nails it.
In the event of any news event we would have to wait for the lamer's filter to find out what the president thought, when they would ask him a question, then they would decide in what context they could spin it.
Trump tweets out his opinion thus avoiding the lame-filter.
The lame-one's heads are spinning which makes them spew out their vile which makes us very happy.
Donald Trump is brilliant.
