Almost indiscernible in the endless tumult about President Donald Trump is the objective return of American might, right on our doorstep. A casual sampler of the Canadian, and even the American, media, might think that the United States was so far along in its decline that the entire process of government and normal public discourse had broken down in that country, and that the much-discussed process of national decline was accelerating in a climate of virtual chaos.
In fact, the economy of the United States is astoundingly strong: full employment, an expanding work force, negligible inflation and about three per cent economic growth. And it is a broad economic recovery, not based on service industries as in the United Kingdom (where London handles most of Europe’s financial industry, while most of British industry has fled), and not based largely on the fluctuating resources markets as has often been Canada’s experience. In the eight years of president Obama, the United States lost 219,000 manufacturing jobs; in the two years of Trump, the country has added 477,000 manufacturing jobs. This was not supposed to be possible, and this time, unlike in the great Reagan boom, it cannot be dismissed by the left (and it was false in the eighties) as a profusion of “hamburger flippers, dry cleaners and people delivering pizza,” (all necessary occupations).

Thank you, president Trump.
Keep going and MAGA!
Betting against America is a losing proposition.
Some communists in the lower 48 are soon to be in for a world of hurt.
They’ve been hurting since Trump’s election
Enjoy their tears, I know I do.
GREAT JOB PRESIDENT TRUMP!
“NON ILLIGITIMI CARBORUNDUM EST.”
The liberals and their propaganda arm (U.S. media) would commit hari-kiri before admitting this...
