White House Report Card: A series of Big Wins.....
washingtonexaminer ^ | 5/23/2020 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 05/23/2020 9:32:11 AM PDT by caww

Trump had a very good week, pressuring states to reopen, threatening to withdraw from the Open Skies treaty with Russia, ending all funding to the World Health Organization, and launching another round of deregulation.

Trump won a big battle in the Supreme Court when it denied Congress the right to examine secret grand jury testimony from the Mueller “Russia collusion” investigation. The Democrats said they needed it to try to impeach Trump — again.

Withdrawing from the Open Skies treaty (because the Russians are denying flights over Kaliningrad and Chechnya) is a positive step, as is Trump’s refusal to enter into more strategic arms agreements with just Russia. He wants, but won’t get, China’s agreement to join in a new round of treaties.

Trump’s nominee for the director of national intelligence, Rep. John Ratcliffe, was confirmed by the Senate. He will probably continue the declassification of Obama-era documents begun by acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell.

Late in the week, Trump announced that he will prevent the closing of the economy if there’s another round of COVID-19 infections nationwide. His pressure on states to reopen is having an effect on the electorate, if not (so far) many states.

Trump’s new push for deregulation comes at an opportune time. The economy, when people get back to work, will surge to prosperity quickly, thanks in part to Trump’s deregulatory actions.

Democratic pollster John Zogby, however, graded Trump an “F,” writing that Trump is the president for only half the nation. “

Zogby is disgusting. This is a completely nonsensical statement. He's implying, not subtly, that a RaT president would be everyone's president.

These people are pure filth.

No, mobilizing the military to administer “Operation Warp Speed” vaccination with an experimental and untested mRNA vaccine is no win.

And while Trump plays along, the rest of this stuff is noise.

I see it didn’t take you long to post the negatives in the article rather than celebrate we have a President who continues to work hard and successfully wins the battles which he can.

I don’t remember if “half the nation” also applied to Bill Clinton when he didn’t get 50% of the votes in either of his elections. I would have graded Clinton a G!

Not hard seeing even on FR you guys show up anymore to downplay any successes Trump has.....What do you do just look for reasons to squawk because Trumps not scratching your itches?

People can decide for themselves the risks they choose to take...and you do likewise.

So true. That really irks me when the RAT politicians say that people must vote for them to “bring the country together” - as if OUR 50% is just going to be good-to-go with that.

Scum.

I never stated ‘I’ did now did I? As usual you jump to conclusions.

Hey Zogby, Trump’s approval rating is higher than Obama’s at this point in his presidency. I bet you didn’t ever give Obama an F.

Interesting (yet typical) that the successes summarized in this article got scant or no mention in the MSM.

I only learned of the (straight party line vote, as usual) confirmation of the “controversial” (as usual) Ratcliffe when I stumbled upon the info on a conservative website.

I am happy with the information.

Doesn’t make Zogby any less of an elitist partisan dick
