If you didn’t get that reference, it’s from Army of Darkness. Watch the clip below and enjoy the awesomeness that is Bruce Campbell. It’s corny and hilarious, it was influential in my upbringing. I blame my somewhat idiotic sense of humor on it. Watch the whole movie. It will blow your mind!
Good. Bad. I’m the guy with the gun.
So Trump.
The guy is certainly far from perfect. But he’s pretty magnificent also.
I didn’t particularly want him, I would have preferred Rand Paul or Ted Cruz. Either of them would have been able to dance through the political pitfalls of the office with a savage grace as they cut government down to a fraction of it’s current size. It would have been a glorious red tape cutting ceremony of governmental death and destruction.
Shame.
But when it came down to Trump or Hillary, it was a no-brainer for my vote.
A Democrat Mafia Crime Boss with socialist leanings who is a sex crime enabler and actively destroyed the reputation of her Impeached Serial Rapist Ex-President Husband’s victims while taking foreign donations in return for political favors run through her fraudulent Clinton Foundation as well as comprising our national security to keep her secretive and illegal doings away from the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) and not only ran a poorly secure server but also literally smashed her cell phones with a hammer so data couldn’t be retrieved, or an Egotistical Flamboyant Billionaire with a potty mouth and moderate stances who selflessly was willing to give up billions of dollars from his empire as well as subjecting himself to the unceasing assault on every aspect of his life from both the left and right to do what he viewed was best for our country and not himself.
One is full of snails and puppy dog tails and the other full of gold and spice and everything that is better than everything else.
Easy choice.
(Feel free to cut and paste that when your hear people whine about how the election was stolen by the Ruskies or swayed by Sexism.)
Don’t take this as some sort of Trump-Worship, he’s certainly not without faults. (Aren’t we all?)
At times he seems to Forest Gump his way through the blood thirsty Democrat/Never-Trumper piranhas with a sort of political naivety that is astonishing. At other times, he makes brilliant chess moves. No one is perfect. (Although in his mind he is.) But I’ll take an Ego with a penchant for putting America first than the last president with an Ego who put America last.
But not only has he been entertaining to observe, he’s been incredibly effective.
I honestly believe the man wants his face carved on Mount Rushmore.
And he probably deserves it.
But not in the way that Obama received a Nobel Peace Price. (That’s hideously ironic given what I am about to say a little further down about his wartime record.). Obama received it in a ‘I hope you will do well – here’s a famous trophy you are getting for participation that normally goes to people who actually achieve something” that the Nobel Prize Committee later said they regretted.
I’m trying to find a way to compare his historical upset over Hillary to the sitting Vice President Aaron Burr shooting the former Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton in a duel back in 1804. (From what I gather Hillary’s reaction to losing that glorious fall night back in 2016 was much, much worse than being mortally wounded with a lead ball through the liver.)
But I dunno.
There is an analogy there somewhere I’m certain of it…
Anyways.
In the first eight months:
We’ve seen the stock market break record after record and soar to new highs. It’s amazing what optimism will do for a market coupled with a healthy dose of government deregulation (ALL Businesses LOVE deregulation, because regulations tend to strangle more than help). Yeah, yeah – Obama was handed a raw deal. True. But his economic policies kept it in the dumps longer than it should have, just like FDR’s New Deal programs delayed the recovery from the Great Depression. Do you remember right up to the election how the Media was screaming that the sky would fall if Trump was elected and the stock market would plummet 20% because he’s SO BAD and we would enter this horrific depression and the world would end? Instead it went UP 20%.
Which brings me to another feather in Trumps cap. He promised 2 regulations removed for every new one implemented. Last I saw that ratio is actually 16 regulations kicked to the curb for every 1 new one! This is speculated to save businesses 4 BILLION dollars. That’s $4 Billion dollars that is better spent investing and expanding, adding jobs, devising new methods, tech advancements, etc. (Que the Socialists screaming that the CEO’s will just pocket the 4 Billion while the people suffer in squalor… Maybe they WILL pocket a big chunk of it, but so what? You think they aren’t going to spend that money on new mistresses and super cars? The money will go back into the economy and spur other businesses. See the result so far below.)
One Million new jobs added. That’s one million people who are going to work. Think of the economic boost of that. One Million more people have money to spend(thereby stimulating the rest of the economy). One Million more people are paying into the government tax system instead of taking from it. This is huge. This is magnificent. This should be celebrated.
We’ve seen ISIS on the verge of defeat, after years of Obama’s inaction as thousands were tortured, raped, and murdered by the barbaric ‘JV Team’. I suppose Obama’s Legacy was more important than Humanity, because he didn’t want to get mired down in a war caused by him not listening to our Generals and bringing back troops to early. Jokes on you, you are the first President to be at war every single day of their Presidency. Someone should have made a War Monger medal for you. We should make it look like a giant tear drop with streaks of blood.
We’ve FINALLY seen a hard stance taken against North Korea. It’s a shame it’s taken around 60 years for a President to stop kicking that Human Rights Violating Can down the road and decide it’s time to do something(unfortunately they now have the ability to hit our homeland because we waited TO LONG!). The sanctions were a huge win, we cut their exports(income) by 2/3rds! He even got the Ruskies and Chinese on board! (BTW – The UN has ‘adopted a resolution condemning NK on Human Rights Violations’ every year since 2003. But they are to busy running guns, drugs, and child sex slave rings in third world countries to actually do something about it.) Every time I see some meme or mention about how ‘Say what you want about Obama – but under him I never worried about a NUCLEAR WAR!’ – it makes me angry. But it’s true. Because he was a gutless pansy who was to busy implementing Climate Change policies to ‘save future generations’ while he allowed North Korea and Iran get closer and closer to nukes that would wipe out millions in the present if launched.
We’ve seen 11,000 jobs cut out of the Federal Government. FINALLY! Obama added 60,000 government jobs in his first 6 months and Dub Bush added 50,000. This is a move in the right direction in cutting wasteful spending.
We are seeing finally seeing the tide of illegal immigration turning. The drastic drain on our countries social, medical, judicial, and educational system and resources is beginning to slow. We are at the lowest illegal immigration rate in 17 years, down almost 60%. That’s without a WALL! That’s by just letting the current laws actually be implemented as they should, allowing the Border Patrol to do their job, and removing the biggest driving force behind illegal immigration – free stuff. We are either a nation of Laws or a nation of Lawlessness. Trump is allowing the enforcement of Law.
He exposed the Media and Democrats for who they really are. The party of hate, lies, misconceptions, and intolerance. We’ve said it for years, that the Media is basically the left arm of the Democratic party. Now they don’t even try to act impartial. It’s a hate mongering fest of Anti-Trump 24/7. Every new leak, every new development, every misstep is broadcasted in the worst light possible and anything positive is stamped down or shoved to a back page. Anything potentially bad is rapidly disseminated without verification in hopes of over-turning his presidency with public outcry, or hoping something will actually stick so they can remove him from office, or at the least making it as difficult as possible to implement the agenda he was elected for.
He exposed the Republicans for who THEY really are. The wish-washy Elitist Club who will say anything to be elected then fail us when they have the ability to win. Nothing is more disgusting than their inability to ACT. My own party has become the back stabbing Power Crazed Clique who will protect their elitism from any outside commoner who dares to not toe the party line and hold them accountable. Majority of them are gutless and unworthy of re-election. McCain comes to mind. Grrr.
He pushed American energy independence. The XL pipeline was a start. The EPA is getting their spiteful butts kicked up and down Washington as they are finally reigned in from their over-reaching business crushing actions. He backed out of the needless Paris Accord on Climate Change, where we would have punched ourselves in the economic groin for decades while China and India get a boost on the world stage from our self-inflicted economic wounds. (Because we REALLY should just let India, a Cast-System, and China, a bunch of filthy Communists, be front and center on the world stage instead of a Democratic Republic that promotes FREEDOM and PROSPERITY)
He got Gorsuch for the Supreme Court. This is magnificent. Not only did he get a super-duper awesome Textualist. (Believes the Constitution is a binding legal document, NOT a living document that changes interpretation through the generations) He’s a big supporter of religious rights and against government-overreach. This YUGE WIN aside, Trump is also rocking the Federal Judicial Court system, with 20 plus strict conservative judge appointments and the opportunity for upwards of 100. An unprecedented amount. Now he needs to shatter the 9th District (The Nutty 9th) and break their insane liberal stranglehold.
Held the VA Accountable. Under Obama only 13-14 people were fired after the VA scandal broke. Now over 500 have been fired and 200 suspended in the last six months. Clean the house!
He bombed Syria. Remember Obama’s Red Line? He may have been well-mannered, polished, and charismatic, but he did nothing and then the entire world knew he was a scrotum-less chump. Our enemies were emboldened and our allies weakened. Trump did it and both parties and the world applauded him for it. Audentes Fortuna Iuvat…. Fortune Favors the Bold.
Good stuff.
We should be reveling his achievements. That means we should be drinking, dancing, and enjoying ourselves in a rambunctious and loud manner. Yes. LETS!
But of course the Media is searching for the Russian-Collusion Boogey-Man, trying to sway popular opinions against him, and trying to dethrone a duly elected president.
There’s a party-pooper at every party.
Now – Again, he’s not without flaws and failures. I’m not a mindless drone trying to elevate Trump to a position he doesn’t deserve.
The guy trips himself up over and over again. He will do something magnificent and then ruin the momentum of it by tweeting or doing something stupid and unimportant.
I get it.
When someone says something mean about him, Trump isn’t going to lay down and take it. He’s going to swing back. And that’s a great sight to behold… sometimes. Especially after years of spineless Republicans getting battered around by the left without putting their dukes up. But a lot of times he sabotages himself as everyone around him has to go into damage control or fight the blatant media spin.
A good example is how he is handling Korea, Fire and Fury. Awesome! Then he calls out McConnell for being a worthless hack who can’t get the job done after seven years of empty talk and hints that he should resign. Sweet!
Then he fumbles Putin kicking our diplomatic staff out. Putin’s goons have been terrorizing our diplomatic staff for years now. Including killing their dogs, breaking in and intentionally leaving lights on, etc. Trumps response was moronic, “Oh thanks for cutting government jobs, I’ve been wanting to do that!”. NO NO NO. Bend Putin over and spank him. Even if that was tongue in cheap, you need to have a firm and forceful response. Don’t show weakness, they don’t respect that.
Now that response brings back up the Russia-Collusion Theory. The Media loves that baseless claim. Sheesh – It’s not like he gave 20% of our Uranium to Russia then received a bunch of Clinton Foundation Donations… Oh I know, Snopes will disagree with me. That’s because they have a blatant leftist leaning. Did you know that the Founder of Snopes has been accused of fraud, embezzlement, and prostitution? But Snopes is a bastion of truth! (They should go back to debunking internet and email chains and stay out of politics.)
BTW – Did you know that when Hillary gave that famous red button to the Ruskies when she was Sec of State, they mistranslated the word on it? It was supposed to say ‘Reset’ and instead it actually said, “Overload”.
LOL. That’s irrelevant, but funny.
Back to his tweets, the majority are actually good. They talk about what he is doing, what he wants to do, or the progress he has made. But for every hundred good tweets, the media will pick up on the one cruddy one to go mainstream with. Because they WANT everyone to think he’s a mean spirited unhinged lunatic who is dangerous to us all and we just HAVE to stop him!
So, good deeds, bad words. I’m okay with that.
And if you ever find yourself sad or you worry that the Conservative movement is going to fail and falter under Trump… Or that those turd-burgling party-poopers are going to get him removed from office and face the WRATH of the people…
Just remember that under Obama the Democrats lost over 1,200 state and federal positions. As a party they aren’t even a National Party anymore, they are a handful of hold-out cities. Which are typically crime ridden, sky-high taxed, politically corrupt dens of hell that we only visit for the Beach, Pizza, and Monuments.
They’ve neutered themselves and now they are willing to sacrifice other organs as they continue their progressive dreams of change. (I’ll take a Kidney in the 2018 Elections please!)
As they do this I believe more people will flee the party of hate and discontent. Kind of like how Trump and Reagan left them. That’s two Presidents you could have had in the bag!
I know. The Polls! The POLLS! They say the entire country HATES TRUMP! Lowest approval rate of all presidents! (That one had a 14% higher number of Democrats included in the sample – Go figure). Look back to the primaries, the majority of polls were wrong. Constantly.
Remember how Hillary was going to smoke-check Trump in the Election? Even though she had to cancel events because there were to few people turning out and Trump was filling stadiums and auditoriums. Hillary’s team was poppin’ bottles of champagne on their planes before a single state had recorded it’s results yet. Remember the smug look giving way to despair and angst on all the newscasters faces as the results rolled in and the realization sunk in? GLORIOUS. There were actual TEARS! And people think they are unbiased?!
Don’t trust the polls.
Every election they say, “So close! So Close! Or “Left will SMASH the right!” Kind of like every special election we’ve had this year to replace Trumps Cabinet picks, the Left is going to win. Then the Right does by usually a comfortable margin.
Polls are incredibly easy to bias. I took Statistics in college. I got a bad grade in it…. But the only thing that mattered to me was the first day of class when we were told, “Stats are never absolute or without some bias, can always change, and are easily influenced and swayed to get the desired outcome.” I think of that every time I see a Poll.
So ignore the nay-saying and wishful impeachment thinking. Instead think about all the amazing achievements that an Establishment Republican never would have had the cojones to back or implement that Trump has managed to do. They might be buried under the media narrative, but they are there, and they are grand.
Because – Good. Bad. He’s the guy with the Presidency.
