President Donald J. Trump was right. DC is a virulent swamp. The deep state is crooked. The media is rigged. And Trump is blowing it all up. One man is defeating the whole crooked cabal. It’s a Christmas miracle.
First, the Trump economy is exploding like nothing we’ve seen since President Reagan. As I’ve reported on my national TV and radio shows like a broken record, the Fed reports GDP will be 3.3% for 2017, lifted by a 4thquarter with a remarkable 4% GDP. Unimaginable numbers.
Small business confidence is now the highest in the history of measurement. Manufacturing confidence is the highest in the history of measurement. Only days ago, home builder confidence just hit the highest level since 1999. The Dow just rose 5,000 points in a year for the first time in history.
Even liberal-leaning economists are joining in the euphoria. CNBC’s “All-American Economic Survey” just came out. It shows the most optimistic result in its history, with more than half the economists rating the economy as good or excellent, and 41% of economists expecting the economy to be better a year from now. That’s never happened before
CNBC reported Trump’s popularity is rising too. Despite an unprecedented media assault on a president, with studies showing over 90% of all Trump coverage in the mainstream media is negative, Trump is FINALLY getting credit for this rapidly-expanding economy. 42% of respondents say they approve of the job Trump is doing, according to CNBC’s poll. 83% of Republicans approve, more than half of independents approve.
And you can bet pretty much all the rest of the poll respondents don’t pay taxes and/or collect a government check! That’s the mistake of poll takers. Stop telling me what everyone thinks. What matters is what taxpayers think. Only those with “skin in the game” should be polled. Then you’d find out the real reason for the divide in America.
Maybe I’ll start my own poll. It will be called “The Makers/Takers Index.” I’ll bet 70% or more of people that actually pay taxes and/or create jobs (MAKERS) love the job Trump is doing. I’ll bet 90% or more of those who collect welfare, food stamps and free Obamacare (TAKERS) despise Trump. That’s the divide in America today.
No one, other than Trump himself, his family, his closest aides, and this columnist, believed Trump could turn around the US economy this fast, this big. No economist in America believed we could ever get back to 4% GDP. But we’re only getting started. Wait until you see what happens in the next few years after the Trump/GOP tax cut goes into effect. Expect to see quarters of 5% and 6% GDP. Something experts predicted could never again happen.
So far, I’ve only reported on the wonderful economic news. Here’s another little fact you may have missed on the evening news. President Trump has defeated ISIS.
All it took was common sense. Trump simply untied the hands of the military leadership. He told the Generals “Go kill them.” He put the military in charge of war, instead of liberal lawyers. This past Sunday, New York Times columnist Ross Douthat wrote a piece about Trump’s remarkable military victory.
Douthat wrote that he was no fan of Trump, he actually endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. But he admitted that Trump’s foreign policy success has shocked him. Douthat honestly reported that “if you had told me in 2016 that a year into the Trump era the (ISIS) caliphate would be all-but-beaten without something far worse happening in the Middle East, I would have been surprised and gratified.”
This New York Times Hillary supporter then reported that ISIS militants were routed by Trump without a massive ground invasion, or getting into a war with Russia or Syria. He called ISIS “the defining foreign policy calamity of Barack Obama’s second term” while calling it a “press failure” for refusing to admit Trump won against all odds.
I think Douthat is being naïve and far too nice. This omission by the mainstream media isn’t “press failure.” It’s pure fraud.
Trump turned around the economy faster and bigger than any expert believed possible. And Trump routed ISIS faster and bigger than any expert believed possible.
It’s Christmas time and we have “a Trump Christmas Miracle” to celebrate. God bless America.
