What a week he is having! Or
month. Or first 5 & ½ months of his presidency. The “he” of whom I speak,
is, of course, President Donald J. Trump. Has any president ever had a
couple of weeks like the past two for Trump? Has any president ever had such a
torrid and impactful start to his term? The border
is secure, something many thought impossible a relative blink of
an eye ago. The stock market, S & P 500 and Dow Jones alike, is at an
all-time high. Tariffs
have brought in large sums of money to the treasury…or wherever it goes. Yet
inflation is down. Real wages are up. Illegal aliens are being sent
back. Crime is down. Optimism is up, at least among the rational and attentive.
Our NATO partners seem to
have finally pledged to contribute 5% of
their GDP to their own defense. Viable trade deals have been negotiated between
the U.S. and several other nations. Iran’s nuclear weapons program has been
dealt a serious blow. There is, perhaps, now a better chance of lasting peace
in the Middle East. The Trump administration, led by Secretary of State Marco
Rubio, has secured a peace treaty
between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Rwanda, nations
that have been fighting for literally decades. (Trump has once again been
nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.)
And just days ago, Trump’s “One
Big Beautiful Bill” was passed by the Senate and the House, a
major victory for the Winner-in-Chief. And I could go on.
Trump is a true “Independent-Republican,”
and has essentially overridden and demolished the old country club Republican
Party. Thank God. Trump, perhaps more justifiably than almost anyone else,
could be a snobbish, uncaring elitist. He is not. He is the opposite. He
truly cares about the “common man.” It honestly pains him when there is
needless death and destruction, whether in his own country or abroad. He
doesn’t revel in the deaths of Ukranians, Russians, Israelis, or Palestinians
for that matter. For some reason, he even purportedly declined to target Iran’s
Ayatollah Khamenei for assassination.
Yet he has Americans’ backs.
If aggressive action must be taken to protect Americans, he will do so…anywhere
in the world. But he knows that unquestioned strength is the best—indeed the only—way
to prevent war and conflict in the future.
Make no mistake about it,
Trump is the Republican party right now. And RINOs better learn that
lesson once and for all. MAGA is—and has to be—the future of the GOP.
Fortunately, many have come to that realization, and the likes of J.D. Vance,
Marco Rubio, Ron DeSantis, Tulsi Gabbard, et. al., make that clear.
Godspeed to all of them. And
may God bless America.
