Trump’s First 500 Days
Election Day 2016 the Dow was $19,123 and after Trump was declared the winner it began the greatest run-up ever to a high of $26,616 on 1/26/18. There was a correction, much exacerbated by media attacks and the phony Russia Collusion Investigation, but it’s rising again to $24,635 as of this writing. The Federal Debt is still growing, but the GDP growth has increased to over $20 Trillion so the ratio of Debt to GDP has been reduced slightly. Even with the much needed Tax Cuts, Federal tax revenues have increased due to more jobs, more people paying taxes, and increased economic activity. The Budget Deficit/GDP ratio has been reduced from 9.3% in 2010 to 3.8%, still way too high, but at least headed in the right direction. The Fe(de)ral Debt has actually gone DOWN $36 Billion in the last 2 months! Even with greater spending to rebuild and up-date our military, the Deficit Ratio is less than under Obama. Also the Fed Interest has gone up 1% since the election or about $200 Billion added to the Debt. (The Swamp kept it very low for 8 years of Obama. The GDP growth is expected to reach 4.8% in the Second Quarter. It was about 1.5% average for the Obama Administration, and the Media Pundits said it would never reach 3% again. Certainly not under Hillary or any Liberal Democrat.
Jobs are being created in record numbers. Unemployment is at record lows for Blacks, Hispanics, Women, & Teens, and overall less than 4%, a low rate only reached 7 times since the 1970s. This is creating records for Federal Tax Revenue collections, even with the Tax Cuts. Some 24,000 Federal jobs have been eliminated since President Trump took office, so the new jobs are Tax Payers, not Tax-consumers. Many business-strangling and anti-Property Rights Federal Regulations have been eliminated. The Keystone & Dakota pipelines were finally approved. US oil production is booming and we have become a Petroleum Exporter, instead of a hostage to our enemies. Consumer confidence is at a 17 year high as our economy rebounds from a decade of stagnation.
ISIS has been defeated in Syria and Iraq, less than 1000 fighters remain. We have withdrawn from the foolishness of the Paris Accords, and the Global Warming hysteria is abating as the “hot-cycle” of cyclical ‘Climate Change’ winds down into a moderate cooling phase. We are trying to control illegal immigration and the flood of “refugees” from countries that have people who hate us. Many Muslim countries are cracking down on violent radicals. Our President is rebuilding our industry by protecting necessary industries, bringing investment back here, and slowing terrible Trade Deficit agreements. This is causing great backlash from those that profit from cheap imports and cheap labor, but in the long run are necessary for our industry, wages, and economic security. North Korea is talking about nuclear disarmament and peace after almost 70 years of hostile secrecy. The farce of the Iran Nuclear Deal has been exposed and is over. Putin wants talks about peace and trade. If the Media and Democrats will shut up about “Russia, Russia, Russia”, it may be possible to normalize relations with them, we have similar goals in the War on Islamofascist Terror, and it is time to start cooperating on that.
Can you imagine how much real Progress could be made if the “Lib Progressives” cared enough about America and Americans to just listen to what is happening instead of “resisting” out of hand? Their “Agenda” failed, and they had a very poor candidate, so they lost. Get over it! Trump is trying to re-build America after the failure of all the International Socialist Theory failures.
The investigation by Congress is proving there was unlawful interference in the Trump Campaign by the Obama Administration. Unredacted Emails between Strzok and Lisa Page, “You get all our oconus lures approved? ;)”- ‘OConUS’ meaning “Outside Continental US” and ‘lures’ meaning “Spies and Agents Provocateurs”. This was in December 2015! They were already infiltrating the Trump Campaign to create some appearance of wrong doing, and had to get it “approved” at the highest levels! While their Propaganda Media was ridiculing Trump’s chances to even gain the GOP Nomination. From ‘Crossfire Hurricane’ to the GPS Fusion phony ‘Dossier’ to the lying FISA Warrant applications, and the $17 Million (so far) Mueller Investigation, this has been the worst illegal unConstitutional “Black-bag & False Flag Operation” political scandal in American history. Watergate was an amateurish joke compared to this continued attack by politicized Federal bureaucracies on an opposition candidate, and even a duly elected President! There was no “collusion” by the Trump Campaign, only by criminal Democrats, and the whole “Op” has accomplished nothing but to feed the “Assassination by Accusation and Innuendo Campaign” by the Lib/Prog Media Propaganda Machine. Hopefully, by the time this newspaper is distributed the DoJ Inspector General’s first report will be out and the indictments, arrests, and real investigations into the real criminals can commence.
