RECOGNIZING THE TRUMP REVOLUTION 

The media relentlessly  hammer our 45th President without restraint or journalistic propriety.   Offending logic and rational thought, they claim to find absolutely nothing positive in any aspect of  the Trump administration, only the negative.   But the truth is more complex and it always  wins out in the end. I predict  history  will be much more kind to this President  An unprejudiced eye should be able to record  the errors as well as the the  accomplishments of this businessman turned politician.  One thing even the biased press does posit is that the nation will not be the same after he leaves.

What is a more equitable view of Trump accomplishments? Read on. 

1. His policy of America first exposed fat, wealthy NATO countries which fail to pay their fair share of defense spending. They put their defense burden on the tax-paying citizens of the USA while they shower their own citizens with benefits Americans can only dream of. 
2. Trump used his Twitter account to take on a biased and agenda driven US journalism which he exposed as untrustworthy to report the events of the day.
3. President Trump (unlike his predecessors)  has closely hewed to the promises he made on the campaign trail whether it was moving the US embassy or pulling out of the Paris climate agreement. 
4. He exposed the existential threat of unregulated immigration along our southern border. 
5. Trump exposed the corruption and bias in Washington DC and more specifically, corruption and malfeasance in the highest levels of the Justice Department and FBI where unelected top echelon bureaucrats  attempted a palace coup to unseat a legitimately and democratically elected President.  These elites, thinking  they knew better than the 63 million Trump voters scattered over thirty of our fifty states attempted to abrogate the choice of half the voting citizenry. 
6. Faced with a threatening North Korea...President Trump acted to bully, cajole and finally to actually negotiate with the North Korean leader.  No one accomplished that before.  I
7. Trump became the voice of the forgotten middle class workers of the Rust Belt who were ignored by both Republicans and Democrats. 
8. He first loaded up his cabinet with military men, but unlike the majority of his predecessors (except JFK) who slavishly followed the recommendations of military advisers — often into disaster—President Trump has learned to ignore the advice of the hardline “warriors” in his cabinet. He has wisely acted  to pull troops out of Syria end the interminable, expensive and often counter-productive wars our military brass have found  so attractive to pursue over the last half a century.
9. He created 3 million new jobs, and lowered unemployment down to a nearly unprecedented 3.9 % 
10. Helped generate a roaring economy with his tax cuts
11. Managed to put two new justices on the Supreme Court who favor his agenda.
12. He began a process of renegotiating trade deals to benefit the US worker. 
13. He exposed China as a threat to US trade, and (rather than Russia) scored that nation as a greater threat to US interests. 
14. President Trump has exposed the evil and power of the Washington establishment and the  “deep state”  and how it exists to further its own self-interest rather than serving the interests of the electorate and nation. 

It’s time we  begin to think of OUR  nation as a whole and to preserving the legitimacy of our elections and our democratic process, rather than the self-serving political agenda of the left .  It’s time to  give  credit for these accomplishments which have gone unrecognized by our hate-filled, politicized  media.
