65% of President Trump’s promises have been kept in his first year. Unheard of. Second poll just out concurs with the 1st one. He is now at 50% approval. Workers are thrilled with not just bonus’s, but raises in pay as well. Companies are returning to the USA. Unemployment heading towards an all time low. Remember ISIS? Remember how concerned the public felt with the endless daily news reports? Regular beheadings on TV. Virtually wiped out now. Their calafate down to almost nothing. Reduced to more guerilla type events. Fourth quarter Gross Domestic Product, GDP, over 3%. Obama couldn’t come close. Not to forget he had it in for business…Israel as well. Business is booming. Public optimism soaring . President Trump might as well announce he will run for reelection. He did Tuesday.
Wednesday President Trump met with leading members of the House and Senate from BOTH Parties. Televised again. All cable news networks carried it. The subject was what to do with the school killing massacres. He leads it, but everyone has a say. He gets verbal commitments on a bill with balance from both Parties. He seated Senator Diane Feinstein next to him. Smart. Gains her favor and hopefully support from her in the Senate. She is way down in California primary polls. He gives his opinion but deference to all who speak. And they do. At the end he summarizes and points direction of legislation.
What we are getting from Trump is something we have not seen in the White House since Ronald Reagan. LEADERSHIP. With all his faults…his foibles…his terrible press…his nuttiness…he is sorting out major issues. Taking action. It puts everyone on permanent record for all to see. Less nonsense from opposition when push comes to shove later. Obviously, the President is growing into his job. These sessions are a brilliant stroke.
When anyone watches CNN, MSNBC (who has passed CNN in the ratings war that still shows Fox News with more than double their ratings) and the three nightly newscasts, there is a superficial quality in their coverage of President Trump. Instead of issues, or heaven forbid for them to report actual good things happening, they concentrate on personal attacks. Massive tendency to maximize petty distracting issues. Maybe it’s Trump misspelling a word in a tweet. Or, Melania not dressed properly. Jacksjargon loves to see Melania no matter how she is dressed. Or does the President’s son-in-law have full security clearance for top secret info. Who cares? You will never know Trump cut one and a half billion dollars from Boeing’s original price for new Air Force One planes badly needed. The President holding televised meetings with relatives who lost loved ones in schools. 35 Governors free to speak on what they propose to cut school shootings. These are events hard for the networks to hide and Joe Sixpack can easily understand.
A final note. Trump may have spoken too soon on praising Robert Mueller’s Special Counsel. The Russia thing was/is a hoax. No evidence in 15 months of searching. But, rest assured Mueller will come forth with something significant against the President. Perhaps it is why they came forward with good news for him. Softening things up to offer credibility when blows land later. More on this in the coming blog. Battles to come. But, the President isn’t going anywhere. He will serve out his term come what may.
Plus, growing chances he will serve a second term. The public is beginning to notice. That’s far more important than the media Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Stand by for why he will overcome what his haters want to do to him. Jacksjargon.com
