A recent letter opined that our economic growth over the past year was due, not to the election of President Trump but instead was simply a projection of the “trajectory” of the Obama administration. I had to laugh since the economy had flatlined during eight Obama years, with ZeroBama expectations of recovery. A projection of the Obama policies, i.e. another Clinton administration is simply a continuing coma perhaps leading to death, similar to the demise of the Soviet Union.
How successful Trump has been can be seen in how hard the establishment (Democrat and Republican and the propaganda arm of the Democrat party, the media) is working to promote a coup of this president. In my entire life I have never seen such a concerted effort to destroy a president, not even during the Nixon bashing. It makes me wonder what he might accomplish if he had the slightest modicum of cooperation from the crazies on the left.
Our economy is beginning to pick itself up off the ground, and with the tax bill, hopefully including the death of the Obamacare mandate (who thought it was a good idea to force Americans to buy insurance they didn’t want), I think we’ll see the patient come roaring back!
So lefties may mourn the loss of their budding Socialist/Marxist state but a lot of rational people see the Trump administration as our last best shot at draining an overpopulated swamp.
