Time for some more angst for Democrats and other assorted leftists!

President Trump was confronted with massive resistance to his presidency that commenced even before he was inaugurated on 20 January 2017 – from the Democrat Party, their legacy media allies, NeverTrump RINOs and conservative intelligentsia, the Deep State, Hollywood, Academia, leftwing non-profit organizations, foreign governments and their media, and deep-pocket leftwing donors. All of these people have relentlessly fought tooth and nail against his policies and in many cases to facilitate his impeachment and removal from office.

Fortunately for us, the President is one of the first Republicans in the Oval Office to have an effective strategy to fight back against the horde. Despite the resistance, he has delivered BIGLY on his campaign promises to the extent that he has been able to move public opinion and control events. Here is a list of some of those accomplishments as cited in his letter to Nancy Pelosi before the Democrats voted to impeach him.

You and your party are desperate to distract from America’s extraordinary economy, incredible jobs boom, record stock market, soaring confidence, and flourishing citizens.  Your party simply cannot compete with our record: 7 million new jobs; the lowest-ever unemployment for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans; a rebuilt military; a completely reformed VA with Choice and Accountability for our great veterans; more than 170 new federal judges and two Supreme Court Justices; historic tax and regulation cuts; the elimination of the individual mandate; the first decline in prescription drug prices in half a century; the first new branch of the United States Military since 1947, the Space Force; strong protection of the Second Amendment; criminal justice reform; a defeated ISIS caliphate and the killing of the world’s number one terrorist leader, al-Baghdadi; the replacement of the disastrous NAFTA trade deal with the wonderful USMCA (Mexico and Canada); a breakthrough Phase One trade deal with China; massive new trade deals with Japan and South Korea; withdrawal from the terrible Iran Nuclear Deal; cancellation of the unfair and costly Paris Climate Accord; becoming the world’s top energy producer; recognition of Israel’s capital, opening the American Embassy in Jerusalem, and recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights; a colossal reduction in illegal border crossings, the ending of Catch-and-Release, and the building of the Southern Border Wall—and that is just the beginning, there is so much more.  You cannot defend your extreme policies—open borders, mass migration, high crime, crippling taxes, socialized healthcare, destruction of American energy, late-term taxpayer-funded abortion, elimination of the Second Amendment, radical far-left theories of law and justice, and constant partisan obstruction of both common sense and common good.

An amazing list, isn’t it? Just imagine what he would have been able to accomplish had he had just a scintilla of cooperation from the Democrat Party and even-handed reporting on his presidency by the legacy media! Those who argue endlessly that he’s “only in it for personal gain” are fools and worse.

Cue the exploding heads: as an optimistic sort, I predict that not only will he be reelected in a landslide next November, but Republicans will regain control of the House of Representatives. And that will set the table for a golden era of conservative policy implementation, the likes of which the country has never seen before. Here is a second-term manifesto of potential policy actions in no particular order:

• One maybe two US Supreme Court justices. Cementing conservative control of the USSC for a generation, with a majority that will potentially re-litigate Roe v. Wade and return regulation of abortion to the states. Oh, and a passel of new district and circuit court judges, too.
• Completion of the Wall. And not just the physical wall but also a revamping of US immigration laws, including strict enforcement in order to completely shut down illegal immigration, as well drug and human trafficking across the Southern Border.
• Completion of the China trade deal. Continuing re-patriation of overseas investments ($1 trillion so far) plus resetting trade relations with China will bolster US manufacturing and jobs while curtailing the hemorrhaging of US technology and intellectual property. And throw in a trade deal with the UK after Brexit is implemented.
• Obamacare replacement. Opening the door for conservative alternatives that have been held up by Democrat resistance for years, including insurance portability across state lines, letting states review their health care regulations and pursue innovative ways to make coverage more affordable and accessible, and implementing free market solutions to lower costs.
• Executive Order on American history textbooks. With Common Core no longer subsidized by the feds, it’s time to get revisionist and Marxist-oriented American history textbooks out of the public school system. Oh, and get rid of the global warming alarmist nonsense from those textbooks, too.
• Repeal of the Patriot Act. With revelations of rampant FISA abuse by the FBI, it’s time to restore 4^th Amendment protections against illegal search and surveillance by repealing this overreach of the federal government.
• Decentralization and downsizing federal agencies. Call this one the “Drain the Swamp Act.” Use the decentralization of federal agencies – moving them out of the DC area – as a mechanism for also greatly downsizing them. Include civil service reforms to expedite firing of people with overt political biases, as well as poor performance.
• Executive Order on Two Sexes. Time to reaffirm basic human biology and stop the gender-blurring cultural Marxism in its tracks by mandating the distinction and use of two sexes in all federal government forms, transactions, websites, and training materials.
• Executive Order on Tort Reform. As a first step toward congressional legislation, a signed EO for tort reform for all interstate commerce-related activities that would survive any constitutional challenge. Healthcare-related tort reform could include concepts such as caps on noneconomic damage, health courts to replace judge/jury adjudication of claims, and movement toward a no-fault system of insurance.
• Reduction in overseas military deployments. A complete reassessment of national security policy that reduces US military deployments around the world is in order. Substantial reduction in forces deployed to the Middle East region for starters.
• Federal corruption law revisions and enforcement. Equal justice under the law and due process to be restored as normal modus operandi for all law enforcement entities throughout the land.
• Executive Order on Lobbying. As a first step toward federal legislation, a signed EO precluding federal lobbying by former federal bureaucrats, congressional staff, political appointees, and elected representatives and senators for 10 years after they leave the federal government.
• Executive Order on Use of English. A mandate for the use of English on all federal government forms, transactions, websites, and training materials. A first step toward legislation that reinforces assimilation of all legal immigrants.
• Executive Order on US Elections. Initial focus is on removal of all foreign money from US elections, including prohibiting the laundering of foreign money through all non-profit foundations. A first step toward legislation that includes strict disclosure, monitoring, and enforcement requirements.

The aforementioned is just a starter list for President Trump’s second term. What would you add to it?

The end.
