I think it quite reasonable to say that,
comparatively speaking, the easy part for Mr. Trump is now over. Because what lies ahead is likely to be far
more challenging than even he possibly ever imaged. But above all else he must remain true to
those, like myself, who saw something in him that made him worthy of our
support. President Trump will need to
very wary of those ‘Establishment’ Republicans in Congress who could choose to
take part in what would be a clandestine effort to slow, or even stop, his progress
forward. And he must ignore any calls to
be ‘reasonable’, to not push too hard, and any warnings to not force any particular
issue. But most importantly he should
shy away from calls to compromise with Democrats and any suggestions that maybe
he shouldn’t name one of the [Supreme Court] justices who are conservative
who’s on his list, but should, instead, maybe find a nice moderate acceptable
to the Democrats.
Because were he to venture down that road it would
be nothing short of a disaster, because it would be in very short order that he
would come to lose the support of those who made his election possible. And Mr. Trump, while experienced in the world
of business, remains very much of a novice in the world of politics. Those whom he places around him must make
sure that he remains vigilant when it comes to the many dangers he may come to
face from those ‘establishment’ types, dangers that will likely not come in the
form of any open fight, but will come much more covertly. The danger is that those enemies from within
will likely opt for honeyed words of subversion that undermines the entire
movement to make America great again.
And while Mr. Trump should be magnanimous and gracious toward those whom
he defeated this week, his first duty is to keep faith with those who put their
faith in him.
The many protests and riots together with the
violence that have attended his triumph in city after city should only serve to
steel his resolve. As for promptings
that he "reach out" and "reassure" those upset by his
victory, and trim or temper his agenda to pacify them, Trump should reject that
out of hand as being bad advice of the worst kind. This is nothing more than more of the same
old con. Trump should take as his models
the Democrats FDR and LBJ. Franklin
Roosevelt, who had savaged Herbert Hoover as a big spender, launched his own
New Deal in his first 100 days. History
now hails his initiative and resolve.
Lyndon Johnson exploited his landslide over Barry Goldwater in 1964 to
erect his Great Society in 1965: the Voting Rights Act, Medicare and
Medicaid. He compromised on nothing, and
got it all. And if it was good enough
for these Democrats then Mr. Trump should consider it as being good enough for
him.
Because the historic opportunity that he and the
Republican Party have now been given by his stunning and unanticipated victory
of November 8 will not last long. His
adversaries and enemies in politics and in the state-controlled media are only
temporarily dazed and reeling. They will
recover quickly. This opening should be
exploited now, President Trump must strike while the iron is hot. Few anticipated Tuesday morning what we would
have today: a decapitated Democrat Party, with the Obamas and Clintons gone or
going, taking ‘Slow Joe’ Biden with them, no national leader rising, and only
the power of obstruction, of which the nation has had enough. The Republican Party, however, on January 20,
will control both Houses of Congress and the White House, with there being the
real possibility of remaking the Supreme Court in the image of the late Justice
Antonin Scalia. And not a second should
be wasted. Time is far too precious.
And while Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and
House Speaker Paul Ryan have indicated they are willing to work with President
Trump, only time will tell if they are part of the team or nothing more than ‘establishment’
saboteurs only out for themselves.
Because knowing these two sleazy characters as I’m sure we all do, what
actions they actually take to either help or to hinder Mr. Trump will be far
more telling than any of the words they have uttered thus far. And I’m sure it won’t take very long before
we see whether they will prove to be men of their word, or will proved to be
nothing more than the gutless RINOs that history tells us is far more
likely. There is nothing to prevent the
new Republican Party from writing history but themselves. In his first few months in office, Trump
could very well put a seal on American politics as indelible as that left by
Ronald Reagan. But he must be up for the
challenges that lie ahead.
And here’s what really needs to happen, and right
out of the gate. On January 20, Mr.
Trump should have vetted and ready to nominate to the high court a brilliant
constitutionalist and strict constructionist.
He should act to end interference with the Dakota Access pipeline and
call on Congress to re-enact legislation, vetoed by Barry, to finish the
Keystone XL pipeline. Then he should
repeal all regulations put in place by Barry that unnecessarily restrict the
production of the oil, gas and clean coal necessary to make America energy
independent again. Folks in
Pennsylvania, southeast Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia should be shown, by
executive action, that Mr. Trump is a man of his word. And when the mines open again, he should be
there. He should order new actions to
seal the Southern border, start the wall and begin visible deportations of
felons who are in the country illegally.
And then, with a new education secretary, President
Trump should announce White House intent to work for repeal of Common Core and
announce the introduction of legislation to put federal resources behind the
charter schools that have proven to be a godsend to inner-city black
children. He should propose an immediate
tax cut for U.S. corporations, with $2 to $3 Trillion in unrepatriated profits
abroad, who will bring that money home and invest it in America, to the benefit
of our economy and our Treasury. He
should take the president's phone and pen and begin the rewriting, or complete
repeal, of every one of Barry’s executive orders that does not comport with the
national interest or political philosophy of the GOP. Mr. Trump should announce a date soon for
repeal and replacement of Obamacare and introduction of his new tax-and-trade
legislation to bring back manufacturing and create American jobs.
Mr. Trump said throughout his campaign that this
election was America's last chance. And
that if we were to lose this one, we would likely lose the country. And I very much agree with that sentiment, which
is how I came to be onboard ‘The Trump train’ in the first place. He has now been blessed with a very rare
opportunity and he must seize it. And as
our soon to be president he must ignore his more cautious counselors, and act
with the urgency of his declared beliefs.
His window of opportunity may be prove to be very brief, perhaps only
two years. He must support all who
supported him and forget those who did not, with no appeasement offered to the
liberal establishment. He should work
with those in the ‘Established Republicans’ who desire that same return to
responsible government and against those that want only to maintain the status
quo. He has a mandate from the people to
change our system for the better, and now he must act on it.
And what must always be kept at the forefront is the
fact that those on the left do not want unity, nor reconciliation, nor
healing. And I feel very confident in
saying that if we had been unfortunate enough to have had Hitlery win this most
crucial of elections, there would already be talk of hate speech laws, of
purging our voices from social media, of doxing and slandering political
opponents and thoroughly ruining their lives.
There would now be threats being made about taking our guns, about
further restricting our religious liberties, rewriting our Constitution by way
of judicial fiat and of ending the sovereignty of the United States by
Executive Decree. There would be talk
of creating new and improved ways to further regulate every aspect of our lives
into conformity and our businesses into oblivion and how best to increase the
flooding into our country of hostile aliens to ensure their perpetual
dominance. And that would just be the
first 100 days.
It would appear that the American people have now chosen to put the adults back in charge of the running of their government. While it remains far from certain, at least at this point in time, if that will come to pass, that was certainly their intent. And we can only hope that’s how things will come to play out. Hopefully this reemergence of a stronger and more viable right in this country will result in the repairing of at least some of the damage done by the left. But we must be wary because the left has but two plays. To try to shame you into virtue signaling and conceding to their agenda, or political violence. Now that the real right has come back, and will not virtue signal, we see the left, with their hate and violence, showing who they really are. They want to destroy us. We must not help them do it by yielding to weak calls for compromise. Destroy them now and salt the ground. For surely, if they ever win again, they will do exactly that to us.
