Calling 70-year-old Donald Trump’s first 100 days a disaster, the mainstream media continues its relentless attack on the 45th president, reporting only bad news. When Trump’s “repeal-and-replace” Obamacare failed in the House of March 24 the Democratic Party and liberal press had a field day, highlighting Trump’s failure. Repealing-and-replacing Obamacare was one of Trump’s biggest campaign promises, only to wind up for the moment in the dustbin of history. Democrats and the liberal press can’t fathom the fact that eventually the GOP would get on the same page, something now expected next week. Yet the glee with which Democrats and the press ripped the president can’t pass unnoticed. Democrats like to highlight Trump’s failures, especially his inability to get his travel ban when Seattle federal Judge James Robart issued Feb. 4 a Temporary Restraining Order.
Democrats and the liberal press howled in delight when Robart’s TRO was upheld Feb. 10 in the San Francisco-based 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Democrats and the press called Trump’s travel ban a ”Muslim ban,” citing Trump’s call Dec. 7, 2015 for a “total” ban on Muslims entering the U.S., unless they possess diplomatic immunity or legal U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement {ICE] documentation. Instead of seeing the wisdom of vetting waves of Mideast immigrants, Democrats and the press smeared Trump as a racist. Whether or not Trump’s call to limit Mideast immigration was struck down by a federal judge, it attempted to prevent terrorism from washing up on American streets. Democrats and the press gloat over Trump’s failed attempts to limit Mideast immigration, especially when Honolulu federal Judge Derrick Watson issued a second TRO.
When Trump approved the Keystone XL pipeline Feb 7 and Dakota Access pipeline March 24, he reversed former President Barack Obama’s pandering to extreme environmental groups. Despite the benefits of pipelines moving oil around the country without dirty pollution from diesel trucks, environmental groups cite the low incidence of pipeline leaks. Trump green-lighted both pipelines over objections from Democrats and extreme environmental groups. Democrats contend Trump has done next-to-nothing over his first 100 days yet he managed to place April 7 49-year-old Denver-based10th Circuit Court Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. More consequential to presidential legacy thant political decisions, Trump’s already left his mark on the Supreme Court, returning the Court’s conservative majority since Justice Antonin Scalia’s death Feb. 13, 2016.
Trump’s foreign policy accomplishments have already diverted attention from Democrats’ witch-hunt, accusing Trump of colluding with Russian President Vladimir Putin to beat former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton Nov. 8, 2016. Once Trump hit a Syria air base April 4 with Russian personnel present with 59 Cruise missiles, Democrats and the liberal press backed off their accusations of Trump’s collusion with Russia. Trump’s attack on the Syrian air field threw Democrats and their liberal press for a loop. When Trump struck Osama bin Laden’s Afghanistan cave complexes April 14 with a 10-ton MOAB bomb, he sent a loud message to North Korea’s 33-year-old erratic leader Kim Jong-un. Defying Trump’s promise to contain North Korea’s nuclear threat, Kim launched another medium-range missile today ratcheting up Trump’s military option.
Because the mainstream press reports that Trump has done nothing during the first hundred days, doesn’t mean it’s true. When you consider Trumps’s foreign policy moves and his recent attempts at tax and regulatory reform, it’s difficult to say Trump’s done nothing in the first 100 days. Democrats and the liberal press don’t like what Trump’a done but they can’t really argue he hasn’t done anything. Hillary’s been critical of Trump ‘s treatment of gay-and-lesbian issues, something so irrelevant, that it reveals the real reason why she lost the election, despite blaming FBI Director James Comey and the Russians. Hillary’s hyper-focus on minority and LGBT issues revealed why blue collar white voters abandoned the Democratic Party in droves. Former Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said he could of beaten Trump by appealing to working-class voters.
Trump’s first 100 days prove, if nothing else, that he’s not been derailed by a determined Democratic effort to tie him to Russia. When he bombed Syria April 4, the country shifted away from popular Democratic conspiracy theories. Trump now finds himself much like former President Barack Obama in Syria, warning North Korea to stop launching ballistic missiles and detonating nuclear bombs. With Kim Jong-un thumbing his nose at Trump, the president has few good options left in North Korea. Six-way diplomacy to get North Korea to stop developing nuclear bombs and ballistic missiles failed during the Bush-43 White House. Leaning heavily on China hasn’t stopped Kim from detonating nukes and launching missiles. When you consider all that’s happened in Trump’s first 100 days, it’s a beehive of foreign and domestic policy, hardly the failure seen by Democrats and the press.
