Mark Caserta: Free State Patriot editor
After eight agonizing years of socialist, liberal policies nearly sending our country into a progressive death spiral, our nation finally has a president committed to winning with “America first” policies.
Despite the obsessive liberal lamenting and the media magnification of every single misstep by this “politically incorrect” administration, President Trump has kept his eye on the prize when it comes to delivering on promises to the American people, even saddled with a crippling Congress.
It’s very telling that progressives are determined to focus on everything but the significant strides the Trump presidency has made in eight short months.
A huge portion of Trump’s campaign centered on addressing illegal immigration. Per a May column in The Washington Times, by Stephen Dinan and Andrea Nobel, illegal immigration is down an amazing 76 percent since President Trump was elected. Based on reports from the Department of Homeland Security, the flow of illegals continues to drop as changes in enforcement policy deter people from attempting to illegally cross the border.
President Trump also ran on creating jobs. Per a July column in CNN Money, employers added 863,000 new jobs during Donald Trump’s first five full months in office. While the president acknowledges too many people are still out of the labor force and not properly factored, unemployment is declining. Business owners simply feel more confident about expanding their workforce under employer-friendly policies.
The president also talked tough on trade during his campaign. His executive order withdrawing the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade deal was a major step in delivering on his promise to level the playing field.
“We’re going to stop the ridiculous trade deals that have taken everybody out of our country and taken companies out of our country and it’s going to be reversed,” Trump told a group of labor leaders in January. “Companies that left are going to come back to our country, and they’re going to hire a lot of people.”
In agreement with many experts who felt it was too costly and ineffective in addressing climate change, the president decisively pulled the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement. The deal would destroy hundreds of thousands of jobs, harm American manufacturing and destroy $2.5 trillion in gross domestic product by the year 2035, per The Heritage Foundation.
Trump’s list of wins is lengthy and irrefutable. The stock market is at a record high. Our military is regaining its power and resolve. We have another conservative on the Supreme Court, with possibly more to come. And President Trump will be relentless in delivering on the repeal and replacement of Obamacare and a wall along the southern border.
Perhaps the most important win is that patriots once again feel good about the direction of our nation. Anyone paying attention can see beyond the misdirection of the polls and the hypocrisy of the left. We see wins!
So, Mr. President, please stay focused on delivering on your promises to the American people. Do not succumb to the liberal distractions.
Continued winning on behalf of Americans will make the liberal crusade to destroy you irrelevant.
