The unstoppable Trump train
Delivering on his promises, decimating the opposition
By Joan Swirsky
Hard to know which body is held in lower esteem, Congress or the media. But for a long time, the media thought they were invincible, based largely on their success after forming the JournOlist in
2007 – a cabal of 400 leftists who vowed to destroy anyone who said a single bad word about the poseur "president" Barack Obama.
When said poseur denied his lifelong friendships and political associations with fulminating anti-Semites, enacted the disaster of socialized medicine and socialized public education, eviscerated our military, doubled the national debt, signed a deal with genocidal Iran, and sang the praises of peaceful lslam as dozens of horrific Muslim terrorist attacks around the world attested to a decidedly sub-human species, JournOlist went into action to squash his critics like they were so many pesky cockroaches.
COLLUSION 101
The JournOlist's goal last year was to insure that the, ahem, legacy of the poseur would be continued by another globalist shill, Hillary Clinton, who shamelessly extorted massive "donations" from foreign government leaders and tin-pot dictators alike to fill the coffers of the Clinton Foundation, a slush fund of undisguised bribes and payoffs designed to insure access to power. Curious that this windfall completely dried up the day after Nov. 8, 2016.
Not that anyone liked Hillary or could stop themselves from cringing as she bobbled her head, affected a southern accent in front of black audiences, and lied through her teeth at every turn.
No, to the real powers-that-be on the Council of Foreign Relations, behind the International Monetary Fund, in the cesspool known as the United Nations, and among the big-money guys on Wall St. who actually buy our politicians and so run our country, Hillary was yet another Barack Obama, an easy-to-manipulate functionary, a front person to do their bidding and move them closer to the One World Government – and total power and control – they all crave.
And why do they crave such immense power? Partly for the accumulation of even greater wealth – my bank account is bigger than yours! – but also because they genuinely believe that they are immeasurably smarter than the masses and so exquisitely suited to call all the shots about everything to do with human existence from cradle to grave.
UH OH – MEGALOMANIUS INTERRUPTUS
After nearly one hundred years of planning and plotting their takeover of the Democratic Republic of big bad capitalist America, the socialists and communists and jihadists among us – who under Obama, frighteningly, were implanted in the highest positions in virtually all departments of our government, hence the avalanche of leaks – were caught off guard when along came a genuinely unanticipated wild card into the presidential race of 2015-16, billionaire businessman and successful TV personality Donald J. Trump.
Everyone witnessed the patronizing and supercilious snickering of fake journalists like ABC-TV's George Stephanopoulos, MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Greenspan, CBS-TV's Scott Pelley, NBC-TV's Chuck Todd, everyone at CNN, starting with its president Jeff Zucker, at the prospect of a Donald J. Trump candidacy.
Everyone – except for us Trump believers – watched and believed all the pollsters, every single one of them, predict not a mere Hillary win, but a resounding victory, right up until 8 p.m. on the night of the vote.
And, of course, everyone remembers that in spite of all the billions spent on Hillary's candidacy, in spite of every [inaccurate] poll, in spite of a Democrat Party that over decades has become expert at rigging elections, and especially in spite of the rancid collusion of the media in predicting her win, the American people had another idea.
Not since we peasants rose up between 1775 and 1783 to defeat the Crown of England under the leadership of General George Washington has an electorate been so inflamed and passionate and ideologically driven as in the election of Donald Trump on November 8, 2016.
Our message was clear: We hate the Communism and Socialism and Jihadism that has contaminated our body politic, and we love American patriotism and capitalism and a strong military and the man who is saying "Make America Great Again!"
HYSTERICS
Throughout American history, both on a national, state, and local level, contentious elections have been won and lost by a hair. Sometimes there is a lengthy recount, as in Bush v. Gore in 2000. Sometimes there is litigation, usually to no avail. But there has never been anything like the massive leftist meltdown after Donald Trump walloped Hillary in the Electoral College and won the presidency.
To this day, the hysterics go on. Why is that?
It is because President Trump's victory was a total, complete, comprehensive, and devastating repudiation of everything Barack Obama and the left stood for, but more important, what his handlers and billionaire world-globalists and the leftist media moguls stood for, and, of course, what Democrats and Republicans In Name Only (RINOs) stood for.
According to Wayne Allen Root, in discussing the recently failed Obamacare repeal vote – but this applies generally – "the senators who voted against the repeal are corrupted, bribed, on the take. Senators and Congressmen are making an unimaginable fortune off of Obamacare. That's why they are against the repeal. They don't want to end the gravy train. They want the system complex and expensive. They want government involved. They want taxpayer money wasted by the billions. That's how they milk the system. They all own stocks of medical companies, health insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies. I'm betting many actually own companies with government contracts that benefit from Obamacare. They put them in the names of their spouses, children, parents, siblings, childhood buddies. They own them in offshore accounts. The conflicts of interest are the size of Texas."
There you have it. But candidate Trump took a machete to the entirely crooked, corrupt, self-serving, back-slapping, vote-rigging system that has been running our country and economy and foreign policy and independence into the ground for the past at-least 75 years.
It's as if someone showed up at your door and told you that everything about your life, your values, your beliefs, even the furnishings in your home, was meaningless and disposable.
"But I've lived here for 50 years!" you may protest. "This is who I am, what I've worked for, my belief system, my identity!"
"Tough," the person at your door says. "You have bad values, warped beliefs, shabby furnishings, a malevolent identity, and you're a crook – and I am here to wipe you out, and everything you stand for! And by the way, I'm also going to expose all your dirty laundry, your crimes, and the criminals who aided and abetted you along the way."
That is what we are witnessing today. Thankfully, President Trump is still the smartest guy in the room and fully up to dealing with the sewer rats who are spending every day and night trying to undermine him.
NO UNDERMINING THESE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
In mid-May, I wrote an article entitled The Juggernaut & the Jerks, which spelled out the stupendous accomplishments of President Donald Trump in his first three months in office. The response was tremendous, many people thanking me for bringing to their attention hundreds of the president's achievements they had never heard of or read about or seen on TV. They agreed with my description of the president as a virtually unstoppable juggernaut and that members of the media were indeed a bunch of jerks.
Well, whaddaya know? Plus ça change, plus la même chose! Now that the juggernaut president has just passed his 200th day in office, he is still going at warp speed in chalking up significant accomplishments and, at the same time, draining both the national and international swamplands that have contaminated our politics for decades, and the media are still spewing out fake news and fake polls in their desperate but impotent attempts to derail the unstoppable Trump Train.
Here is an impressive – but not comprehensive – list of President Trump's accomplishments in his second three (almost four) months in office:
The staged protests we're witnessing, even as I type, are funded by the same globalists who embrace capitalism with a passion – hence their billions – and live in dazzling splendor and luxury. But they sucker astoundingly gullible leftists into believing they are for "the little man" who needs Big Government to survive, and they pay them to hold up shiny new placards and protest a president who is actually – empirically – bringing jobs and safety and fair trade and border security and respect for our veterans and genuine equality back to America.
If leftists can't get on board with this agenda, I quote President Trump when he says: "Sad."

The response was tremendous, many people thanking me for bringing to their attention hundreds of the president's achievements they had never heard of or read about or seen on TV. They agreed with my description of the president as a virtually unstoppable juggernaut and that members of the media were indeed a bunch of jerks.
Well, whaddaya know? Plus ça change, plus la même chose! Now that the juggernaut president has just passed his 200th day in office, he is still going at warp speed in chalking up significant accomplishments and, at the same time, draining both the national and international swamplands that have contaminated our politics for decades, and the media are still spewing out fake news and fake polls in their desperate but impotent attempts to derail the unstoppable Trump Train.
Here is an impressive – but not comprehensive – list of President Trump's accomplishments in his second three (almost four) months in office:- The president traveled to Saudi Arabia (where he demanded that the Arab world do its share to stop terrorism); Israel (where he was the first U.S. president to
visit the Western Wall); and the Vatican. He also traveled to Warsaw, Poland where he spoke proudly and passionately about the virtues of western civilization.
- In the Trump White House, there are 110 fewer employees on staff than under Obama, to the tune of $5.1 million in savings: currently, five staffers for Melania
Trump vs. 24 staffers for Michelle Obama.
- The president donated his first-quarter salary of approx. $78,000 to the National Parks Service.
The president also did the following:

- Signed Executive Orders –
- to "Buy American and Hire American" and to make it easier for businesses to start and expand apprenticeship programs;
- to mandate that for every one new regulation, two old regulations must be eliminated, which can potentially reduce costs by $70 billion, according to The
American Action Forum;
- to control regulatory costs that will dramatically reduce permit approvals for projects from 10 years to 2 years, spurring investment and job creation.
- to "Buy American and Hire American" and to make it easier for businesses to start and expand apprenticeship programs;

$3 trillion, and lost 6.5 million industrial-sector American jobs and 3.1 million manufacturing-sector jobs.
- The president increased exports of our energy resources to a global market, updated guidance from the Treasury Department to allow the United States to
export coal, and expedited the permitting and approval processes of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminals and exports, including the approval of the Lake Charles

approved the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, creating over 42,000 jobs and $2 billion in earnings.
- He signed Executive Orders mandating (1) future pipeline work to be done by American workers and with American steel, and he expedited new pipeline
approval and production, such as the New Burgos Pipeline to Mexico, and (2) the extension of offshore oil and gas drilling, and he reissued a leasing program to
develop offshore resources.
- The president also boosted oil and gas development on federal lands.
- Now, President Trump is reconsidering the Obama-era Environmental Protection Agency rule on greenhouse gas emissions that is estimated to cost oil and
natural gas operators as much as $530 million annually.
- President Trump rolled back Obama's "Stream Protection Rule," which targeted the beleaguered coal industry with estimated costs of at least $81 million a year.
- He also withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which failed to protect American workers, and he promised to renegotiate the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) to better reflect our modern economy while benefiting all parties involved.
- The president began the process of renegotiating the United States-Korea Free Trade Agreement. In addition, negotiations started with China on economic
cooperation have already produced results for American businesses. For the first time in 14 years, American beef imports have returned to China, and China is now
welcome to negotiate contracts to import American liquefied natural gas.

The president instituted tough immigration policies that have reduced illegal border crossings by 53 percent compared to the same time last year.
- President Trump ordered the hiring of 10,000 new Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, including 5,000 additional border patrol agents. Within
the first 100 days, ICE conducted nearly 40 percent more Enforcement and Removal Operations compared to the same time last year, and arrests of convicted
criminal aliens climbed by nearly 20 percent in this time compared to the same time last year. In fiscal year 2017, ICE has removed over 2,700 criminal gang

- The president ordered the Department of Homeland Security to use $100 million of unspent appropriations in its account for border security, fencing, and
infrastructure.

effort to restore integrity and accountability to a department charged with supporting our nation's heroes.
- President Trump signed the Veterans Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act, enabling senior Veterans Affairs officials to fire failing employees while
establishing important safeguards to protect whistleblowers.
- The president is now starting the process of shifting veterans' electronic medical records to the same system used by the Defense Department, ending a
decades-old rift in sharing information between the two agencies.

medical care outside the government system.
- President Trump brokered a ceasefire in southwest Syria as part of the U.S. commitment to end the conflict, reduce human suffering, and defeat ISIS.
- He supported the opening of a new "Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology" in Saudi Arabia, created to empower Muslim-majority countries to more
effectively combat radicalization.
- The president increased pressure on Iran to end its destructive and destabilizing actions in the Middle East, including its continued ballistic missile research:
- The Department of the Treasury sanctioned over 25 entities and individuals involved in Iran's ballistic missile program, ensuring our ability to monitor potentially
malicious actors while preventing future acts of terrorism.

demonstrating our national commitment to preventing further atrocities.
- President Trump has lifted restrictions that had prevented the Secretary of Defense and our commanders in the field from fully using their judgment and
expertise.

other day it closed at over 22,000).
- The S&P 500 and the NASDAQ have both set new all-time highs during this period: the U.S. Stock Market gained $4 trillion in wealth since Trump was elected
and the S&P 500 also broke $20 Trillion for the first time in its history.
- According to Bloomberg News, U.S. corporate profits in the second quarter "have beaten estimates at more than three-quarters of the Standard & Poor's 500
member companies. In every sector, at least half of the companies have surpassed or met expectations, with many also getting a boost from a sinking U.S. dollar."
- U.S. debt has decreased under President Trump since his inauguration by (-$103) billion. (President Obama increased the U.S. debt in his first 6 months more
than $974 billion or nearly $1 trillion.)
- According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, President Trump added a projected 1,027,000 jobs in his first six months (January through June 2017.) President
Obama on the other hand lost more than 3,826,000 million jobs in his first six months.
- Also according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate since President Trump's inauguration decreased from 4.8% to 4.4% (January through

once in Obama's 8 Years prior to the increase after President Trump's winning the election in November.
- Illegal immigration is down almost 70% under President Trump.
- Since President Trump took office in January 2017, according to the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) statistics on food stamp enrollment, more
than 1.1 million Americans dropped off the food stamp rolls.
NATO announced Allied spending is up $10 billion because of President Trump.
- After being nominated by President Trump, constitutionalist judge Neil Gorsuch was confirmed and sworn in as Supreme Court Justice in early April.
- The president has signed around 150 executive orders, memoranda, and proclamations as of July 19th, including (to name but a few): dismantling Obama's
climate change initiatives; travel bans for individuals from a select number of countries embroiled in terrorist atrocities; enforcing regulatory reform; protecting law
enforcement; rebuilding the military; cutting funding for sanctuary cities.
- President Trump launched his Voter Fraud Commission, officially the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity.
- President Trump announced on Twitter on July 26: "After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States
Government will not accept or allow Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military."
- President Trump continued to shut Democrats out in special elections, which the media expected them to win on a supposed wave of anti-Trump sentiment. In
Montana, Republican Greg Gianforte won even after being arrested just before the election for assaulting a Guardian reporter; and in Georgia, Karen Handel won the most
expensive congressional race in history after her Democratic challenger, Jon Ossoff, had looked like a heavy favorite just days before.
- Last week, President Trump joined Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and David Perdue (R-Ga.) to announce legislation about changes to our immigration laws for the
first time in more than half a century. The RAISE Act (Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment), instead of admitting immigrants on the
basis of often specious "family" ties, would choose the immigrants based on merit, with points granted for skills, English proficiency, advanced degrees, actual job
offers, et al.
- About 30 percent of the territory the American-led coalition has retaken from the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) in Iraq and Syria since 2014 has been liberated under
U.S. President Donald Trump's watch, according to a senior State Department official. In total, the U.S.-led coalition has re-conquered 27,000 square miles (about
78 percent) of the 35,000 square miles ISIS is believed to have controlled at its peak in Iraq and Syria in early 2015.
- According to writer Larry Schweikart, President Trump "is advancing his Greatness Agenda through court appointments like wildfire." To date, he "has outpaced
Barack Obama and Bill Clinton with his judicial appointees."
- President Trump signed a bill into law to reduce the backlog of families of fallen police officers waiting to receive benefits due to their status.
- Under President Trump, Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinded an Obama Administration memo that directed the Bureau of Prisons to begin phasing out
private prisons.
- Again, under President Trump, the Justice Department prosecuted two doctors and one other person for the subhuman practice of female genital mutilation
– the first such prosecutions under a federal law passed by Congress in 1996 prohibiting the practice.
- Despite historic Democrat obstructionism, President Trump has worked with Congress to pass more legislation in his first 100 days than any President since
Truman!
- In June, the Trump Administration sent 20 ATF agents to Chicago to help the city fight gun violence. The local U.S. Attorney said the same day that his office
had already prosecuted more Chicago gun cases in 2017 than it had done throughout the entire 2016.
- President Trump, in "another critical step to restoring local control," signed an Executive Order for Secretary of Education Betsy De Vos to review Department of
Education regulations, with the intention of returning power to the states and local governments and to review, modify, and possibly repeal any regulations and
guidelines that are not consistent with federal law.
The staged protests we're witnessing, even as I type, are funded by the same globalists who embrace capitalism with a passion – hence their billions – and live in dazzling splendor and luxury. But they sucker astoundingly gullible leftists into believing they are for "the little man" who needs Big Government to survive, and they pay them to hold up shiny new placards and protest a president who is actually – empirically – bringing jobs and safety and fair trade and border security and respect for our veterans and genuine equality back to America.
If leftists can't get on board with this agenda, I quote President Trump when he says: "Sad."
