"Why didn’t any other U.S. President ever try this before?" Because their names were Johnson, Ford, Carter, Bush x 2, Clinton, Obama & Biden; 8 x 0 = 0
I cut Kennedy, Nixon & Reagan some slack but they could have done more.

Whenever someone complains to me about Trump going too fast, or ‘using a sledgehammer instead of a scalpel’ I remind them that these things have needed to be done for at least 30 years. Any President could have chosen to improve the border/economy/tariffs/health, etc in their own way, BUT THEY DIDN’T. So at least we have someone who is trying to right the ship. They need to stop complaining and give his policies a chance to work.
I did say ‘at least’. It depends on your age, it seems. I think all the problems started in the 60s, but my dad, who turns 93 this month, swears it started with Woodrow Wilson in 1913. Still, my point stands.
Your Dad is right. That’s when the Federal (I isn’t) Reserve (it isn’t) Bank (it isn’t) was started. That’s when the Big Long Heist of taxpayer money began.
He’s great. Lots of orthopedic issues but sharp as a tack mentally. And he loves politics and political history. Fascinating conversations. I’m so lucky to still have him.
Your dad is exactly right. And this is because he knows the history - due to his age if nothing else. For the most part, Americans are woefully ignorant of history.
1913:
...The Seventeenth Amendment (direct election of Senators - the final act of centralizing power in the Federal Gov't and gutting the Constitutional protection of the Sovereign States which began with Lincoln's War of Northern Aggression in 1861)
...The Federal Reserve Act signed into law by Pres Wilson which enslaved America to the international banking debt system
...The Sixteenth Amendment (income tax) which put the shackles of debt slavery upon each and every American in servitude to the international banking system.
I wondered at Melania’s outfit at inauguration. It seemed very severe. At first it reminded me of an English schoolgirl’s outfit, ala’ Matilda. I loved her pale blue outfit and smiling face from the first inauguration, for which she was butchered in the press. Her face never smiled at this inauguration and the hat hid her beautiful eyes. She was wearing a military uniform, ready for battle! Well thought out.
Agree but I think the overriding motif was that of a Funeral Dress. The Inauguration was a funeral, the burial of the Biden Regime. Barron's whispered message to Biden is indicative of this. When Barron returned to his seat and whispered what he did to his mom, she smiled. That was the only time I saw her smile.
Clinton sent jobs and factories offshore. That’s why we have to import so much.
China didn’t hold a gun to our heads to offshore jobs. The American industries did that. It’s their fault that we have a trade deficit. Richard Wolf explains at around 10 minutes in.

You mean 60 years.... there, fixed it.

The older I get the clearer it becomes that this has been going on since 1913, before my parents were born.
My father was born in 1913.
Your Dad is right. That’s when the Federal (I isn’t) Reserve (it isn’t) Bank (it isn’t) was started. That’s when the Big Long Heist of taxpayer money began.
Exactly. Well stated.
your Dad is 100% spot on. God bless him.
He’s great. Lots of orthopedic issues but sharp as a tack mentally. And he loves politics and political history. Fascinating conversations. I’m so lucky to still have him.
your dad is right on this one.

It has to happen fast he only has 4 yrs. Maybe even only 2 if those that voted him in defect in 2026. Horrors! We don't need a repeat of Trump 1.0.

It was very V for vendetta you ask me.
The look of a woman who had her underwear drawer rummaged by the FBI.
yes, she never smiled this time. warriors have no time for pleasantries.

Clint Eastwood came to my mind....😉

I don’t mean to spam comments with this link, but it’s fantastic to understand what is happening.
Yes, and Trump could’ve done some of this in his first term, too.
It felt like Trump was battling the cockroaches his entire first term. I'm still amazed at how much he WAS able to accomplish.
