The First 100 Days

Posted on by

On Monday, Breitbart posted an interview of Hugh Hewitt on the subject of President Trump’s first 100 days. Hugh Hewitt is a Salem Radio Network host. He is also a lawyer a former official in the Reagan administration, the former president and CEO of the Richard Nixon Foundation, a law professor at Chapman University School of Law, a former columnist for The Washington Post, and a regular political commentator on Fox News.

The article reports:

As April 30 approaches — the date that marks President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office — establishment media conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt sat down with PragerU CEO Marissa Streit to examine the start of the president’s second term, noting that he is “amused by the people who say [Trump] is reckless,” given that in reality, the president is “determined” to reestablish basic concepts of the U.S. Constitution that have been “abandoned” by the left.

“I am amused by the people who say he’s reckless,” Hewitt said told Streit, adding, “He is determined to force through the courts challenges to the basic structure of the constitution that were abandoned in the progressive era and then left far behind during the New Deal.”

“The three great expansions of the government occurs with Woodrow Wilson, FDR, and LBJ,” Hewitt explained. “That’s 100 years of growth, and 100 years of abusing the original design of the constitution, which is small, limited, enumerated powers.”

“To get that back, [President Trump]’s launched a thousand ships,” he added. “Even if ten of them make it to the other side, we’ll be in a much better position.”

“Right now, we’re in the trifecta: a Republican president who’s aligned with the House and the Senate,” Hewitt noted. “And when you’re in the trifecta, you can get two — and some people argue, three — reconciliations through.”

Hewitt elaborated:

The first reconciliation, which is moving its way through, is the extension of the Trump tax cuts, and their refinement: no tax on tips and a couple other things. Energy production relief, defense buildup of $150 billion, and the fourth part is the border wall — border security. That, we’ll eventually get through.

Then there will be more opportunities. If they are smart, they will focus on empowering the executive to take control of the executive branch, meaning that independent agencies are no longer “independent.” They can move fast, they can break things, they can change regulations.

What The Past Four Years Have Brought

Posted on by

These two charts from the AMAC (The Association of Mature American Citizens) December magazine tell us a lot about what the past four years have been like.

These charts are included in an article listing President Trump’s plans for his first 100 days in office. This is the list:

SECURING THE BORDER

LOWER PRICES BY UNLEASHING AMERICAN ENERGY & CUTTING REGULATIONS

SUPPORT ISRAEL & END FOREIGN CONFLICTS

EXTEND & EXPAND TRUMP TAX CUTS

PROTECT SOCIAL SECURITY & MEDICARE

END TRANSGENDER INSANITY

END WOKENESS IN GOVERNMENT

APPOINT AN AMERICA FIRST ADMINISTRATION

The article concludes:

As the saying goes, “personnel is policy,” and Trump can take an important step to implementing his America First policies by hiring an America First cabinet and top staffers with the talent, drive, and determination to help Trump keep his promises
to the American people.

There will undoubtedly be a number of surprises in store for Trump and the country during his first few months in office. While disappointments and setbacks are unavoidable, Trump appears to have a solid plan in place to begin delivering on his
promises almost immediately after taking office—the beginning of a new era to restore freedom, opportunity, and security to Americans across the country.

Much of the mainstream media influence that was used to cripple President Trump’s first term has been tempered by the rise of the alternative media. Much of the deep state activities against him have been discovered and declared illegal, so I doubt they will be used again. Hopefully, President Trump’s second term can bring us closer to the government our Founding Fathers created.
