With President Donald Trump, we finally have a pro-American in the White House.
And what great eight years we’re facing. By the time Jan. 20, 2025, lands, the New York titan will have built a grand legacy: Made the World Great Again.
So America first, yes. But really everywhere will be safer than ever. Here are 10 triumphs coming in Donald Trump’s two terms. And no matter what he says, we won’t tire of winning.
Unite Korea. No way, you say. That North Korean lunatic/whack job/nut – take your pick of Trump shots – would rather A-bomb the Asian peninsula than switch on the lights for his communist cohorts. Yet this is exactly how geniuses saw Germany as late as the summer of 1989. The Berlin Wall was staying put ad infinitum amid East German and Soviet intransigence. Uh, no it wasn’t. The whole commie edifice crumbled by that fall. Now watch Trump ignite a replay, declaring at the DMZ: “Hey, idiot, tear down this fence. What do you call this? A barrier? It’s a joke.” Next up is a call to China, key to killing Kim Jong-un’s starvation diet north of the 38th President Eisenhower ended the Korean War with 1953’s armistice. Now President Trump solidifies the process with One Korea.
Build the wall. Speaking of barriers, Trump grasps them like no one. Walling off Mexico – a concept from Ann Coulter’s 2015 book, “Adios, America” – vaulted him to victory. Now it will turn his base into concrete. Trump’s fans will stick with him forever. Beyond politics, the wall will bring illegal immigration and the drug flood to a screeching halt. This is the foundation of Trump’s America First focus.
Make ISIS past tense. The terror scum had better be terrified. President Trump targets what counts: the Islamic State’s oil supply. No oil, no money, no bombs to slaughter civilization. “We’re gonna knock the hell out of ISIS,” he said on the campaign trail. Believe it. That means leveling the oil fields. When it’s broke, the Islamic State will look like Iowa State smothered on a football Saturday.
Secure the Mideast. With ISIS WASWAS, President Trump will shine as the sheriff in the desert. Scared? Hell no, as he moves the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem above the Arab din. Then comes what he calls the toughest deal: getting Western Asia’s countries to recognize Israel. “Cut the crap,” he’ll tell the whole gang. And they will.
Boost medical care. Talk about painless. Stop the insane inflation of Obamacare? Start competition in the insurance and drug arenas? Easy for the master who remade Manhattan. A top doctor in the whole operation will be daughter Ivanka, a serious brain in writing a new chapter in the “Art of the Heal”: FitAmerica.
Blaze a love for America. This is essential in our schools. They constantly shovel lefty tripe to the point where the hoax of all time – that Americans’ horrible habits hurt the weather – is gospel. Trump will stop that cold, starting with this crazy notion: America rocks. It’s the most humane, innovative country in history by design. The Founding Fathers created a system, spelled out in the Constitution, that separates us from the globe’s dictatorships and hardships. Trump cheers America’s unique freedom and power. After eight years of Obama bowing, this president loves our nation’s exceptionalism. All you have to do is go back to the fall of 2015 during a stop in New Hampshire, where a student whined about the atom-bombing of Japan. Trump shot him down: “Do you remember this thing called Pearl Harbor? It turned out we were stronger, meaner and smarter.” This teacher gets it. The forecast for citizens’ outlook is about to change – to sunny.
Drink the ocean. You’ve seen Trump Ice Natural Spring Water. Now introducing Trump Waves, the product that will surface from his desalination operation. Hello to a president who really will affect the seas versus the Obama slowing-the-rise-of-the-oceans bunk. Goodbye to real dread from Africa to California: drought. With Trump twisting arms to cheapen the salt-to-potable-water solution, at a pace set by Israel’s Sorek plant, surf’s up and drink up will be synonymous.
Degrade plastic. Nothing piles up quite like plastic when it comes to garbage. It doesn’t vanish like wood and food. So dumping computer frames in a compost heap doesn’t help the garden. But what if it did? The same whizzes who invented the edible, chocolate coffee cup could do likewise for plastic. This issue turns off so many people, California has cracked down on plastic bags. President Trump won’t throw in the towel on the cleanup front. Watch him push companies to beat the plastic plague. If Carrier can cower to the Trump Touch, so will fellow firms.
Twist Twitter. The real hang-up regarding Trump’s tweets? The name: tweeting. It reflects the flighty logo. So the president weighs in on terror and trade with tweets? Doesn’t have the proper heft. Leave it to Trump to find the answer: Change the optics. Go from bird to bulk. Trash Twitter in favor of Hitter. Better duck. Here come Trump’s hits.
Mars. President Kennedy had the longest aim in history. “This nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before the decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth,” he said in May 1961. America came through something fierce, pulling off the feat in July 1969. Enter the 45th president. Moon? Heck, he can Trump that. Go to the National Air & Space Museum and declare, “We’re getting to Mars by 2025, that I can tell you.”
America First. Planet Second. Universe Third. President Trump will make his mark all over the map.
If you wonder how that’s possible the next eight years, recall TV’s Chris Matthews asking him during the campaign: “What are your tools” to get things done?
Trump’s answer: “Me.”
