Trump, never one to "hide his light under a bushel", has often enough expounded on his 'winning policies. During his 2016 campaign, he said
“We’re gonna win so much, you may even get tired of winning. And you’ll say, ‘Please, please. It’s too much winning. We can’t take it anymore, Mr. President, it’s too much.’ And I’ll say, ‘No it isn’t. We have to keep winning. We have to win more!”
Trump is nothing if not entertaining. Yet, this last week qualifies as the most winning of weeks for Trump and his policies. Let's look at the list:
- The US dropped massive bunker busters on Iranian nuclear facilities, significantly downgrading, if not eliminating, their nuclear infrastructure and capabilities.
- At the NATO conference, he won commitments from almost all NATO members to increase their defence investments to 5% of GDP
- SCOTUS announced 3 most significant rulings, all in favour of the Trump administration;
- The first was a ruling denying individual Federal Court judges the right to issue nationwide injunctions. This is a direct defeat of the lawfare battle that the Democrats had initiated against Trump's executive orders. Virtually every one of his EOs had been challenged via injunctions for various reasons by left-leaning Federal judges.
- The second was to give power back to parents to refuse to accept the LGBT propaganda that seems to have pervaded many of them
- The third was to allow the administration to send illegal immigrants to third-party nations
- The signing of a trade deal with China
- Food giants have agreed to remove artificial dyes from food
- The social security payments have had the most considerable monthly reduction ever, due largely to the work of DOGE
- The Pentagon has started reinstating service members who had been wrongfully dismissed due to their refusal to accept the COVID-19 vaccine.
- Trump brought an end to the war between Rwanda and Congo, a war that had been going on for decades.
- The tariff strategy has generated some $88 B, disproving many pundits
- The SP500 and NASDAQ hit record highs
- Zero crossings of illegal immigrants into the US
Not a bad list!
