UPDATED (12/1): President Elect Trump Changing The Tone of the Presidency

Business, Donald Trump, Labor

The question’s so improbable, you’ve probably never asked it of yourself: Has an American president ever directly affected your life for the better? Not mine. Donald Trump, however, has already delivered on his promise to directly champion the cause of flesh-and-blood, working Americans.

When the New York Times doesn’t trash Trump for the Carrier feat, you know it’s BIG:

From the earliest days of his campaign, Donald J. Trump made keeping manufacturing jobs in the United States his signature economic issue, and the decision by Carrier, the big air-conditioner company, to move over 2,000 of them from Indiana to Mexico was a tailor-made talking point for him on the stump. … On Thursday, Mr. Trump and Mike Pence, Indiana’s governor and the vice president-elect, plan to appear at Carrier’s Indianapolis factory to announce a deal with the company to keep roughly 1,000 jobs in the state, according to officials with the transition team as well as Carrier.

Carrier worker Robin Maynard expressed joy and gratitude on the Castro News Network. CNN, however, managed to spin the Carrier deal Trump has struck before inauguration as … a possible negative. (At what price, etc.)

I hated both George Bush and Barack Obama. Other than to read prepackaged speeches and make the right sounds at crucial times in their presidency (in Obama’s case mostly when the victim was black)–they did nothing to directly help suffering Americans. If anything, the opposite is true. They’d arrive on stage, read a pre-prepared speeche, maybe authorize appropriations via a bureaucracy, and go back to their privilege.

Trump has not granted a handout; he’s helped people keep their livelihood.

Well done, President Elect Trump.

UPDATE (12/1): Some idiots like Bernie Sanders don’t get it.

‘Donald Trump Will Be The Next President Of The US’ I Predicted, June 23

Donald Trump, Elections, Ilana Mercer

“Donald Trump will be the next president of the US” was my presidential prediction, on June 23. Six days before the publication of my analysis of how this had been achieved—the “The Trump Revolution: The Donald Creative Destruction Deconstructed” (June 29)—I blogged:

Brexit is a harbinger of things to come. Donald Trump will be the next president of the US. Go Britons! Once again, Britain leads the way: In “Brexit, Britain Votes with Trump, against Hillary, Obama.” AND, let it be said, against ISLAM and the absence of borders.

More: “Brexit Leads The Way, Trump Will Be The Next US President.”

And Jack Kerwick floated the idea before any of us, in 2011.

Try This On For Anti-Semitism

Anti-Semitism, Donald Trump, Israel, Judaism & Jews

“Try This on for Anti-semitism” is the current column, now on Townhall.com. An excerpt:

Paul Gottfried’s essay, “Are Bannon’s Critics For Real?”, dispenses with the no-brainer that Steve Bannon, “Breitbart executive and Donald Trump adviser,” is a white nationalist. After all, argues Gottfried, Bannon “comes from the world of Washington politics and journalism,” not exactly a hotbed of white identity politics. It’s “not at all clear to me that those who write for Bannon’s website publication, some of whom are Orthodox Jews, have much to do with white identitarians who also use the term ‘Altright,’” contends Gottfried.

As co-originator of the Alternative Right concept and phrase, Gottfried is in the know.

His piece appeared on FrontPage Magazine, which openly debates taboo topics—from black-on-white crime (the predominate kind), to slavery (who abolished it; who still practices it), to Islam (it counsels conquest, not co-existence). And now neoconservatism, a deformation of conservatism drastically weakened, inadvertently, by Donald Trump.

Why inadvertently? As Barack Obama remarked recently (“a stopped clock” and all that stuff), President-elect Trump is not an ideologue. It’s a point made in my latest book, “The Trump Revolution: The Donald’s Creative Destruction Deconstructed”:

“Donald Trump is no ‘visionary’ vis-à-vis government. If anything, he’s practical and pragmatic. He wants a fix for Americans, not a fantasy. A healthy patriotism is associated with Trump’s kind of robust particularism—petty provincialism, if you like—and certainly not with the deracinated globalism of the neoconservative and liberal establishment. The Left calls it fascism; patriots call it nationalism. Donald Trump has the potential to be just the provincial, America Firster the doctor ordered.”

Bannon is also catching hell for some hearsay. He’s alleged to have complained about wealthy Jews raising “whiney brats.” Try this on for antisemitism. It’s a flashback. I’m seated at a café with my father. We’re being served by a rather animated waiter. I can’t recall how the conversation turned to Ashkenazi Jews, but our waiter let rip: “If only Hitler had killed all of them,” he fulminated.

The café was in Israel of my youth. The waiter was a Yemeni Jew. The time: Well before American political correctness had percolated around the world. The hatred our waiter had expressed for his East-European brethren was perfectly understandable to Israelis back then. …
