| h/t Instapundit It's true that Donald Trump cannot yet claim a major legislative accomplishment. It's also true that he himself bears some of the blame for that: the distractions of his chaotic style have given cover to a divided and spineless GOP legislature. Nonetheless, those of us who voted for him with misgiving can still feel more than well pleased with his three major achievements so far: the appointment of an excellent Supreme Court justice; the battle against the Giant Squid-like beast of the regulatory state; and the fact that he's not Hillary Clinton, a felonious battle-axe who would've continued the Chicago-style corruption of the Obama administration and destroyed the American Experiment with freedom-smothering socialism. Speaking personally, I'd put Trump on Mount Rushmore for that last achievement alone. But there's a fourth major accomplishment too, unofficial and extra-governmental though it may be: Trump's emotional torture of the press. |

| #4 Trump did reveal the press for what it is. He also showed the deep disenchantment with the government which exists within his voters. Bernie Sanders also did this with a different block of voters. The conclusion is that the majority of voters are not satisfied with what the politicos and Deep State spoon feeds us. |

| #3 #1 What is interesting is that the "Press" are so beyond reason that they are now calling for burning down the house - ie 1st Amendment. They go with it.

| #2 "But there's a fourth major accomplishment too, unofficial and extra-governmental though it may be: Trump's emotional torture of the press." More than that, I think, it is that he has succeeded in goading and baiting the media into revealing, as plain as day to anyone with eyes and a functioning brain, the fact that they are little more than paid propagandists for the Democratic Party, in a relationship that differs little from that between the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and Pravda and Izvestia. |
