Trump's burden: Cleaning up Obama's mess

2018-07-04

[American Thinker] President Trump is unraveling eight years of Obama tyranny. Here is a little reminder why so many people now stand shoulder to shoulder with President Trump.

President Trump has chosen to unravel the last eight years of Obama's tyranny one day at a time. Trump is now reversing the negative Obama tide by simply implementing basic commonsense economic policies. The combination of this commonsense approach with tax cuts and the reversal of countless Obama executive order EPA regulations has resulted in a booming economy. Do you really think Obama cared about the middle class economically, or did he just take all of us for fools with his love of job-killing EPA regulations? These regulations did nothing but destroy American jobs and add costs to American-made products and U.S. private businesses. They had absolutely no real effect on the environment. Trump's reversal of these Obama regulations has brought back many U.S. jobs, and this has become the main contributing factor in revitalizing numerous U.S. industries.

Why would a president who cared about peace and security in the Middle East and the world recklessly remove U.S. troops from Iraq? Was Obama the Manchurian candidate? The devastating negative repercussions of Obama's removal of U.S. troops from Iraq will surely be felt for many decades. ISIS in filling up the power vacuum within the Middle East has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths. Trump has since cleaned up the ISIS mess, and it took him less than a year to do it.

Was Obama's compliance in enabling the terror state of Iran to receive 150 million dollars to basically self-regulate its nuclear program something that made the world a safer place? Thank God Trump has removed the U.S. from such a diabolical, one-sided "deal." The current uprisings in Iran might just take care of this problem. There will be no reprieve for the Iranian mullahs this time, not from President Trump.

#5 Trump's mercantilist/protectionist policies are not good and in the end only hurts consumers.

Generally, tariffs are inlationary. Tariff costs get passed on to the consumer and result in increased prices. However, I wonder if tariffs can't provide an incentive to manufacture the products in the U.S. and thus create jobs. Suppose we buy steel from China. Further, suppose, we put a tariff on Chinese steel thus raising the costs and increasing the price of imported steel. If the price gets too high, there is an incentive, at some point, to consider manufacturing the steel in the U.S. When you add in transporation costs, it might become cheaper to manufacture more steel here.

#4 Was Obama the Manchurian candidate?

No. No "Manchurian candidate" would dare to do what he did.

#3 ...and in the end only hurts consumers.

Really, better to have nearly everyone unemployed with a few money makers and dealers at the top of the heap. That's not going to make a nation. Everyone protects their interests. There is no Free Trade nor Workers Paradise. All theory, no practical application with humans. Let's have Fair Trade without sell out the house.

#2 Was Obama the Manchurian candidate?

Yes. But so was John McCain.

#1 We had no business going into Iraq in the first place. No Barry fan here, but un-f-ing an f'ed up situation isn't easy.

Obamacare...another disaster. But Trump's mercantilist/protectionist policies are not good and in the end only hurts consumers.
