From the linked article by Roger Kimball:
Here are just a few of the major achievements you can expect within the first 18 months:
- The United States will once again have a southern border. The tsunami of illegals invading our country will collapse. Anyone with a criminal record discovered to have come here illegally will be deported.
- The Ukraine war will be brought to an end. Trump will broker a deal that leaves Russia with Crimea, a corridor into Crimea, and the Russian-speaking bits of the Donbas. The slaughter will stop.
3. Fracking and other methods of extracting fossil fuels will resume in earnest. In short order, America will resume its place as an energy-independent nation. The price of gas will fall. Nuclear power will be aggressively pursued.
4. Huge brakes will be applied to the regulatory Leviathan strangling American business and hobbling entrepreneurs.
5. Trump will extend his original tax cuts, introduce new tax cuts for the middle and working class, and probably lower the corporate tax rates to 15 percent from 21 percent. Investment in the U.S. will soar.
6. Trump will expel the poison of wokeness from the military and the government. ESG, CRT, and DEI initiatives will be canceled in all government agencies. The cancer of Title IX insanity will be excised from academia. Legal efforts to abolish public sector unions, beginning with the teacher’s union, will be undertaken almost immediately. - Elon Musk will help eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse throughout the government. He was able to fire approximately 80 percent of Twitter employees directly when he acquired the company and the platform has become much more robust, secure, and user-friendly in the process.
Voters remember Trump’s first term. Unemployment was at the lowest level it had been in decades; minority unemployment was the lowest on record. Wages were rising, especially at the lower end of the scale. Illegal border crossings were at their lowest level in years. Inflation was a tame 1.2 percent. America was not at war, nor was it countenancing major conflicts anywhere in the work. The FBI wasn’t going after concerned parents at school board meetings or people who posted things on Twitter with which Trump disagreed.
Millions of voters look back on the first Trump administration with fond longing. That is the world, the America, they want.
