President Trump is going to do what he said he would

I had to laugh at an article in the Wall Street Journal a couple of days ago. Its theme, but not its title, was the same as mine above. Of course, President Trump is going to do what he said he would, that is why we voted for him.
The second Trump presidency is off to a roaring start. It is obvious President Trump and his team took notes the first time around and are hitting the ground running this week.
The portion of the country that believes in big government is going to be disappointed and angry. People who think like me would like to see the government shrink by half at least. New regulations should be produced like one of our former presidents said about abortions, they should be safe and rare.
Other things I hope for are some like this. Can we tone down the sex talk among children? We don’t have to make it like it was when I was a kid – completely mysterious. I don't think introducing the subject of sex and genders in detail to the little ones is necessary.
The entertainment industry also bears responsibility for these trends. We don’t know the long-term effect of these policies, but it seems like it can’t be good. Thus, I was pleased to hear President Trump announce that the federal government would only recognize two genders going forward.
Turning to other subjects, I love the idea of Gulf of America. Talk about inclusive – this is a brilliant, inclusive move. It is a name that reflects who could defend this area if outsiders tried to take it over, not just Mexico, not just the United States, but all Americans, from Prudhoe Bay to Tierra de Fuego.
DEI has been rightly identified as a racist posture. It is like the old “Affirmative Action” of the 1960s whose excuse for existing was to right the wrongs of the previous 100 years.
If you look around at our society today, the discrimination is rich vs. poor, not skin color. I spoke of this a few columns back when comparing the North Carolina disaster to the Los Angeles disaster. I am pleased to hear that President Trump is going to stop in North Carolina first on his way to visit Los Angeles.
It is time to stop playing games in the country and that is what President Trump is about. One only has to look at the national debt to see what games we have been playing. When President Clinton left office, the national debt stood at $10 trillion. Now it is $35.46 trillion. This is clearly not sustainable. Go President Trump!

Policies
“TRUTH – It’s the New Hate Speech: “During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act” – George Orwell”
Trump ran on policies that 77,302,580 American patriots agree with.
Trump is not nearly as cynical as our hypercritical antagonistic adversaries.
