Happy May Day as President Trump Celebrates the Great Work of His First 100 Days

It's May Day and a public holiday all over Europe on Monday. May 1 is celebrated as the day for workers to be feted, but as most traditional holidays everywhere, it has become just another long weekend. • • • TRUMP CELEBRATES HIS 100 DAYS. There is one person who has been working hard since January 20. President Donald Trump. His record, despite the mainstream madia's efforts to belittle and deny his achievements, is impressive. • On Saturday evening, President Trump hosted a patriotic rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, with thousands of supporters marking the promises he made and kept during his first 100 days in the White House. The President told his rally audience : “There is no place I would rather be than right here in Pennsylvania to celebrate our 100-day milestone to reflect on an incredible journey together and to get ready for the great, great battles to come and that we will win in every case. Make no mistake, we are just beginning in our fight to make America great again!” Vice President Mike Pence introduced President Trump as “a man of his word and a man of action,” acknowledging their 2016 “big, beautiful victory” in the blue-leaning state of Pennsylvania. At the start of the rally, Trump told the roaring crowd that more than half of Americans say that the media is out of touch with everyday people. His return to Pennsylvania was a thank you, like the one he delivered to Florida voters last month in Tampa. To screams and cheers, the President said “now arrives the hour of action” -- as he rallyied his base with one of his credos : “Buy American and hire American!” Trump said : "For the last 100 days my administration has been delivering every single day for the great citizens of our country, whether it’s putting our coal miners back to work, protecting America’s steel and aluminum workers, or eliminating job killing regulations, we are keeping one promise after another and frankly the people are really happy about it. The previous administration gave us a mess. For decades our country has lived through the greatest jobs’ theft in the history of the world. Our factories were shuttered. Our steel mills closed down. Our jobs were stolen away and shipped far away to other countries, some of which you have never even heard of. Politicians sent troops to protect the borders of foreign nations but left America’s borders wide open for all to violate.” Trump also noted getting nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch appointed to the Supreme Court with relative ease in a politically divided Senate as well as approval of the Keystone pipeline. • • • THE FACTS. While the MSM repeats relentlessly that Trump has failed to keep his promises, the same MSM also accuses him of using executive orders at "a record pace" (to keep his promises??). Restore American Glory published a post last week that stated : "He could have made good on every single one of his campaign promises and the media would still be calling his presidency an abject failure. Hell, the more of his agenda he accomplished, the worse the reviews would be. He should stop worrying about satisfying the press, which is filled with liberals who want him to fail. He’s doing a fine job, and he should be proud of what he accomplished." The article goes on to congratulate President Trump for getting Neil Gorsuch confirmed to the Supreme Court, saying : "Anything on top of that is gravy." Then, the article adds that he didn’t just nominate Gorsuch, he also signed two executive orders intended to limit immigration from terrorist havens like Libya and Yemen -- orders "blocked by liberal judges, but we haven’t heard the last on that," pointing out that Trump is not to be held responsible for an activist judiciary. Then Restore American Glory says : "Let’s talk about foreign policy as it pertains to Syria and North Korea. After eight years of inaction -- or bad action -- on the part of the Obama administration, Trump is finally letting these rogue nations know what’s up. He is telling them that it’s a new dawn in American politics, and this bright, early morning has no room for dictators who threaten their citizens -- and the entire world -- with disaster." Other Trump orders are mentioned -- permitting the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline as proof of his commitment to furthering America’s energy interests; and noting that while he hasn’t yet found a way to fund and begin construction on the border Wall, statistics show that crossings along the Mexican border are down nearly 90% since he took office in January, "an enormous accomplishment that shows you just how powerful it is to have a President who’s serious about illegal immigration." • We can also add some other actions Trump has taken in his first 100 days -- • signing an executive order rescinding an Obama-era policy keeping most of the Arctic seas off-limits to drilling and asking the Department of the Interior to review the current five-year offshore leasing plan, and in the same order also preventing the Department of Commerce from creating new marine national monuments or expanding existing ones and ordering the department to conduct a review of offshore monuments to see if they run afoul of the original intent of the Antiquities Act. • in a similar executive order, directing the Interior Department to conduct a review on land-based national monuments. Interior will examine whether national monuments created over the past 20 years should be rescinded or modified. • promising at his address to the National Rifle Association convention to "never, ever infringe" on Second Amendment rights and declaring Obama's alleged "assault" on those freedoms is over : “I am here to deliver you good news: the eight-year assault on your Second Amendment freedoms has come to a crashing end....I will never, ever infringe on the rights of the people to keep and bear arms.” • The Trump White House is watching the North Korea situation closely and consulting with China about Kim's behavior, while asking for another round of UN sanctions and moving part of the US Pacific Fleet into Korean waters. Several administration officials, including Vice President Mike Pence, have said that the era of "strategic patience" with North Korea is now over. • Trump announced that he was on the verge of pulling the US out of the North American Free Trade Agreement via executive order, and while the MSM and #never Trump Republicans were wringing their hands in pulbic about his "stupidity," the deal maker President got what he wanted -- President Nieto and Prime Minister Trudeau placed emergency calls to President Trump almost immediately after the news broke : “I received calls from the President of Mexico and the Prime Minister of Canada asking to renegotiate NAFTA rather than terminate. I agreed subject to the fact that if we do not reach a fair deal for all, we will then terminate NAFTA. Relationships are good -- deal very possible!” In an official statement, Trump said : “It is my privilege to bring NAFTA up to date through renegotiation. It is an honor to deal with both President Peña Nieto and Prime Minister Trudeau, and I believe that the end result will make all three countries stronger and better.” The MSM, ProgDems and GOP aside, this is what hardball negotiations are all about, and it is what separates Trump from the rest of the do-nothing politicians in Washington. If Trump is able to secure US workers a better deal through NAFTA, he will only be able to do so BECAUSE he is willing and ready to scrap the deal completely. This deal maker tactic apparently still eludes the power elite in Washington DC. • • • DEAR READERS, I wish everyone a very Happy May Day. Celebrate the value and joys of work and remember President Trump, the man who is working day and night to make America and the world fair, safe and, yes, great. It is comforting to know we have an American President working for all of us again.
