The first time around, Donald Trump was the best President of the United States since Andrew Jackson. But the degree of difficulty he faced was too great, and he was obviously not ready for the level of resistance he faced from his own appointees and employees. He has already shown signs that he is much better prepared for his second stint in office, as the list of the executive orders he signed immediately following his inauguration tends to show.
It’s better than a good start, it’s an excellent start. But excising the Deep State and foreign interests from Washington DC is a marathon, not a sprint, and they’re going to fight him every step of the way. He’s yet to end the Federal Reserve, foreign aid, and the IRS, or begin any mass repatriations of LEGAL immigrants. The only new order that seems particularly dubious is the removal of sanctions from the settlers in Israel; this does tend to underline the existing suspicions that there will be a false equivalence between American interests and Israeli interests, but at this point, there is no reason not to give the once and current President the benefit of the doubt.
For the meantime, enjoy the hope!
