It’s the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday weekend, so I was
looking for some essays and think-pieces that might be of interest to Tea Party
readers. One that I found is J. B. Shurk’s
somewhat wider perspective of President Trump, as published at American Thinker (and
if you dislike President Trump, you still may find his perspectives
interesting). The title: “What Do Democrats Fear in Donald Trump? Greatness.” Here’s a sample:
Consider how many powerful ideas
Donald Trump has cast into the national consciousness. He has
exposed both major parties as socialist globalist cults more concerned with
government health care and foreign nation-building than a policy for American
freedom. He has exposed how free trade can never be free when based
on slave labor. He has exposed how the silent destruction of towns
across the Midwest came not from China's comparative advantage, but from
American companies' use of slavery by proxy. He has redirected
investment away from Wall Street and toward Main Street for the first time in
over thirty years and has unleashed three decades' worth of pent up
entrepreneurial energy in the very towns long deemed dead. He has
questioned how the federal government can have any legitimacy if it fails at
enforcing its very own immigration laws.
Not one Nobel laureate imagined
this American renaissance of GDP and stock market surge, record-low
unemployment, wage growth, and low inflation in one bubbling cauldron. It
took a change agent. Not one foreign policy mandarin suggested
unleashing the entrepreneurial spirit of the American oil man in order to
destroy our enemies' power over us permanently. It took a change
agent. Not one State Department official questioned why the United
States was still subsidizing Europe's generous socialist welfare system seventy
years after WWII. It took a change agent. Nobody wondered
why we were enriching China at our own expense and preparing for a world where
a communist dictator would lead. It took Donald Trump.
Without worry or apology, Donald
Trump stands before the world with a giant mirror, and the world does not like
what it sees.
. . .
What his fiercest adversaries
[such as James Carville] are only now realizing is that Trump has shifted the
trajectory of history permanently.
