Need a little
pick-me-up? David Prentice at American Thinker has some thoughts on President Trump's accomplishments in his first year in office, despite a corrupt and hostile media that
lies about him every day, despite the GOP elites that obstruct his agenda every inch of the way, despite the
howling from environmentalists, the academic community, etc., etc. Prentice’s
question: “how in the hell is
Trump doing this?” Below is a short extract from his article proposing some answers:
The art of building is an underestimated skill. It
requires a combination of deep intelligence, blue collar toughness, a mind
capable of great focus and flexibility. Walking onto a construction
site is like walking into a washing machine. Everything is moving;
machines, people, tools, and lots of noise. Lots of noise. All
being driven to a finish line of time, money, and hopefully the integrity of a
job that will endure. It’s the Wild West of being in business, and you’d
better be prepared to live your life in a storm that doesn’t stop until each
project is complete. After which you are fired. Well, not really,
but you are terminated with your final payment, and if you’re good, you get to
start another job all over again because you won a bid against other companies
that want the same job. The storm never ends.
. . .
It’s a storm that invigorates you to succeed, or drives you to
fail. You push, you press to figure out the process and master
it. Or go home. Donald Trump loved this process early
on. It was his early training, it was what molded his outlook, it was what
tested him. His life was a storm. He used the storm of New York
building to vault his company to the top of the heap. He used the storm
while building nationwide, and worldwide to propel it even further.
This is a man whose whole life has been lived within storms.
He thrives on them, welcomes them, and uses them to achieve his goals.
It’s clear Trump’s political career is following the same
course. Whoever tries to engulf him within a storm loses. The left
has been calling on storm after storm, and they are still losing. They
don’t get it yet. Return to that list of accomplishments cited
earlier. He is implementing his promises one at a time, the whole time
the left conjures multiple deluges, dark ones, like the witches in
Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
It’s amazing to watch.
