This is what winning feels like

"Anyhow, this is what winning looks like. Don't blink, or you might miss something important. Now it is up to the Dems in the Senate to quit stalling and let's get the rest of Trump's cabinet confirmed. Time to let the adults in the room get to their new jobs."  

Remind me never to play poker with Donald Trump. He does not bluff much, but sure knows how to play his cards. And he always knows where the cards are on the table. What does that have to do with today? As soon as Trump informed the Mexicans and Canadians that he was going to slap a 25% tariff on each of them for allowing illegals as well as fentanyl to cross our borders, the US Democrats were about wetting their pants. YOU CAN'T TO THAT! (they screamed and wallowed). You were supposed to reduce our costs, not increase them! But our president knew exactly what he was doing. 

This is what winning feels like. How so? Let me list a few items:

• Rubio goes down to Panama to meet with President Mulino. Explains to him that signing the "Belt and Roads" agreement with China was a violation of our agreement. Next thing you know, Mulino rips up the China agreement, and things are much better with us.
• Trump talks with President Sheinbaum of Mexico. Explains to her that the 25% tariff on Mexico is due to a drug war, and not a trade war. All of a sudden, Mexico agrees to send 10,000 Mexican troops to their side of our border. The 25% was then put on hold for 30 days.
• Later in the day, Trump talks to Trudeau. He also agrees to bolster this enforcement on his side of the border. The talk was good enough for Trump to put the Candian 25% tariff on hold for 30 days. 
• Musk was allowed to look at the disbursements in the Treasury Department. He found out the USAID was nothing more than a huge money laundering organization. $50 B of our tax dollars - wasted. Musk talked to Trump, and Trump agreed it was time for the USAID group to go. Another scalp for DOGE.
• The number of illegals coming over either border right now has gone from a flood on the southern border, to less than a trickle. Tom Homan's group continues to use ICE to round up the bad ones first and get them out of here. Slowly for now, quicker in the future, the purge continues.

I know it was very painful to have four years of Biden. I know he almost wrecked the country. But those days are over. The four-year hiatus that Trump had away from the White House were not wasted years. Not a bit. He used those four years to really take the temperature of the country. Look at everything. What was broken, and how to fix it. By the time he was sworn in two weeks ago, he was ready. He knew where the easy wins were, and how to tackle the hard ones. He hit the ground running and has not slowed down one bit since then. 

Today, Donald Trump is meeting with his good friend and our best Middle Eastern ally, Bibi Netanyahu. The purpose of the meeting is to craft out how the second phase of the "agreement" with Hamas will play out. Phase 1 of this agreement has been rocky, and Phase 2 might be worse. The road ahead will not be easy - the agreement might end up dying after only the first phase is over.

Anyhow, this is what winning looks like. Don't blink, or you might miss something important. Now it is up to the Dems in the Senate to quit stalling and let's get the rest of Trump's cabinet confirmed. Time to let the adults in the room get to their new jobs.
