Earlier this morning President Trump stopped on the South Lawn prior to getting on Marine-One headed to Camp David.
President Trump is completely on stride now. The final tax reform product is not quite as good as he originally hoped, but the underlying business side has all the essential elements needed to fuel GDP well beyond 4%. Titan POTUS is deep in his comfort zone right now, and has gamed out his targeted economic objectives. Bigly.
.
If congress screws this vote up now, you can easily expect President Trump to tear the dome of the Capitol Building, personally. 1.) Pass the tax bill. 2.) Exit nafta 3.) Leverage more manufacturing company returns. 4.) Investment chases opportunity.
Lastly, watch the stock market continue increasing because actual profits, not paper shuffling, will reflect the stunning engine of U.S.A Main Street roaring back to life.
“If congress screws this vote up now, you can easily expect President Trump to tear the dome of the Capitol Building, personally.”
I totally believe that. We have two NO’s so far 1 from NY and the other from CA (Issa). As far as I’m concerned, I’m not too surprised about those considering the states they are coming from but Trump will show them no mercy if this bill doesn’t make it to his desk and neither will the voters.

Actually word is Senate votes Monday and House votes Tuesday. PDJT can sign Thursday or later. I heard he wants to sign Christmas Eve.
BTW, PDJT asked IRS when they can implement the changes in withholdings and they said 18 February.

Actually, President Trump knows most of the Union guys. All he would have to do is call up the head of the HVAC Union, and ask them to turn off the heat at the Capitol Building. It only got up to about 40 degrees today.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the bill passed the House, passed the Senate, went back to the House for reconciliation. So, if reconciliation is passed by the House, that’s it.

The incumbent RINOs can be removed in their primaries if there is a larger turnout in the primaries. There’s only about 17% voter turnout in republican primaries. Too many so-called conservatives stay home in the primaries and then are ‘surprised’ that the incumbent won, again.

y’know we oughta run an office pool here: how far would the stock market crash if somehow this tax reform bill is not passed? My guess is at least 10% on the first day and perhaps as much as 20%. Funny thing is even if the Dow fell 4000+ points to 20,000, it would still be up over 10% since Election Day…MAGA!

Yesterday M. Armstrong posted yet another article on the Dow this time in conjunction with PTrump’s Tax Reform. Socrates is Armstrong’s AI forecasting, which forecast the record dow highs back in ’09. Per MA we are in a vertical market. More is to come per Socrates AI forecasts. I’m just along for the ride. It’s going to be as breathtaking as the Trump Train has been!

The final tax package is more or less what Trump expected to be able to get. That’s why he dropped his initial negotiation anchors where he did, so the “master debaters” on Capitol Hill would compromise their way down from it to a place that was still good enough for him.
Now Trump says “It’s not quite what I wanted, but close enough to sign, great work everyone!” And that’s the first anchor dropped for a future negotiation to get the tax plan closer to his true desires next time.
There will be a next time.
Considering who he had to work with – or rather against – Trump managed a fantastic deal here. He is magnificent.

Trump’s lack of decorum, dignity, and statesmanship
My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #NeverTrumpers) constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum. They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.”
Here’s my answer:
We Right-thinking people have tried dignity. There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency.
We tried statesmanship. Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized “collegiality” as John McCain?
We tried propriety – has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney?
And the results were always the same. This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob.
I don’t find anything “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper” about Barack Obama’s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party. I don’t see anything “dignified” in lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks. I don’t see anything “statesman-like” in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent. Yes, Obama was “articulate” and “polished” but in no way was he in the least bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper.”
The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ‘60s. To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale.. It has been a war they’ve fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery and lies from day one – the violent take-over of the universities – till today. The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war. While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety. With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end. Donald Trump is America ’s first wartime president in the Culture War.
During wartime, things like “dignity” and “collegiality” simply aren’t the most essential qualities one looks for in their warriors. Ulysses Grant was a drunk whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming. Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today. Lincoln rightly recognized that, “I cannot spare this man. He fights.”
General George Patton was a vulgar-talking. In peacetime, this might have seen him stripped of rank. But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum then, Hitler and the Socialists would barely be five decades into their thousand-year Reich.
Trump is fighting. And what’s particularly delicious is that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel’s, he’s shouting, “You magnificent bastards, I read your book!”
That is just the icing on the cake, but it’s wonderful to see that not only is Trump fighting, he’s defeating the Left using their own tactics. That book is Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals – a book so essential to the Liberals’ war against America that it is and was the playbook for the entire Obama administration and the subject of Hillary Clinton’s senior thesis. It is a book of such pure evil, that, just as the rest of us would dedicate our book to those we most love or those to whom we are most indebted, Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer.
Trump’s tweets may seem rash and unconsidered but, in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky suggested his followers do. First, instead of going after “the fake media” — and they are so fake that they have literally gotten every single significant story of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically opposed to the truth, from the Tet Offensive to Benghazi, to what really happened on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri — Trump isolated CNN.. He made it personal.
Then, just as Alinsky suggests, he employs ridicule which Alinsky described as “the most powerful weapon of all.”… Most importantly, Trump’s tweets have put CNN in an untenable and unwinnable position. … They need to respond. This leaves them with only two choices. They can either “go high” (as Hillary would disingenuously declare of herself and the fake news would disingenuously report as the truth) and begin to honestly and accurately report the news or they can double-down on their usual tactics and hope to defeat Trump with twice their usual hysteria and demagoguery. The problem for CNN (et al.) with the former is that, if they were to start honestly reporting the news, that would be the end of the Democratic Party they serve.
It is nothing but the incessant use of fake news (read: propaganda) that keeps the Left alive. Imagine, for example, if CNN had honestly and accurately reported then-candidate Barack Obama’s close ties to foreign terrorists (Rashid Khalidi), domestic terrorists (William Ayers), the mafia (Tony Rezko) or the true evils of his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright’s church. Imagine if they had honestly and accurately conveyed the evils of the Obama administration’s weaponizing of the IRS to be used against their political opponents or his running of guns to the Mexican cartels or the truth about the murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the Obama administration’s cover-up.
So, to my friends on the Left — and the #NeverTrumpers as well — do I wish we lived in a time when our president could be “collegial” and “dignified” and “proper”? Of course I do. These aren’t those times. This is war. And it’s a war that the Left has been fighting without opposition for the past 50 years. So, say anything you want about this president – I get it – he can be vulgar, he can be crude, he can be undignified at times. I don’t care. I can’t spare this man. He fights for America!
