 5 Things That Are Better Now Because of Trump

Relax, liberals. Some good things happened this year.

The end of the year is nigh. Time to discuss how the first year of Donald Trump’s presidency has helped America. Let’s pause here while scores of peppermint mocha go crashing to the floor at Starbucks all across our nation’s capital.

To many Americans, of course, the thought that a Trump presidency could result in anything positive is the equivalent of a man recently telling a congressman recovering from a gun shot wound that at least the shooting was “a helluva way to lose weight.” But it is nonetheless true. Donald Trump: Year One hasn’t been all bad for the nation. In fact, his presidency has clarified a lot. It’s also strengthened a number of institutions that needed a wake-up call or two.

Here are a few that, in an odd way, might actually consider thanking Trump this holiday season.

This is from Politico --- so they're shoring up their liberal base with this list.  IMHO, unless a liberal, it's not worth giving Politico the traffic.  (I took one for the team and checked.  )


Happy New Year!

This service to the nation was executed perhaps most memorably by Louisiana’s Republican Senator John Kennedy, who in December so completely humiliated an unqualified judicial nominee put forward by the Trump White House that said nominee was forced to withdraw.

Hilarious.

Ok ... on the flip side, what things are worse off now because of Trump?  I feel its a little early in the game to judge him, but so far the only thing that I disagree with is his reversal on Bammy's rules on tip-pooling.  Of course with him owning hotels and casinos it benefits his pockets significantly.

There's the article posted this morning about the Trump administration deciding not to pursue the ban on transgenders being in the military and paying for their surgeries.

So ... the what he says he's going to do and what he actually does are two different things continues.  Thanks for the info.
