   How President Trump Can Retake the Initiative and Rebuild a More Resilient Economy

Republicans take note: voters across the political spectrum have woken up to the dangers of relying on foreign supply chains for critical products.

There’s trouble brewing for President Trump in Florida. Earlier this year the state seemed out of reach for Democrats. But the must-win state which he carried in 2016, is home to Mar-A-Lago, and which elected Republican Ron DeSantis governor in 2018 may now be vulnerable.

According to publicly available data, registered Republicans in Florida have requested at least 320,000 fewer absentee ballots than in 2016. President Trump doesn’t have that much margin for error in a state he won by only 103,000 votes—especially in a year when older voters may be reluctant to go to the polls for fear of contracting COVID-19.

There are also warning signs coming out of bellwether Arizona, another must-win state. A poll commissioned by September Group and conducted between May 9-11 shows President Trump trailing Joe Biden by 7 points (50-43 percent). Trump won Arizona by 3.5 percent in 2016. It’s worse for Senator Martha McSally, who trails first-time candidate Mark Kelly by 13 point

So how can President Trump—or any Republican—win? The same poll offers an answer. It asked likely voters if they would be more or less likely to vote for a candidate who had a plan “to make the United States more self-sufficient and to make sure more of the food, energy, and medicine” is produced in America. The results were remarkable. Seventy-five percent said yes, including 88 percent of Republicans, 71 percent of independents, and 64 percent of Democrats. And the issue polls slightly better with women than men (77 percent vs. 73 percent) making it an opportunity for Republicans to close the gender gap.

Republicans take note: voters across the political spectrum have woken up to the dangers of relying on foreign supply chains for critical products. There is a growing realization that national security includes not just military technology but also self-sufficiency in the basic necessities of life.

If we're going to make America Great again (which would be a really good slogan now), let's do that with Americans.

Favoring get-started tax incentives for small businesses (less than 50 employees, not 500) could help. Give a boost to the mom and pop operations that form the real base  of the economic pyramid. Push for limits on the sort of obstructionist environmental lawsuits which have, again, not only halted the Keystone XL pipeline, but any oil and gas pipeline in the country subject to the same requirements, from one bench, over the ACoE not getting together with the FWS about the ESA in the permitting process. In the meantime belly-dump drivers will not be making the $25/hour advertised on bookace...and a host of others will remain unemployed...again...more...still.

Clearing the road of the snarls of red tape and litigation designed to bankrupt companies before they get started would go a long way to bringing jobs and manufacturing and mining and minerals processing back to the USA, a big part of why many of those jobs left.

No, HE won't. That part is up to us.
If he can get the Government out of the way, We can get a good start.

What's "laughable" is your reading comprehension.

His resume says that he can do what nobody on the planet thought possible...create one of the best times across the board in our nation's history, in THREE YEARS.

Imagine what he can do with 4-1/2 years?

Fair enough.

Letting mom & pop startups off the hook for various federal regulations for a limited period would be a great help and wouldn't cost the government much revenue at all. Exempting them from ADA & Title III requirements alone would in many cases make a world of difference.

So he's obviously an amalgam of Carnegie, Ford and Morgan. Why of course!
