Even With Bumps In The Road, President Donald Trump Continues To Roll
Washington Times, Feb 16, 2017, Kelly Ridell
***
On the domestic front, Mr. Trump has o been busy.
He’s signed executive orders reducing regulatory burdens within the federal bureaucracy and Obamacare, has frozen federal hiring, pulled out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, approved the Keystone XL and Dakota Access oil pipelines, outlined a plan to review the Dodd-Frank banking legislation, laid out spending plans for the Mexico border wall, strengthened White House ethics rules and temporarily suspended immigration from seven terrorist-ridden countries.
Meanwhile, Congress is using the Congressional Review Act to repeal many Obama-era regulations that undercut economic growth.
Mr. Trump has announced a campaign rally in Florida — and this is a good thing. He needs to start highlighting his accomplishments to the people who elected him, as the news media surely isn’t going to do it. Reconnecting with his base will also be good therapy for Mr. Trump, as he thrives off the crowd’s energy. Mr. Trump knows his only responsibility is to that of his voters.
The news media and Washington establishment will continue to feed off the scandals and leaks, and try to ruin Mr. Trump. This will go on for at least four more years.
And it’s OK. As Rush Limbaugh continues to say, the news media didn’t make Mr. Trump and therefore it can’t take him down. Although the road so far has been bumpy, Mr. Trump will continue to roll.

Do rolls come with the Meatloaf?
Christie: Trump made me order meatloaf at White House dinner
By Caitlin Yilek (@hausofcait) • 2/16/17 8:52 PM
Chris Christie says President Trump made him order meatloaf when the New Jersey governor and his wife, Mary Pat, had dinner at the White House on Tuesday.
Trump told his dinner guests that they could order whatever they wanted off the menu, then said he and Christie would be eating the meatloaf.
''This is what it's like to be with Trump,'' Christie said on a New York sports talk radio show Thursday, the Boston Globe reported. ''He says, 'There's the menu, you guys order whatever you want.' And then he says, 'Chris, you and I are going to have the meatloaf.'''
Trump told Christie "the meatloaf is fabulous."
