Trump has reduced regulations on businesses.
@skeeter That's a great example. I will accept that he has reduced regulations for the sake of the argument.
How many? How much?
Last I heard it was 500 to 1000 statutes in a field of regulatory law that would fill a large library.
Now, I might be off by some, because I quit paying attention to it more than a year ago, BUT:
Is that worthy of the victory lap?
No, that's hardly worth a mention. It's a fart in a windstorm.
But Tumpy gets a victory lap and all the people shout 'WOOHOO!'
Can I get a witness?
Absolutely ALL of it is inflated just like that.
He has adapted a more 'America First' foreign policy than we've had in years.
According to whom, and by what definition? How is that verified?
He has used the recommendations of more or less conservative think tanks to fill judicial vacancies.
Eh... I would like to know why Jim DeMint (who is the actual Conservative who headed Heritage Foundation) stepped down before the fact...
And I am being kind to say the results on judges has been mixed.
He has reduced corporate taxes.
That much IS true, and hurray for him. Credit where its due.
But in the larger field of fiscal policy, not so much. Tariffs and crazy insane levels of spending offset whatever credit I could give him. More than anything else, to call him fiscally conservative is just a damn lie.
And most importantly, to me, is he has begun resisting the military interventionist impulse of the globalist faction of the GOP.
How much longer can you say that with him sabre rattling against Iran? Iran is obviously the next globalist target in the region. And he does not seem to be reigning back in Syria or Iraq... So I am legitimately more skeptical than you are in this regard.
Most consider policies like these conservative.
So would I, if they were true.
And that's the point.
