My former boss Roger Kimball (back when I used to write for PJ Media), at American Greatness yesterday:
Tariffs were supposed to be the stupid Trump idea that was going to eviscerate the stock market and crash the U.S. economy. A couple of days ago, Canada joined the long list of countries to drop its retaliatory tariffs in order to curry favor with Trump. Friday, the DOW logged an 840-point gain, closing above 45,600.
And not being covered at all in the left-wing media is the CBO report that Trump’s tariffs are projected to lower the deficits by some four trillion US Dollars. This CBO report would seem to punch a hole in the Never-Trumper narrative.
The economy isn’t the only area of a roaring success, of course. Kimball continues:
Meanwhile, in the continuing saga of “no one is above the law,” John Bolton, National Security Advisor (for a while) in Trump’s first term, was awakened early Friday morning by an FBI raid. What were they looking for? Classified documents, perhaps those containing the sensitive information that showed up in his anti-Trump book, The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir. Back in August 2022, after Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump’s Palm Beach home, was raided by the FBI, Bolton tsk-tsked that “There is no evidence there is a partisan motive here. I think everybody just ought to calm down, whether you’re pro-Trump or anti-Trump, and let the process work its way through.” I hope some high-minded mouthpiece from the fourth estate will ask Bolton if he stands by that advice.
Yeah, I tend to doubt it. The Democrats…. and the Democrat lite, known more popularly as the Deep State, or the Establishment Never Trumper GOP…. as ably represented by Bolton will too, I doubt not.
The most interesting tidbit from Friday’s long list of events, however, was the news that Bolton is merely the first in a longish list of investigations that will be occurring in the near future. James Comey, is widely held to be the next to be under the magnifying glass.
And of course the Democrats are screaming that this is about revenge, apparently (and quite predictably) forgetting their battle cry of “Nobody is above the law”.
Add to this, the dramatically lower crime rates as a direct result of Trump’s takeover of the Police in DC as I mentioned here the other day, and it’s clear Trump has been winning non-stop. And the Never Trumpers are losing what laughingly passes for their minds over it.
