Why Trump still matters.

It’s hard for Democrats, members of the elite media and Republican Never-Trumpers to argue that Trump’s presidency wasn’t a policy success.

It starts at school.

Even though information on any topic is readily available with the tap of a finger, the American populace is both less informed and simultaneously more misinformed than at any time in the last century.

Subsidizing idleness.

U.S. economic policy has arrived at the place where able-bodied people are making the dollars and cents determination that they are better off staying at home collecting unemployment benefits than they would be if they got up and went to work.

Everything comes at a price.

Appropriate policy occupies some indeterminable spot on a continuum between taking no special action whatsoever on one extreme and completely stopping all industry, commerce and interpersonal transactions on the other.

It is the economy, stupid.

Do anyone honestly believe that a Hillary Clinton economy – or even a Jeb Bush economy – would be rolling like this one is?

What if he succeeds?

Those making predictions of a failed Trump presidency would do well to remember their predictions about his “doomed” candidacy.
