Root: Trump Off to an Exceptionally Conservative Start

Up until now, Ronald Reagan was my favorite president in modern history. But President Trump has passed him in his first five days.

Trump makes Reagan look like he was standing in quicksand. Trump makes Reagan look like a slacker.

Trump is erasing Obama’s legacy as if his administration never existed.

I was honored to be opening speaker at each of Trump’s six events in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the past year. At each of these giant rallies I recited a “dream wish list” of everything Trump might do in his first term. Conservatives responded with wild applause and standing ovations for each line.

Then I said, “Trump will do all of that on Day One. Can you imagine what he’ll accomplish on his second day?”

The crowd roared with delight.

But I was half-joking. I was dreaming out loud. These were my wildest expectations. I was hoping and praying he might pass some of them in his first 100 days, or maybe his first year.

I never expected in my wildest dreams to be guilty of under-promising!

I was among the first to endorse Trump and predict his victory — over twenty months ago. I said repeatedly that he would be our generation’s Ronald Reagan. And that his “can-do” businessman’s attitude would make things happen — and fast.

But this is ridiculous.

It’s been five days and already my wish list is in place:

Trump has announced he plans to dramatically lower taxes.

Trump has announced he plans to cut 75 percent of regulations — and “maybe more.” Seventy-five percent!

Trump used executive orders to give the go-ahead to the long-stalled Keystone and Dakota Access Pipelines.

Trump erased all mentions on the White House website of climate change. He did that within one hour of taking the oath of office. Are you kidding me? This isn’t “can-do.” It’s “already done!”

Wednesday, Trump issued an executive order starting the construction of “the wall.” Liberals heads must be ready to explode.

He also announced the hiring of 5,000 new border agents.

He is expected to announce a temporary ban on refugees from Syria and Middle Eastern war zones.

He is expected to announce a ban on visas from dangerous countries with inadequate screening.

He has vowed the end of “sanctuary cities” and the federal defunding of any city that chooses to continue breaking the law.

Trump signed an executive order freezing the hiring of federal employees. He is the first president to figure out that government employees are busting the budget and bankrupting America with their obscene salaries and benefits, plus insane pensions.

Trump issued an executive order to “ease the burden of Obamacare” and as a bonus, made it clear to congressional Republicans he wants Obamacare repealed and replaced fast.

Trump said out loud the words “radical Islamic terrorism.” He did it in his inaugural speech — which means Trump did in his first 15 minutes what Obama would not do in eight long years.

Trump signed all these executive orders with the bust of Winston Churchill behind him — back in the Oval Office for the first time in eight years. If image is important and symbolic, this says everything. Trump is erasing Obama’s legacy as if his administration never existed.

Trump withdrew America from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) that would have killed middle-class American jobs.

Trump also announced he will renegotiate NAFTA in a matter of days.

The Trump State Department will begin an immediate review of Obama’s final hour giveaway of $220 million to the Palestinian Authority while Congress has a hold on the money.

Trump announced he’ll begin a major investigation into voter fraud in the 2016 election. He believes millions of illegal aliens voted.

Here’s my hint to President Trump: Start your investigation in my home state of Nevada. I believe the so-called “Harry Reid Machine” used thousands of illegal alien voters to steal the state from Trump and the GOP. Make Nevada your “test case.”

And I haven’t even mentioned that corporations across the globe have all publicly announced they are bringing jobs and billions of dollars of investment monies back to America because of President Trump. Many of those announcements came before Trump was even sworn in.

Simply amazing. Breathtaking. Head-spinning.

And all of this happened in Trump’s first five days. Even God rested on the seventh day.

Can you imagine what Trump will do starting in his second week?

For me, there is no longer any doubt: Donald Trump is already the greatest conservative president in history.
