Any of that talk of impeachment still wandering through the hallowed halls of the Congress?<\/p>\n
The author of the National Review article gives us good, hard, solid reasons for the unlikely possibility that Trump will face impeachment charges, despite the howling in the outer darkness, and why such a move would be distinctly unwise. I think he spares no one, including Trump, for faults that are public knowledge,<\/p>\n
For example, this paragraph makes Trump\u2019s popularity clear:\u00a0 \u201cHad Trump misled his base and not fulfilled his campaign promises, he would have little popular support. Had he tanked the economy and started a war, he would be polling in the 20s rather than the mid to lower 40s.\u201c<\/p>\n
https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/2018\/08\/donald-trump-impeachment-unlikely-unwise\/<\/a><\/p>\n I\u2019ve said this before, as have others, including the author of the article:\u00a0 \u201cThe startling fact is that a so-called buffoonish real-estate developer hit upon a calculus to restore robust economic growth in a way that all the degreed experts of the prior (Obama) administration had not.\u201d<\/p>\n Yesterday, I referred to the sluggish return of the markets under Obama\u2019s administration as an anemic 1404.84 average per year over a period of eight years. I also said that once the 2016 election results were announced and confirmed, the markets rose rapidly from a DJIA 18,847.63 on 11\/7\/2016, to an all-time high of 26,616,71 on 1\/22\/2018, a difference of 7,769.11 points in about 14 months. That is not a fluke. The markets reflect the economy and both continue to stabilize and improve under Trump. The so-called blue collar sector views Trump as a positive response to what had become an economy that was, at best, sluggish and weak under bodaprez.<\/p>\n The DJIA reached another high 26,124.57 on 8\/29\/18 and maintains a steady growth rate. There may be a ceiling to the markets, but it has not been speculated on thus far.<\/p>\n Politifact tried to claim that Obama had the better record by comparing those eight years of his slacker, self-involved governance to Trump\u2019s 22 months. This is a false comparison and does not work. You cannot legitimately compare 22 months in office with 8 years, and expect any reaction other than laughter at this attitude. And furthermore, employment opportunities during Obama\u2019s administration were sluggish at best, nearly nonexistent at their worst. Under Trump, employment has picked up graphically, as the author indicates. Unemployment is at an anemic low now of 3.9% since April and may go lower. During the Obama administration, it was as high as 10% in 2009, a level that stirred mutterings of another Great Depression.\u00a0 The chart to refer to is at this link: https:\/\/data.bls.gov\/timeseries\/LNS14000000<\/a><\/p>\n I have to add here that Franklin Roosevelt started the government sponsored work programs CCC, WPA, and PWA, as a response to the demands of the War Bond veterans who were desperate for money. He put them to work at a time when people needed jobs more than anything else. The CCC workers at the people who put the national parks into place. You can thank them for Yellowstone, Yosemite, and various other national parks that might be housing developments now.<\/p>\n The National Review article is worth your time and full attention. The author includes the Never Trumpers, who were ostensibly conservatives who didn\u2019t like Trump, although I view them not as conservatives but as Mugwumps (look that up) who would approve of Gerrymandering if it suited their needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
