Donald Trump has been inaugurated as president of the United States. I am optimistic about some aspects of his presidency, and I am quite worried about other aspects.
I am optimistic about getting RFK Jr. in a position where he can have at least some influence on truly making America healthier. Even if he just recommends not drinking fluoridated water, limiting processed foods, and getting enough Vitamin D, that will be a big improvement without any legislation or executive orders.
I am mildly optimistic that the weaponization of the “Justice” Department will be curtailed. I don’t expect permanent changes, but I do think there will be more attention given to the evils of this department and the spy agencies. I know Tulsi Gabbard has backtracked on going against surveillance, but I do think there is hope that she is just trying to get confirmed so that she can ultimately make a difference.
I am also somewhat optimistic that Trump will get some kind of peace negotiation with Russia and Ukraine. I don’t expect a drastic change in foreign policy, but it might at least be good enough that the biggest atrocities come to an end.
I am worried about Trump’s talk of taking back the Panama Canal, buying Greenland, and making Canada the 51st state. I don’t even know that any of it will happen. I think he is just trolling about Canada. Still, this was not something he talked about on the campaign trail, so it makes him look really bad that he is pursuing these ideas. It also makes it much more difficult to defend him against the left when they say he wants to be dictator and take over the world.
One thing Trump did talk about in his campaign was tariffs, and he is stilling talking about them. I am worried this will just make prices higher. When recession hits on Trump’s watch, he will get the blame because of his stupid tariffs. He should be getting the blame for the massive spending in 2020 with the COVID hysteria.
With all that said, the biggest reason to cheer for Trump getting into office is the leaving Biden administration.
The Biden Legacy
Joe Biden likely has some kind of dementia. But he is still with it enough to continue to pursue his evil policies of chaos and destruction. He is responsible even if his handlers were putting things on his desk to sign and writing speeches for him to say.
The list of horrible things over the last four years is long. Four years ago, I never could have imagined just how bad Biden would be.
He helped provoke the war in Ukraine, starting when he was vice president. He could have prevented the war in 2021 just by talking with Putin and giving some assurances to Russia. Biden continued to support and fund the evil Zelensky to perpetuate the war all the way to the end of Biden’s presidency.
Biden weaponized the “Justice” Department not just against Trump, but against Trump supporters. He helped in the parade of lies surrounding January 6th, 2021 by making it sound like police officers died at the hand of protesters when it was just the opposite. There were multiple people who died that day because of the Capitol police. The Trump supporters were duped into going into the Capitol that day. At most, most of them should have been charged with trespassing and slapped with a fine. Instead, hundreds of people remain in jail based on lies. This was all from Biden and his handlers.
Biden gave us more COVID hysteria with mask mandates and vaccine mandates. His illegal and immoral executive orders tried to force about 100 million Americans to get jabbed. If they did not comply, they risked losing their job and not being able to support their families. And all of it was based on Biden’s continued lies about how if you get vaccinated then you can’t get COVID, you can’t die, you can spread it, etc.
Biden signed the Tik Tok ban into law, which capped his war against free speech. His administration ordered social media companies to censor information on the basis of fact checking. It had nothing to do with fact checking. It had to do with censoring anything that went against the official narrative.
Biden arbitrarily ordered the forgiveness of student loans, even though he had no authority to do so. Even after it was struck down in court, he still kept trying to do it in slightly different ways.
Biden declared war against MAGA. He didn’t just go after Trump. He gave a speech with a red, ominous background talking about the dangers of MAGA. This must have been the first time ever that a sitting president declared war against tens of millions of people who supported his opponent.
Maybe Biden will be remembered as a bumbling fool. But in spite of his incompetence at times, we shouldn’t think his presidency was one of incompetence. It was one of pure evil. He purposely lied on a continuous basis about anything of significance, and his policies were put in place to stoke fear, chaos, and destruction. He should be left to rot in a jail cell for the rest of his days, but for now we’ll have to settle for him leaving the scene in Washington DC.
We don’t know what Trump will bring and what chaos the establishment will bring against him. Whatever you might say about Trump, I don’t think he hates America and human civilization the way Biden does.
