The name of this blog is Pink’s Politics. The name comes from my high school nick-name “Pink” which was based on my then last name. That is the only significance of the word “pink” here and anyone who attempts to add further or political meaning to it is just plain wrong.

Save the Country from What? The Democrats!


Today I read that Eric Swalwell states that “Impeachment is the only way to save the country.”  We hear this sentiment coming from the mouths of most Democrats these days.  The ever-increasing mob of Democrat candidates seem to all center their campaign on the argument that in order to save us all, President Trump must be removed; if not we are all doomed.

I would like to ask just exactly what we must save ourselves from.  What are the horrible things that the President is doing for the Country?  Let me list just a few of what he has accomplished despite being under constant attack since taking office:

            -Almost 4 million jobs created since election.
-More Americans are now employed than ever recorded before in our history.  
-Manufacturing jobs growing at the fastest rate in more than three decades.  Over 400,000 manufacturing jobs since Trump’s election.
-Economic growth last quarter hit 4.2 percent.
-New unemployment claims recently hit a 49-year low.
-Median household income has hit highest level ever recorded.
-African-American unemployment has recently achieved the lowest rate ever recorded.
-Hispanic-American unemployment is at the lowest rate ever recorded.
-Asian-American unemployment recently achieved the lowest rate ever recorded.
-Women’s unemployment recently reached the lowest rate in 65 years.
-Youth unemployment has recently hit the lowest rate in nearly half a century.
-Lowest unemployment rate ever recorded for Americans without a high school diploma.
-Veterans’ unemployment recently reached its lowest rate in nearly 20 years.
-Almost 3.9 million Americans have been lifted off food stamps since the election.
-The Pledge to America’s Workers has resulted in employers committing to train more than 4 million Americans. The current Administration is committed to vocational education.
-95 percent of U.S. manufacturers are optimistic about the future—the highest ever.
-Retail sales surged last month, up another 6 percent over last year.
-Signed package of tax cuts and reforms. After tax cuts, over $300 billion poured back in to the U.S. in the first quarter alone.
-As a result of Trump’s tax bill, small businesses will have the lowest top marginal tax rate in more than 80 years.
-Enacted regulatory relief for community banks and credit unions.
-Obamacare individual mandate penalty gone.
- Trump administration is providing more affordable healthcare options for Americans through association health plans and short-term duration plans.
-Last month, the FDA approved more affordable generic drugs than ever before in history. Many drug companies are also freezing or reversing planned price increases.
-Reformed the Medicare program to stop hospitals from overcharging low-income seniors on their drugs—saving seniors hundreds of millions of dollars this year alone.
-Signed Right-To-Try legislation.
-Secured $6 billion in NEW funding to fight the opioid epidemic.   Reduced high-dose opioid prescriptions by 16 percent during first year in office.
-Signed VA Choice Act and VA Accountability Act, expanded VA telehealth services, walk-in-clinics, and same-day urgent primary and mental health care.
-Withdrew the United States from the job-killing and otherwise ineffective Paris Climate Accord.
-Cancelled the illegal, anti-coal, so-called Clean Power Plan.
-Secured record $700 billion in military funding; $716 billion next year.
-NATO allies are spending $69 billion more on defense since 2016.
-Withdrew from the horrible, one-sided Iran Deal.
-Moved U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.
-Protecting Americans from terrorists with the Travel Ban, upheld by Supreme Court.
-Concluded a historic U.S.-Mexico Trade Deal to replace NAFTA. And negotiations with Canada are underway.
-Reached a breakthrough agreement with the E.U. to increase U.S. exports.
-Imposed tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum to protect our national security.
-Imposed tariffs on China in response to China’s forced technology transfer, intellectual property theft, and their chronically abusive trade practices.
-Net exports are on track to increase by $59 billion this year.

This list could go on and on. 

The list of accomplishments looks pretty good to most Americans.  It certainly does not look like something from which we need to save the country. 

The list does not look so good to Democrats who tried for years to make America great again but failed miserably.  It probably embarrasses them that Trump, the man they love to hate, succeeded where they failed.  Perhaps that is why their colleagues in the main stream media rarely report on these and other accomplishments, but rather focus on the ways to destroy Trump and with him his powerful Administration and its many positive results for the Country. 

So from what exactly do the Democrats think the country needs saving?  Anyone who loves this Country, including Democrats, should be cheering at America’s successes.  But, instead, the Democrats tell us we need to save the Country.  “From what?” I ask.  The only possible answer that comes to mind is “from the Democrats” who would save us from our successes just for their own lust for power.  This is something that I hope every voter remembers and for which every citizen holds his or her elected officials accountable.
