With his trademark energies pent up for four years, the newly-returned President Donald Trump has launched an astounding number of important initiatives in less than two weeks. This rapidly fulfills many vows from the longest presidential campaign in U.S. history.
It should be an exciting time for most Americans after Joe Biden's worsening incapacitation seemed to leave so many of the nation's important issues and concerns unattended and gathering dust up in Aunt Flossie's attic.
Trump's executive energy is like an elixir, for the nation. He has taken so many actions that it's impossible for anyone to keep up, though I have tried to analyze them in two separate pieces here and here.
The underlying strategy of this flood of activity by No. 47 and and his hearty band of loyalists have been much less noted.
The importance, the volume, the scale, and the speed of Trump's many actions have overwhelmed would-be critics, which is to say Democrats and legacy media. They don't have the manpower or resources available to combat every single initiative.
Thus, many are likely to skate through easier than if the skilled businessman-turned-politician rolled them out over a span of many months.
Opponents will have to select their targets carefully. Which, I believe, is the point behind Trump's policy tsunami. One example would be ending birthright citizenship.
That loudly-proclaimed goal speaks to the widespread belief of many Americans that too many foreign immigrants enter the country to give birth and, essentially, get that family automatic U.S. citizenship without the long, legal process required for vetting and gaining citizenship.
That's a proven process that millions have undertaken and passed throughout our history. And that's a process that the Biden-Harris syndicate undermined by willfully allowing some 10 million illegals to enter the country unhindered, unvetted, and untracked during their reign.
At the moment, ending that constitutional provision appears impossible, certainly not during the relatively brief period of a single presidential term. And then there's the Supreme Court.
Amending the Constitution requires a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress, which is most unlikely given the narrow GOP majorities in both, and ratification by three-quarters of the states.
Given the country's contemporary polarization, it's unlikely 37 states could agree on a national pie, let alone ending birthright citizenship. So, Trump's opposition will likely occupy itself with that, which is a lost legal cause anyway.
This week's audio commentary examines something that pretty much everyone might agree on, everyone, that is, except Anthony Fauci.
It all happened so fast. What did President Trump actually get underway during those first furious 100 hours, and why? Those were the subjects of analysis in this week's Sunday column.
A recent audio commentary looked at the quiet, ongoing spread of the Woke cancer, which is why the opening steps of the new presidential administration to squash it are so welcome and urgent.
Finally, ICYMI, we posted another in the ongoing series of Malcolm Memories.
