I don’t care for Trump’s personality or style.But as far as delivering on–or at least trying to deliver on–his campaign promises, I’m a big fan.If Trump hadn’t done one other thing, the fact that he gave us three high-quality jurists for the Supreme Court–and conservative ones at that–is enough to justify four years of stress.But he went a LOT further than that….1. He moved the embassy to Jerusalem–something no other president had DARED to do, including Reagan himself. That may not matter to others, but to Christians, who to a large degree have common cause with the Israelis (and they certainly never had better friends than conservative Christians), it matters greatly.2. By moving the embassy, Trump sent a strong signal to the Palestinians that they no longer held veto power over every peace initiative in Israel. Basically, it was a signal that said to get on board, because the train is pulling out without you, if you don’t.3. I don’t know just how it works, but during Trump’s tenure, three Muslim countries recognized Israel. And yesterday I read that Saudi Arabia and Israel have begun high-level talks. It’s my view that when they saw the Palestinians had been stared down by Trump, they realized that they no longer had to play nice with whatever the Palestinians said (due to their typical support of the Palestinians).4. Trump slapped around Kim Jong-un…then embraced him, pulling off a breathtaking opening to North Korea. No, it’s not borne much fruit yet, but it has to begin somewhere. And over half-a-century of failed policy was finally upended by Trump. If nothing else, Trump TRIED something different.5. Best US economy in DECADES.6. Best Black unemployment numbers EVER.7. Then, despite the liberal press taking unprecedented and unrelenting aim at Trump every day for four years, despite the evil Democrats doing all they could to wreck Trump, including an impeachment that didn’t have a chance and was without merit (the Mueller investigation coming back with the belief that allegations of collusion could not be supported to a conviction), despite civil and racial unrest, despite the pandemic, despite the deeply challenged economy due to the pandemic, TRUMP STILL ALMOST WON!!!Make no mistake, Trump and Biden were not running on the same footing. Biden was given unprecedent support by the liberal press, who refused to even delve into the Hunter Biden emails, all while publishing every whisper of scandal when it involved Trump. Trump had been bashed for four years, Biden got a free ride from most of the press. And yet Trump almost gave the Democrats a coronary on election night!!! Had there been almost any change at all in how the press treated Trump, it seems likely he would have won outright. As it is, I consider it a moral victory, if not a literal one. But like I said, just the new SCOTUS justices made it worthwhile to have Trump in office. He did his best, it seems, to deliver what he had promisted.
