Trump is already the most successful U.S. president since Ronald Reagan
But no one relying on the Canadian media would be aware that he has more than doubled the economic growth rate, reduced illegal immigration by about 80 per cent, withdrawn from the insane Paris Climate accord, helped add trillions to U.S. stock market values, created nearly two million new jobs, led the rout of ISIL, and gained full Chinese adherence to the unacceptability of North Korean nuclear military capability. He will probably pass the greatest tax cuts and reforms since Reagan, if not Lyndon Johnson, by Christmas, and may throw out the most unpopular feature of Obamacare, the coercive mandate, with it.
And Black doesn’t even come close to the full list of achievements to date.
Most important achievement: destruction of the media’s credibility AND proving that the solution for consevatives is to fight back, not surrender.
Agreed. A pox on MSM.
Warning: Reading the post comment section will create nausea. Lefties crawling out of the wood work.
He can be a tiresome and implausible public figure at times …
So what?! What did America (let alone the “black” community) get after 8-years of slick, well-narrated, teleprompter speeches ?
Obamakkare FAIL
Iraq, Iran, Syria FAIL
Libya WAR FAIL
Economic malaise FAIL
Economic disparity FAIL
Illegal immigration FAIL
Rampant Muslim Terrorism FAIL
FAIL, FAIL, FAIL
I could CARE LESS if MY President is a slick communicator. Meh. That, and $3.00 will get you a cup of Starbucks special Holiday (not CHRISTMAS) blend.
The Media has been focused on heterosexual contact between consenting adults.. Why all the outrage that Men & women
may have silly batter including the trading of favors … The only logical reason is that it is the lesbian’s that are angry that men are hitting on their herd of ladies…This is territorial war…It’s not about RAPE or Physical violence.. Its hurt feelings about self worth, or not, and man hate.
Trump may have triggered Rossie that he & Howard Stern were going to hit on her lady.. Then she lost her lady
Trump has just started.. The Bush Republican establishment will GO in 2018.. Hopefully honest Americans will take the place of the crooks.. Middle of the road Democrats are better than the Mitch team..
The media, so called “mainstream” is despicable, pathetic, unpatriotic, disgusting and lying sychophant scumbags , now I’ll point out their flaws. Here in Canada,” moron central”, who obviously control all our print and airwave media have sent out stumbling orders to all their useful idiots, “Hate Trump” , does’nt matter if he cures cancer and shares his money, hate Trump, it is their only talking point and direction of every lie they spread, but when it comes to Justy, well, we must make every picture of Zoolander, “large and in charge” and don’t ask the dolt any questions harder than his choice of hair gel and selfie lighting preferences. Nothing pleases me more than the huge Calgary Herald building on Deerfoot with “for sale” on it for the last 10 years, I think they publish out of an unused room in a mini storage now, can’t happen soon enough for the rest of the liars in media.
Trump is EXTREMELY dangerous to the leftist (and GOPe) orthodoxy which insists that only “the intelligentsia” … and the “political class” can successfully govern all us deplorables. Each and every SUCCESS, however small, by MY President … destroys their entire belief system. Just as every black man or woman who succeeds in the white man’s capitalistic economic system is another argument against victimhood … so too, every WIN by MY novice President … undermines the foundation of their elitist lies.
So they RESIST. And flail. And DO ANYTHING to make My President … appear … to FAIL. From the length of Melania’s heels, to MY President’s “tiny hands” … the press and the elitists are DESPERATE to create the illusion of FAILURE. Desperate … because MY President is totally erasing every word of their manifesto. Each and every WIN … exposes their LIES.
So what?! What did America (let alone the “black” community) get after 8-years of slick, well-narrated, teleprompter speeches ?
Fairness. Because he told us that’s what it’s all about.
So his idea of fairness led to an influx of “dreamers”, increased racial hostility (courtesy of a certain notorious political movement), and increased Islamization of his country.
Yup, sounds fair to me.
Good article by Black. I always learn something when reading Conrad Black. I trust his judgement. Those comments, though, are beyond the pale. Many of the people posting are incredibly ignorant — and some of those people are downright hateful. How much longer do we have to hear nasty comments regarding Black’s prison term from people who have never even looked at his case? These would likely be many of the same individuals who have not problem paying terrorists off with millions. I don’t do Facebook so cannot comment at the sight. So demoralizing, however, to encounter so many petty people, most of whom could not hold a candle to Black in terms of knowledge or intelligence. It tells me what I need to know about why this country is being lead by buffons.
Black knows of what he writes when referring to the corrupt US “justice system”. He also is spot on when it comes to Canadian media which is unreadable and unwatchable.
Right! Fairness … making sure “everyone has a shot” at the American Dream. A flood of illegals pouring into our country to “do the jobs that Americans just prefer blacks not do.”
Unchecked, intentional, unbridled, Immigration is the most REGRESSIVE political policy possible for the “black community”
Hey lance, maybe you can make a list of the bad things you said about Trump you have said in 2015-16.
I didn’t think Trump was conservative enough, nor that he would withstand the Dem, MSM and RINO onslaught. After Ann Coulter endorsed him I figured I’d take her word on the matter (much to the chagrin of a number of my Fakebook friends).
Trump’s greatest achievement is in preventing a civil war.
A laughable list of things that Trump simply happened to be president when they occurred. Black is an idiot who seriously thinks FDR was a great president.
The increase in jobs and GDP are just continuations of trends that were set before Trump even took power. Same with the collapse of ISIS. Trump’s only solid positive achievements to date are leaving Paris and appointing Gorsuch and some other good justices.
Also, linking to Conservapedia is a ‘jump the shark moment’. You don’t get to tut-tut the MSM when you do that.
Your tears a frigging hilarious 🙂 LOL
Trump is even surpassing Harper to God-man status!!!!!
But where’s the god damned WALL??? I want a damned wall aaaaaand I know Trump will give me one……yahooooo.
Cannot tell if parody or actually retarded. The times we live in.
‘Cause the times they are deranging
Good column by Black. The Canadian media have learned nothing, the media lost in the US election, the same will happen here.
much like me, Ann has become disappointed in the president.
I had always considered Trump a pompous ass, never wasted time on his reality shows, interviews, lifestyle pieces, etc. I remember when I first learned he could be a serious threat to represent Republicans, my reaction was… “What? This guy is soo full of bullsh*t that he’s actually overqualified to be a politician!”
Ha, then I saw him in action. Being a lifelong student of marketing myself, I found raw sincerity in his love for his country mixed in with all the bombast.
Now, I tip my hat to him as as the greatest political figure of my time.
You see, unlike the hate-driven trolls that seem to infest Conservative blogs, I have no desire to live my life as a slave to globalist elitists OR Islam. What utter cowards these leftard pussies are.
Anyways, EVEN IF Trump had failed to beat Hilary, I still believe he has achieved remarkable successes that ultimately will have saved the US…. certainly conservatism….
He put the two-prong threat of Islam, terrorism and Sharia, front and center.
He outed the traitorous, subversive mainstream media for the ABSOLUTE SOULLESS LIARS that they all are.
He highlighted political correctness as a disease, not any kind of sensible modern moral code.
He drove home how illegal immigration and unprotected borders are kneecapping the middle class.
He put a spotlight on grotesque trade imbalances and the resulting revenue/job losses.
And, maybe most importantly of all, he outed the GOP as buddies of the DNC, thus disloyal to true American Conservatives.
There are more, but again, these are ALL solid accomplishments BEFORE he was even elected as president. AS for his performance since, only Dems could be so steeped in blind hypocrisy as to trip up Trump at every turn then point and laugh when he stumbles. Nothing but evil little haters, those leftards, no respect for Democracy or the choice of the people.
Way To Go, Trump!!! MAGAMAGAMAGAMAGAMAGAMAGAMAGAMAGAMAGAMAGAMAGAMAGAMAGAMAGAMAGAMAGAMAGAMAGAMAGAMAGAMAGAMAGAMAGAMAGA
“He drove home how illegal immigration and unprotected borders are kneecapping the middle class.

They aren’t and it isn’t. This is just economically illiterate malarky.
Trump did reveal how morally and intellectually bankrupt the right is though. That’s a huge service.
In 2008, I described Obama as “very scary”, and thought Hillary would have been less bad. Now I think that she has shown us over the past year that she’s ‘way scarier than Obama. I shudder to think of her as Pres.
Just like pre-PM Harper, you read the comments and the hatred directed at the U.S. is palpable. It reads “Trump”, but it’s the country in general that is despised.
I hate the CBC. I love Donald Trump.
I am seriously starting to think there is an epidemic of brainworm in Canada.
