MAYBE the coming November 3 election will herald four more years of the incumbent president or otherwise usher in a new leader of the most powerful nation on earth. Maybe the electoral college will choose to continue today’s America-first regime that brought in a wave of prosperity, biggest tax cuts, least government regulations, restoring sanity to the borders, and historic low numbers of the unemployed in all job sectors. True, much of that prosperity tanked out with the lock-downs occasioned by the pernicious China virus but compared with Joe Biden’s non-accomplishments in the 47 years he had been a top honcho in government, there is much more hope in a Trump continuing ascendancy especially occasioned by the signs of a resurgent economy that even now belie naysayers.
One of former President Obama’s best-remembered official acts of state was going around the world apologizing for alleged US “misdeeds” that stands in stark contrast to President Trump’s championing of American exceptionalism. Obama is also remembered for having airlifted planeloads of cash to Iran, then and now considered the No. 1 state sponsor of terrorism, that according to Sen. Mark Kirk, citing figures of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, “released to Iran as much as $33.6 billion in cash and precious metals to Iran. That is enough cash to circle the Earth four times in $100 bills. That is enough cash for Iran to fund Hezbollah terrorists for 168 years at the current funding levels.”
Also, something that has been seared in our collective minds are the images of ISIS atrocities that include the burning in cages or decapitating the heads of their Christian captives. “By the end of Obama’s second term, December of 2016,” writes Thomas Del Beccaro in Forbes citing CNN: “the self-proclaimed Islamic State has conducted or inspired more than 140 terrorist attacks in 29 countries other than Iraq and Syria, where its carnage has taken a much deadlier toll. Those attacks have killed at least 2,043 people and injured thousands more.” Trump’s presidency ended the ISIS terror.
Obama pivoted towards the best interests of his fellow Muslims and did much to antagonize the only democratic country in the Middle East: Israel. An Israel that is surrounded by belligerent Muslim and Arab countries, many of them having invaded in bloody combats the tiny Jewish state in past years. Obama’s antagonism was verbalized by his Secretary of State John Kerry in remarks on Middle East peace at the Department of State in Washington: “There will be no advanced and separate peace with the Arab world without the Palestinian process and Palestinian peace. Everybody needs to understand that. That is the hard reality… No, no, no and no.”
The Age of Trump has done much to restore from the decline of the international US prestige during the Obama-Biden-Kerry triumvirate. That sounds like an iteration of what Obama famously proclaimed that Trump would require a magic wand to bring back many of the jobs his incumbency lost. Trump brought about the recent peace agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) and between Israel and Bahrain. Also signed at the White House a few days ago is the big deal Serbia-Kosovo agreement. One can only imagine the enormous peace, security, and advancement that the people in those regions will enjoy from now on. It is only fitting that Trump and the other leaders involved in the peace processes are nominated to receive the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize.
