D.L. Gardner: Trump Governs the Nation Well

The Democrats, media, and others suffering with Trump Derangement Syndrome are drowning attempting to extricate themselves from their own clever plans to beat President Trump.

Their shenanigans began during the 2016 race for president. At the beginning of that race none of the cool kids believed Donald J. Trump had any shot at winning the GOP candidacy against 12 other contenders. In fact, many in the Democrat party hoped Trump would win the nomination. After all, he had never run for office and knew nothing about the rough and tumble of back-room politics.

After Trump won the nod for the GOP nomination, opposition forces scurried to scour for scandals and other disqualifying factors to bring him down early.

Hillary Clinton had been voted “Next In Line” for the Democrats. No doubt she would win regardless of opponent since she had been tapped by none other than King Obama himself.

Some crafty staffers in Hillary’s court believed Trump could be easily tripped up with exotic charges of international escapades. He was very rich. He loved many women. All they had to do was document his philandering.

They talked Hillary into buying an English spy for information he claimed came from reliable sources in Russia. All the stories bloomed out of what became the Steele Dossier. None were true.

The Russian Hoax played well for Democrats and the Deep State during Trump’s first term. He was hobbled by inside traitors and Deep State operatives, not to mention hostile media.

Joe Biden, the Democrat’s nominee in 2020, stayed in his basement and received enough votes to win the presidency. But Trump’s opposition didn’t stop there. It began with Democrat’s orchestrating an “insurrection” and continuing with four years of the worst administration and president in history.

During the 2024 campaign Democrats and their kin flailed like fish out of water. They had no issues, no policies, or no positions to attract voters. Their one shot was TDS, and they blasted that mantra with lies and innuendos.

The first six months of President Trump’s second term has established his administration solidly as the best in the history of America. Therein lies the challenge.

Things have been going swimmingly for President Trump and his administration. So far TAW. Trump Always Wins. Not that the opposition hasn’t stopped trying to divide Americans and ruin America.

The past two weeks Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard has declassified enough intelligence regarding the Russia-Hoax to sink a battleship. It’s been too much for the usual opposition to handle, and they switched their attention to Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual enterprises.

The themes behind the Steele Dossier and Jeffrey Epstein scandals are not coincidental. Democrats and TDS folks have demanded total transparency of all things Epstein in hope of catching President Trump in their net.

Last week Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche interviewed Epstein’s partner Ghislaine Maxwell, for ten hours over two days, asking specifically about more than 100 named individuals. Maxwell’s lawyer David Markus said she “answered every single question asked of her over the last day and a half.”

Very suddenly, Democrats and media stopped asking for transparency. They are terrified of Maxwell’s testimony. Bless their hearts.

Apparently President Trump knows a lot about the rough and tumble of back-room politics. He continues to run the nation well.

Enough Please !

D L loves Trump. We understand.

But does that seriously justify a weekly article mindlessly repeating Trump world talking points ( sometimes bolstered by impenetrable convoluted biblical analogies ) ??!!

In reality, the economy is trending worse, Gabbard misrepresented information, and Israel is becoming an international pariah.

Is Trump Derangement Syndrome real? Possibly. But the other side of that psychological malady coin is Trump Blindness Syndrome. As much as some hate Trump blindly, an equal number seem to adore him blindly. Neither is good for America.

President Donald Trump’s firing of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Friday afternoon just after she delivered a negative jobs report echoes the impulse of many leaders to shoot the messenger.
While Trump may or may not be friends with Vladimir Putin, he is clearly following the Russian President’s HR staffing guidelines to eliminate lieutenants who bring bad news.

For those people who find it difficult to understand how seemingly intelligent populations have throughout human history fallen for dictators and tyrants the next few years will be instructive. Hopefully our democratic institutions will prove strong enough to withstand our unwitting support for the formation of a monarchy.

I'm so confused. Is he a monarch? A dictator? What happened to the oligarchy? Are we back to fascist yet? The left likes to throw them all out there when in reality, our representative republic is chugging along and working as designed. Dolts.

DL apparently doesn't read or comprehend the economic reports or compare them with EU. Our Gross Domestic Product ( GDP) decreased. Personal income decreased (DPI). Our international deficit widened by 44.3 percent for starters. That's not the report from the fired Labor statistics person who couldn't conjure up enough new jobs. Our losses are becoming EU's investment gains. Trump seems not to know The White House isn't intended to look like palace or a commercial club. Maybe he can park golf carts on the ugly concrete slab so guests won't have to walk to the new architecturally inconsistent ballroom. I hope the glue can be removed from marble and the gold paint from now extinct American Walnut antiques! Those of us who've been in the White House Ballroom know why larger won't be better. It's not a restaurant. You want guests to mingle not to MAT ( Make America Tacky)

This is what genuine TDS looks like. Take some meds. Trump pwn’d you people so hard you will grouse about anything. Obama and Michelle literally turned the White House into a stinking Section 8 house. Trump never got a chance to get the certain smell out before Pedo Joe and Cocaine Hunter moved in and turned it to a crackhouse. So it is taking a lot of effort to get that offensive smell of democrackheads out of the White House.

Trump is rubbing off on you guys, if someone disagrees with you , your first line of defense is an insult. A sure sign that one can not intellectually dispute the arguments presented.

The USD will not be reserve currency forever, the current corruption and grift is quickening the move away from America. Hard assets like land, real estate, precious metals plus the skills, knowledge and experience will be future capital.

Trump's challenge is simply identifying those who will adhere to his every whim and eliminating those who won't. That's it. That's it. Call it something else, but That's it. Gardner gets it.

Your deceit has an MSNBC smell to it. She was fired because of the inaccurate reporting of the number of new jobs.

I asked google ….
Evidence suggests that the economy, based on various metrics, has performed better under Democratic presidents compared to Republican presidents since World War II.
Here's a breakdown:
GDP Growth: Real GDP growth has been faster under Democratic administrations, averaging 3.79% annually versus 2.60% under Republicans, a difference of 1.2 percentage points. Some analyses suggest this translates to Democrats overseeing 1.6 times faster growth on average.
Job Creation: Democrats have seen an average job creation rate of 1.7% per year compared to 1.0% under Republicans. This translates to roughly 2.4 million more jobs per year under Democratic administrations.
Recessions: Out of the 11 recessions since World War II, 10 began under Republican presidents. Some researchers highlight a trend where growth rates decrease when a Democrat is followed by a Republican, and increase when a Republican is followed by a Democrat.
Manufacturing: Manufacturing job growth has also been greater under Democratic presidents, with manufacturing investment surging under the Biden-Harris administration.
However, it is important to acknowledge that:
Multiple Factors Influence the Economy: Many factors influence the economy beyond presidential policies, such as global economic trends, demographics, and the actions of the Federal Reserve.
Republicans Emphasize Different Priorities: Republicans often prioritize tax cuts, deregulation, and reduced government spending to stimulate economic growth. For example, the 2024 Republican Party Platform states a commitment to "unleashing American Energy, reining in wasteful spending, cutting excessive Regulations, securing our Borders, and restoring Peace through Strength" to restore prosperity and economic security. However, studies suggest that tax cuts don't always result in the economic boost claimed by Republicans.

It is ironic That President Trump writes on his blog titled “Truth Social “ yet lies as easy as breathing, not comprehending that his facts can be checked for accuracy.

I found it hard to believe you would dare to use the AP after all their years of running cover for HAMAS. I guess that shows us where you stand.

Are you too ignorant to understand that democrat presidents spend more, therefore the economy does better, but only because of the spending of the government? Government spending is not growing the economy.

@3:17 - name the last Republican administration that had a balanced budget. Are you too ignorant to understand that politicians lie about their intentions? You would rather vote in someone that will spend just as much as the democrats, but lie about their intentions to do so? It’s beginning to make sense why we are in this mess.

D.L., you poor old brainwashed thing. I am a Republican, but I have sense enough to know that your Trump is piece by piece and step by stupid step, destroying everything American! Please, just shut up and watch. Hopefully you and others still hanging on to the decision you made, will finally open your eyes. Most importantly that our members of Congress and our Supreme Court stop him from his dictatorial behavior before it is truly too late to save us!

@3:17 - that’s just not true. Both spend wildly although. The difference is where they spend. Democrats tend to focus on social programs for the working class while Republicans tend to spend on tax breaks for the ultra wealthy and the military. Ever heard of trickle down economics? It apparently isn’t effective at stimulating economic growth, although few on the right will admit this.

@8:48 - there’s nothing wrong with being a moderate. It sucks the government has been taken over by extremists. Trump has done a great job of making himself money since he’s been president, but there’s no other victories there. He’s tanking the economy, stirring up tensions internationally, and destroying our entire system of government. He’s the most radical president we’ve ever had, there’s nothing conservative about it.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
