Hands off. That’s Certainly not Trump.

These “Hands Off" protests…


It seems that the participants in the streets all argue that President Trump takes his "hands off" the U.S. government. That’s never going to happen. The world has had ample time to make the necessary changes and counter offers. They've known he was going to do this, since he hit the campaign trail two and a half years ago.


The protestors don’t seem to be in favor of stopping the Trump administration’s exposure of money laundering, fraud, and waste of their taxpayer money. Some of the protestors seem to believe Trump is something he wasn’t in his first term. Others came across as, well, unhinged.


Most, if not all, don’t seem to have a sense of the reality, should the US default on any of its $36 trillion in debt and in particular the $9 trillion maturing soon. They don’t seem to have any urgency or even any solutions to shrink government debt, which is running a $2 trillion a year deficit.


I get that economics is not in the lane of understanding of most. I get that it may be hard to see people lose jobs. Trump is doing something that nobody has done ever, at the same time. Massive deregulation. Massive tax cuts. Massive shrinkage of the federal government. Big tariffs. His goal is a prosperous middle class, which we don’t have today, and preventing an economic meltdown.


We have a Treasury Secretary now who’s highly respected. We have the best negotiator of all time at the helm. We have the smartest men and women on the planet identifying and cutting waste and fraud in government. But, we have politicians and others who are just “performing” and not talking solutions, because they’ve been the ones orchestrating the theft of your taxpayer dollars and they’re just a money-trail away from getting indicted.


Anybody who understands how economics works can see that when all of these things being done by Trump align, the resulting synergy is going to jumpstart the economy like we haven’t seen in 50 years. We need to allow the experts to do their job and we need to stop listening to the news and politicians saying all’s going to hell. They’re wrong.


Let the experts do their job. In a year, if interest rates aren’t lower, the government and deficit hasn’t shrunk, and the job numbers are bad, then complain. Until then...have some faith.
