Much Has Changed for the Better Since 2016

The Supreme Court and federal judges will be far more conservative for a generation - as Trump's judicial nominations are uniformly conservative, mostly young and well qualified.

Americans have paradoxically grown tired both of costly overseas interventions and perceptions of American weakness that led to the Libyan fiasco, the Syrian genocide, the rise of the ISIS caliphate, and Iranian-inspired terrorism.

Trump has not changed his campaign reputation for being mercurial, crass and crude.

What has changed is the media's own reputation in its hysterical reaction to Trump.

Since 2016, polls show that Americans have assumed that the proverbial mainstream media cannot be counted on for honest reporting but will omit, twist and massage facts and evidence for the higher "Truth" of neutralizing the Trump presidency.

Trump's popularity is about where it was when he was elected - ranging on average from the low to mid-forties.

Many of his policies have led to more prosperity and address festering problems abroad. And despite the negative news, they are widely supported, even - or especially - if Trump himself is not given proper credit for enacting most of them.
