REAL NEWS PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT YOU TO MISS
- The Washington Times
“As we mark six months since Mr. Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law, we continue to see more Americans working,” Administrator Linda McMahon, head of the Small Business Administration, writes. “With more money in their pockets, Americans are spending again — and that’s good news for small businesses.”

The Supreme Court found this week that President Trump’s order on travel restrictions falls “squarely” within his executive authority, Tucker Higgins reports for CNBC. “The [order] is expressly premised on legitimate purposes: preventing entry of nationals who cannot be adequately vetted and inducing other nations to improve their practices,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote.

“America’s CEOs are not wasting anytime in taking advantage of [President Trump’s] tax reform plan. Over $300 billion was repatriated to the U.S. in the first quarter, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) — the most on record,” Suzanne O’Halloran writes. “This is why many economists are boosting their GDP forecasts to between 3% and 4%.”

“The groundbreaking on Foxconn’s $10-billion factory to produce state-of-the-art flat-panel displays in Mount Pleasant represents a milestone for America,” Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross writes. “It would never have happened without the promise of the Trump tax cuts and the President’s personal intervention.”

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Editorial Board writes that President Trump “is forcing a re-examination of America’s trade policies, and making other countries consider the consequences of the trade war they have long waged upon us.” The editors remind readers that “America has been reflexively globalist and anti-protectionist for a long time now, and it has not worked. The Rust Belt has been impoverished.”

In RealClearPolitics, Steve Cortes points out that the main driver of President Trump’s growing popularity is “a stunning 10 percent rise in Trump approval among Hispanics.” Cortes explains that “as President Trump pursues policies that drive growth and public safety – such as tax cuts and cracking down on the MS-13 gang – no wonder his popularity rises apace among Latinos.”

The Washington Examiner Editorial Board argues that the open border ideology of Democrats and left-wing commentators “is as dangerous as it is unpopular.” The editors paint a stark picture of that policy’s consequencs: “Theoretically, we could give up on borders, as some seem to want. But that would mean giving up on having a democratic society.”

“President Donald Trump is standing up to China, which wrongly believes it can bully our farmers to get America to back away from defending our national interests,” Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue writes in an op-ed for USA Today. “He will not allow U.S. agriculture to bear the brunt of China’s retaliatory tactics.”

“Thanks to a robust economy, historically low unemployment, and the largest tax cut in history, our country is in the midst of a great American comeback, and millennials, perhaps more than any other generation, will reap the fruit of this great economic boon,” Ryan Fournier writes.

“President Trump’s commitment to a 355-ship United States Navy, together with this administration’s ongoing efforts to expand opportunities for United States industry, are creating the conditions for a more vibrant maritime industry and the rejuvenation of great maritime cities such as Philadelphia,” writes Peter Navarro, Director of the White House National Trade Council.

Energy Secretary Rick Perry writes that “the United States is now producing enough natural gas and other fuels to be on the verge of energy independence. This positive development is untying the hands of our elected leadership, and enabling it to conduct foreign policy in a way that advances this Nation and its allies’ interests.”

The Day Ahead
President Donald J. Trump welcomes Prime Minister Mark Rutte of the Netherlands to discuss trade, investment, and shared defense and security goals.
'Six months ago, we unleashed an economic miracle'
"The biggest tax cuts in American history," President Trump said Friday at a celebration of December's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. "It's my great honor to welcome you back to the White House to celebrate six months of new jobs, bigger paychecks, and keeping more of your hard-earned money where it belongs, in your pocket or wherever else you want to spend it."
The results are in: The economy is booming and confidence is soaring. Fifty-four percent of Americans rate the economy as good or excellent, the highest ever recorded by CNBC. Businesses repatriated $300 million held overseas in early 2018—another record.
This economic miracle gets less press than it should. Why? Because the tax-cuts boom is proving the President's alarmist critics flat-out wrong. "What has been sold as a job creator and wage booster will, of course, do little of either," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) claimed. "We are very probably looking at a global recession, with no end in sight," liberal economist Paul Krugman said the day after President Trump's election.
Vice President Pence: 'This exodus must end'
Vice President Mike Pence and Second Lady Karen Pence returned home Friday from a trip last week to South and Central America. "Productive discussions on isolating Venezuela's brutal dictatorship and on solving the crisis of illegal immigration on our southern border," the Vice President tweeted.
Three Central American leaders—Presidents Jimmy Morales of Guatemala, Salvador Sanchez Ceren of El Salvador, and Juan Orlando Hernandez of Honduras—met with Vice President Pence Thursday to discuss the burgeoning migrant crisis. "I say with great respect to the Presidents gathered here: This exodus must end," Vice President Pence said. "Just as we respect your borders and your sovereignty, we insist that you respect ours."
The Vice President also met with families displaced by the Volcán de Fuego eruption in Guatemala, pledging America's continued support for the victims.
