The Weekly Review: January 19 – 25

 

 

My goodness — what a first week in office for the Orange Man!

The right appears positively giddy with Trump’s flurry of executive orders and cabinet appointments. The left seems too shell-shocked to muster more than a feeble objection.

People like Victor Davis Hanson and Tim Pool, both of whom I haven’t seen smile in four years, don’t seem to know what to do with themselves. To put it mildly, Trump is surpassing conservatives’ wildest dreams.

 

I’m a geezer now, and I’ve been alive for 13 American presidents — 14 if you count Trump twice — but never have I witnessed a new president keep so many campaign promises. And in just one week.

Of course, as expected, the courts and political opponents will see to it that not all of Trump’s early initiatives will come to fruition. But a lot of them probably will.

Will history label Trump’s second term a resounding success, or will he indeed turn out to be the new Hitler?

Either way, it’s going to be interesting.

One thing hasn’t changed about Trump: his predilection for surrounding himself with good-looking ladies. Although they long ago left “the blush of youth,” Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi both qualify as political MILFs.

Speaking of hotties, the Army chick pictured above appeared in my X feed, and I thought I would impress her with my sparkling sense of humor. 

But then I watched the short video she posted:

 

 

OK, so she might not be impressed by my clownish behavior, but I do resemble the fat guy she approves of.
