8 THINGS TRUMP SHOULD DO NOW,
Exclusive: Joseph Farah finally has a president who just
might take his advice, by Joseph Farah, 2/22/17, WND
Who am I to advise Donald Trump? Nobody.
Quite honestly, no one alive today has better instincts than the president. And
no one alive today has seen a president with better instincts about what’s best
for the country.
Ronald Reagan was close. But he
trusted the Washington establishment too much. What else could explain his
choice of George H.W. Bush, the former director of the CIA, as his vice
president and James Baker as his chief of staff?
Nevertheless, I suppose because I am
so appreciative of the change Trump brought to Washington, admire so much his
determination to implement dramatically new policies and, with a few rare
exceptions, am joyfully enamored over his key staffing decisions, my counsel
will be the best I can offer.
·
The hiring freeze on non-essential
federal employees was a great start. It should be continued. I could never
understand why the federal government should have any non-essential employees. I can tell
you I don’t have any non-essential staff in my company. I don’t even have
enough essential staff. There are
three reasons this Trump freeze makes sense: 1) The federal government is much
too large; 2) every second of every day, Washington is digging a bigger debt
hole with, until now, no real plan to stop digging; and 3) without a freeze,
most of those “non-essential” employees would be hired by those in Washington
who are fighting the Trump Revolution tooth and nail.
·
There needs to be a much more
aggressive effort to fire anyone and everyone working in the federal government
who are political appointees and carryovers from the past. Trump has too many
enemies inside the beast. He has a former president who is leading the
community organizers (something he’s actually qualified to do) to undermine
Trump’s every move. Never mind waiting until the president has replacements
ready. These people are not going to become his friends and allies. The sooner
they’re gone, the better off Trump’s core team will be. And, again, we’re
saving the taxpayers from more debt with every single salary removed from the
books.
·
He needs to keep the pressure on the
Republican Congress to move forward on the repeal of Obamacare. It’s still
hurting the country – every day, every week, every month it hangs over our
heads. Likewise, while some of us are working on our 2016 taxes, it’s a good
time to start moving forward with plans for abolishing the Internal Revenue
Service, which is more invasive and corrupt than it has ever been in the
nation’s history.
·
Trump needs to clean house when it
comes to the intelligence agencies, including the FBI, CIA and NSA. The
deliberate leaks coming from there are shameful and deliberate and have one
goal in mind – undermining Trump.
·
Make sure his Secret Service is 100
percent trustworthy with no weak links. It is shocking, appalling and more than
a little scary that there have been so many open threats made against this
president in his first month in office. Every one should be thoroughly
investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
·
The debt truly is a time bomb.
Trump’s financial geniuses should be developing a plan – beyond just growing
the economy. He has the right approach on regulations – dropping two for every
new one put in place. The same attitude should be aggressively enforced on new
spending initiatives.
·
Don’t ever give up on helping those
who have been most exploited by past administrations – Democrat and Republican
– those in the inner cities. I love that Trump really seems to have a heart for
lifting people up, encouraging them to achieve and work hard. But the deck is
badly stacked against the urban poor with lousy schools and unsafe neighborhoods
and solidly Democratic rule at the local level. Maybe it’s finally time for
declaring enterprise zones with tax benefits for businesses that are willing to
invest in truly helping the needy.
·
Enlist the churches to help. Remove
their shackles. Encourage them not to be afraid to re-engage in their culture
and at the community level where they can not only feed the poor, cloth the
naked and visit their brothers and sisters in prisons, but to offer some
accountability and counseling.
Again, just my two cents.
It was pointless to offer this kind
of advice to anyone in the White House for the last 28 years, Its no longer
pointless. We have someone there with great instincts who, I believe, really
has a passion for making American great again.
