“The President elected two years ago to revive American prosperity is now presiding over an economic boom. The first two years of the Trump era have been so good that his predecessor has lately been barnstorming the country trying to persuade voters that we’re still living in the Obama era.

Ed Rogers writes that by most measures, Republicans beat the odds of history—and nearly everyone’s expectations—for the 2018 midterms. “The instant analysis is clear: Democrats may have won the House, but Trump won the election.” President Trump and his allies “have an appeal that the elites in New York and Hollywood cannot dismiss or combat,” Rogers explains.

“The proof is in the poll numbers,” the Investor’s Business Daily editorial board writes about the quality of life in America under President Trump. “The latest IBD/TIPP Poll results show that people are more optimistic about the economy, less financially stressed, less worried about jobs, more satisfied with the direction of the country, and happier with the federal government's economic policies than they were in November 2016.”

“When President Trump ended U.S. participation in the Iran nuclear deal, he promised tough sanctions on the Iranian regime,” Energy Secretary Rick Perry writes.
