Donald Trump defied all odds and accomplished the impossible — he won!

Now that I’ve watched him at work, I’m even more impressed. If you’re not impressed, you’re a thumb-sucking liberal wonk or a die-hard member of the conservative establishment. One must admit that he is doing a masterful job of selecting the best, most experienced, most qualified people to serve in his cabinet. No sweetheart deals, only positions for those with skills and willingness to work.

He went beyond government and selected the most qualified, successful giants of industry. Unless you’ve started a business, hired and trained a staff, met a payroll or developed a business plan, you are really not qualified to hold a position in government. You simply don’t know the true value of money or how to structure a good deal.

If you have not had any real world experience, in the real workaday world, a degree is not worth squat, which explains why Obama has failed so miserably. Trump does not hire policy wonks or yes men. He hires strong, successful men and women who know how to work, fight and win. And then he listens to them.

The naysayers are moaning that his key people are not experienced in the fine nuances of international diplomacy and will be taken advantage of.

Bull, if these naysayers want to see utter diplomatic failure they only need to look to the current administration. When you are the laughing stock of the world, there is no way to go but up.

There are four obstacles waiting to derail the Trump Express. First, the remains of a totally failed and corrupt Democratic Party, which will do anything to prevent changes in their vision for big government. Second, the conservative establishment will actively try to insert their concepts and goals into Trump’s plans. It will look like Congress is cooperating, when in reality, they are doing their best to retain their personal power and control.

Third, it’s almost impossible to fire an entrenched federal staff; the Trump administration will run in to resistance every time it tries to trim the size of government. Fourth, the liberal media. Except for Fox, the media is totally in bed with the liberal establishment and will try to turn the citizens against Trump at every opportunity.

What can “We the People” do to prevent the Trump administration from being hijacked? In November, America conducted a bloodless revolution. We did the impossible.

We must continue to do what we did — push back hard when necessary.

We’ve only won the first skirmish; the real war commences Jan. 20.

America is looking at what could be its best years in modern history. Be aware plans are being developed at every level of the D.C. swamp to block Trump. Members of the Republican Congress must hear the will of the people relentlessly. Trump can’t do it with out us. Together we can “make America great again.” Are you with me?
