| [American Thinker] Trump and the Bannister Effect |
| 2018-08-04 |
| ...The Bannister Effect is the notion that once a person sees someone else perform an exceptional feat, all doubt as to the possibility of that feat is erased, encouraging that person to strive for the goal, with hard work and training. ...All this leads me to the Trump phenomenon. No one would have believed in 2015 that one guy could have done all this in less than two years: Cut taxes Appoint a decent conservative to the Supreme Court Gut Obamacare Destroy ISIS Scrap TPP Dig into NAFTA Slash federal regulations Ban travel from terror-sponsoring nations Move our embassy to Jerusalem Freeze federal hiring Use tariffs to prod our trading partners to negotiate Dump net neutrality Sucker the media into betraying their papier mâché objectivity ...I have recognized for years that the problem with Washington is not "politics." The problem is that many, many of the people running government are just plain evil. They are working for their own benefit to the detriment of everyone else, and they don’t care who gets hurt. These people are not just thieves, they are very clever thieves and have figured out how to steal from generations yet unborn. Every child born today inherits over $60,000 in debt, right out of the womb. Well, if the child is lucky enough to be born at all. This is not politics, this is evil. And Donald Trump called evil, evil. Never in my life had I expected to hear this plain-speaking honesty from a president. I now know it’s possible, and due to the Bannister Effect I’m going to work even harder to put more people in charge who will call good, good, and evil, evil at every level. ...To compensate, the left thinks that they can squash this hope by squashing Trump. Sorry, but the hope is out of the bag. This is not about Trump any more. Certainly, there is a huge battle ahead, but we are armed with principles, not the infatuation of personality. We now know the positive possibilities for America are unlimited. Every good thing is possible, with enough hard work and time, even the destruction of liberal evil. |

| #1 Rent-seeking is killing the west. Subsidized migration to bump rents and collapse wages is just one the prongs. |
