Lars Larson chimes in with his views of the first six months of President Donald Trump’s current term

Lars Larson
The Northwest Nonsense

You know what drives most liberals crazy?  

When Donald Trump keeps his promises.

Six months in, consider where we stand.

Seal the border?  Got that done so well the Cartel News Media types don’t talk about it anymore, other than whining about the tough conditions at Alligator Alcatraz.

Gang members from groups like Tren De Aragua deported, imprisoned or on the run.

Core inflation stands at its lowest level in four years, gas prices also the lowest in 4 years.

Trump’s America First agenda has dozens of companies announcing trillions in new American investment.  That brings home jobs driven overseas.

Medicaid … the taxpayer-funded health insurance for the poor WON’T be going to doctors who SEXUALLY mutilate teenagers, won’t go to illegal aliens, won’t go to deadbeat Americans who won’t get a job. 

Tax cuts from eight years ago that mean thousands of dollars to average workers…tax cuts that were on schedule to expire at year’s end … preserved in the Big Beautiful Bill.

Conventional wisdom holds that you can never believe promises from politicians.

Donald Trump keeps his word.
