What President-Elect Trump Needs To Do During His First 30 Days

San Francisco radical Kamala Harris and her leftwing ideology are done, thank God, but she’ll never be held responsible for the millions of illegal aliens she brought into the country or the crazy ideas she had about how she was going to run the government.

Harris chose Tim Walz as VP, but he returned to his Minnesota home. No one will remember him or his penchant for fancy waves. He flew home Tuesday and did not have any events on his calendar Wednesday. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro or literally dozens of others would have been a much better choice for the Democrats.

“There’s no point in saying good morning,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday. “Because it certainly is not one.”

Barbara Heineback, a former White House staffer says she was disappointed by how Harris blew up after her loss to President-elect Donald J. Trump.

“She (Harris) is so completely insecure that she could not have someone that bright around her to upstage her and outshine her. She made a lot of mistakes by bringing on all of Hollywood and Beyoncé and all of those people. But they always do that. Beyoncé wasn’t very happy,” Heineback said.

CNN’s roundtable of hacks blamed racism and sexism for Harris’ loss but said nothing about how she had the worst approval rating of any vice president.

Vance Jones, one of CNN’s talking heads, said folks were smiling when they woke up Tuesday morning, but were going to bed with a “nightmare.”

Harris herself was missing Wednesday. One of her staffers said he might resurface around 4 p.m. or 6 p.m.

Meanwhile, Trump was smiling about his victory. He had been impeached, convicted of laughable “crimes,” silenced by the corporate media, and then shot by an assassin – one of two men who tried to kill him.

Despite all he had gone through, President-elect Trump was happy Wednesday morning. He appeared tired but was ready to go to work.

Here’s where he should focus during his first 30 days.

World Peace

Trump said he would stop “the chaos in the Middle East,” adding, “Israel would have never been attacked of October 7th, and I will prevent World War Three from happening.”

After Trump rebuilds our military, they can be sent out to stop these senseless acts by weakened dictators.

Second Amendment

Trump said in May he will end the more than 50 executive orders Joe Biden has issued about guns and the Second Amendment.

Biden has signed executive orders covering homemade kit guns that do not use serial numbers, stabilizing braces for ARs, which he wanted the owners to have to register as short-barreled rifles under the National Firearms Act, as well as safe storage requirements. Biden even created a task force to consider 3D-printed firearms and fully automatic conversion devices that are already regulated as machine guns.

“In my second term, we will roll back every Biden attack on the Second Amendment — the attacks are fast and furious — starting the minute that Crooked Joe shuffles his way out of the White House,” Trump said.

Trump told senior NRA executives he will fire Steve Dettelbach, who was Joe Biden’s second choice to lead the ATF. “Have you heard of him? He’s a disaster,” Trump told the NRA.

While firing Dettelbach would be a great start, there are other issues that need to go too, such as the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention and the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which has billions for Red Flag laws and other litigation.

While Trump told the NRA he plans to appoint a pro-gun attorney general “who will stop the weaponization of government against lawful gun ownership and who will prioritize traditional law enforcement by catching and punishing criminals,” perhaps it’s time to get rid of the ATF itself.

The ATF has never functioned well, and like President Biden, it needs to go soon.

That’s just 2A+. How about we fire woke Generals, ATGs, and purge most of the bureaucrats. Maybe a completely new Justice Dept! Maybe someone there can spearhead a probe into who was/is funding those caravans of illegals. They couldn’t do it on their own. This list would go on….

Nick

There’s three letter agency… CIA.

Bigfootbob

Clinton fired every single federal attorneys general President Trump should do the same and fumigate the State Department.

Exactly. I wrote President Trump a letter back in 2016 telling him exactly that. Hopefully he’s more receptive to that idea now.

Kamala and Tim sent packing and the old hag Pelosi in tears , man I love a happy ending .

That was NOT a concession speech, it was a rant by a mean spiteful woman that has no idea what she did wrong!

But who cares? with a little bit of luck we will never hear her whiny voice or obnoxious cackle ever again. Vance 2028 will carry this forward.

Don’t encourage killing. Encourage engagement and voting. Not death.

OldJarhead03

I’ve had enough of “our military”… being “sent out to stop… senseless acts by weakened dictators”. That has worked so well for us, right? How about reforming the procurement system and finding a way to encourage the few who can pass the enlistment requirements to consider joining up?

Trump told senior NRA executives he will fire Steve Dettelbach, who was Joe Biden’s second choice to lead the ATF. 

Music to my ears; Pres. Trump don’t just stop with the ATF…

…perhaps it’s time to get rid of the ATF itself.

That would be a good start.

I hate that slimy sonofabitch Diddlebutt.

Can you say Bhu By ATF!

Roland T. Gunner

Day one, remove suppressors and SBR’s from the NFA; and announce an amnesty on registering machineguns. Day two, repeal the fraudulently enacted Hughes’ Amendment, opening the registry, with the intent to repeal the NFA in it’s entirety in the near future.

He can propose, but Congress has to do both. Without 60 votes in the Senate, won’t go far, even if GOP retains the House. Undoing all of Biden’s executive orders and mass executive branch layoffs is where he can start the process on day 1.

JMacZ

And with only one giggle/cackle during the entire speech.

HankB

A minor thing Trump can do – if any of the “51 Experts” who signed a letter saying they thought Hunter’s laptop was a Russian plant still retain security clearances – those should be cancelled immediately. Either all 51 collectively were unable to distinguish reality (it WAS Hunter’s) from fantasy (Russia!) or they lied for political purposes. In either case, they can’t be trusted with the nation’s secrets.

all jobs and recommendations struck too, cant tell the truth are of no value

#3 have the SCOTUS rule on birthright citizenship
#4 discontinue funding illegal aliens and deport ALL illegal aliens and force return of all FUNDS earned/gained by them

That’d be nice. But too many Republicans, more like 99% won’t vote for it.

Mr. Williams, we don’t need to rebuild our military, just so it can do AIPAC’s bidding, IE regime change in the Middle East. We need to rebuild our military to secure our own borders…

Correct!

Hey nice to see you! Been awhile!

I see you got down voted, ‘Oldman’ hates me, for real.

let us stop name calling. instead give ideas to MAGA!

Nick

Name calling?

Oldman

Hogwash

Nick

Oh so you don’t want secure borders? You don’t want a functioning military led by patriots?
Or do you hate the people in the Middle East so much, that you froth at the mouth like a rabid dog, at the thought of more war?

Oldman

Why do you think I would take the time to explain it to you. I tried that before. Didn’t work then, won’t work now.

Nick

Yet you replied, twice! LOL

Nick

All that hate’s really burning you up tonight!

Oldman

You are really slipping li’l Nicky. You usually answer an unanswered post at least four times before you stop. Did you see your daddy Walz crying at Kameltoe’s concession speech today? I bet you are proud of him. Can’t wait to give him a big hug after he comes home, huh?

Nick

What’s funny is that you and MusicMan44Mag always say I’m a leftist, yet, how exactly am I leftist?
You guys all act so woke… Emotion, yet no substance.

Oldman

If you want to know why are you a leftist? I’ll tell you. You and Get Out are the same persons, hence your new name is Nicky Get Out. You are brothers by different mothers, I hope.
In other words you both suck!

Nick

Still you can’t tell me what it is that makes me a leftist.
Saying Getout and I are related and both suck doesn’t answer the question.
You’re crying woke right tears old man.

Get Out

Whoo-whee, trumpers are already at each other’s throats, reminds me of the current do-nothing republican congress.

Gonna pop double bags of popcorn with butter, Guffaw.

And I’m sure you’ll eat your pop corn with butter in your Tim Walz issued drag uniform.

By the way, is the butter, of dairy origin? Margarine? Or perhaps human origin?
Nope, never mind, don’t wanna know.

Exactly! Where in the constitution does it say that we are to be the world police, and do Israel’s bidding? I guess the 4 BILLION we send them every year isn’t enough for Israhell to do it themselves. As the founding fathers stated: Trade with all, alliance with none, and no foreign entanglements. Our military is so gayed up, no one fears us, they just laugh at us. The book “War is a racket” comes to mind.

Nick

Even before it went woke, when has our military done anything? Look just in my life time, Black Hawk Down- it’s a miracle only what 19 GI’s died, after all the stupidity. Didn’t bring night vision, body armor, water, nothing. Used the same flight paths for the choppers every day. They learned all that in Vietnam, NEVER USE THE SAME FLIGHT PATH! Somebody’s always watching. Then gee whiz, two Black Hawks Down! Look at Iraq, didn’t Black Hawk Down teach anyone that Humvee’s aren’t the right vehicle for urban warfare? And a million dead Iraqi’s and so what?… Then the… Read more »

Get Out Nicky,
Seems to me you would rather live in another country where you can be woke and get away with it, as long as you can keep your mouth shut, which I guess is beyond your capabilities.
You know nothing….

Nick

Would you kindly tell me what your reply has to do with my comment?

Dindunuffins Shekelstein

Keyboard warriors talk tough when they want to send other people’s son’s and daughter’s to go die for Israel. I wouldn’t encourage any of my family members to join the military at this point. NO MORE WARS FOR ISRAEL. How about open borders for Israel, since “duhversudee b r stremph n sheeeit?”

Oldman

At this point in time, I would not encourage my children to enlist either. Nicky Get Out wants to play isolationism and in this day and age that no longer works. Ever since WWII we have been the arbiters and enforcers in the world for world peace. That cannot be done by sending our military to the border to enforce it. That is why we have the border patrol and ice. We can also send our National Guard to back them up. What we need now is to build up our military to the point that everyone fears us. That… Read more »

If what you say is true, when why so many wars, post WW2? By the way, isn’t the United Nations supposed to be the world police? Wasn’t that what they were set up to do? Peacefully solve international conflicts? So we can have 30,000 GI’s defending South Korea’s border, but we can’t have any GI’s defending our own? That makes no sense. Korean War, 60 some thousand dead GI’s. Vietnam 58 or so thousand dead GI’s. 240 or so dead GI’s in Beirut. How many died in Somalia? 20 some? 30 some? In the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, what, 5,000… Read more »

First each war has its own set of circumstances that set it in motion. The United Nations was set up so that nations would each and all would have a forum to work out differences short of war. The Posse Commitatus Act precludes the use of the military for civilian law enforcement, except to restore order that law enforcement can not. In the invasion of Grenada, we restored the government of Grenada. In the invasion of Kuwait, we restored the legitimate government of Kuwait. No, the president can commit troops for 90 days with out the approval of Congress. As… Read more »

Nick

You wrote a lot, so I’ll try to be consice in my reply. Yes, each war has different circumstances leading up it. But, again, as you seem to agree with me, there’s the UN. So, why Team America World Police? Would you say “civilian” law enforcement is being successful at securing our border? I think not. Further, if the Posse Commitatus Act is the obstacle you suggest here, which I disagree with, but say it is the reason troops are not stationed on our own borders, then the Act should be amended, so as to law US troops to defend… Read more »

Nick

Just to clarify, as you said you were in the service, I’m not criticizing your service time or the American soldier generally. My criticism is with the brass at the Pentagon, the White House, Congress, and so forth, for putting American troops in harms way, for absolutely no reason, that serves the American people.

I think that’s a war crime, when the American government sends American troops to fight, die, come home half men, for not one single reason that benefits the American people. That’s a war crime.

Nick

As a side note, since you don’t want to encourage your kids to enlist, then why should other people’s sons and daughters go fight and die in the foreign entanglements you so staunchly support and mock others for being skeptical of? If a situation is so dire to the US, that US troops are deployed, and you support the “intervention”, then why don’t you encourage your kids to enlist? Wouldn’t that be the patriotic thing to do? Is this a case of other people’s kids can go fight and die, but yours will stay safe at home… For a “intervention”… Read more »

Wild Bill

Why should others enlist? Well, sometimes the wet work has to be done. Each of us enlist for their own personal reasons. Some people for their own interests want to see what they are made of. Others have the killer instinct and go for the action.
No one sacrifices their children. The decision to enlist is one person alone to make.
I don’t expect you to understand any of this.

Nick

If your speaking of my exchange with ‘Oldman’, no I don’t understand your point.

He advocates for war, while saying he won’t encourage his kids to join the service.

I find that hypocritical.

If however, you’re speaking of some random 18-20 year old man, then, yes, I can understand your point.

But my comment was directed at ‘Oldman’s hypocrisy, not your general young man thinking of going down to the recruiters office.

Wild Bill

You should try it. There is a career path. The Army will not let you get things wrong. We have whole shelves of manuals on how to do things so that you do not get your people killed. One of my favorites is FM 3-90 “Tactics”.

Nick

I’m not interested in fighting and dying in the Middle East, or Ukraine, or Taiwan just to keep the military industrial complex happy.

I also don’t want mysterious “vaccines” pumped into me. Nor do I want to be indoctrinated on what Gen. Milley liked to read about “white rage”, or have drag queen parties.

Not my thing.

Nick

The military doesn’t get things wrong? Then why zero victories since WW2?
There’s no causalities either? I think there’s thousands of dead GI’s over the last 20 some years who’d disagree with you… Iraq? Afghanistan?…

Wild Bill

I think that Trump will use American business to reduce the incomes of our enemies so that they can not afford to prosecute war. He had Iran and China to broke to go to war, and Russia was little more than a gas station.
Hot war is expensive and there is no guarantee of a beneficial outcome.

Nick

Now that’s what we can agree on. Use trade and other financial tactics to get our goals met.

Oldman

Agreed WB. BTW, Nicky-Gout said I was advocating for war. Hardly! He has no idea what Teddy R meant when he said” Walk Softly and carry a big stick” He did not understand anything I said.

Nick

Col. Roosevelt didn’t just talk, he backed it up. He went to war, when he clearly didn’t have to go. And he lost a son in WW1…

When was the last time a current or former President lost a son in war?…

Oldman

Why would you ask a person that you call a hypocrite a dumb question? I only answer questions that have been asked of me because someone wants to know what I think. You are just bored and you think I care what you think. Eff off little fella.

It was rhetorical. Go back to bed old man.

Sweet tea, not Coke. Never could stand the carbonation.
Oh, and gout, nope, never had it. Had athletes feet a few times, never gout though.

Well that’s nice to see you have empathy for poor puppies.

Economic might is primary determiner in war. Sure a fast war is won by the military you have, but long wars drag into attrition and innovation. We entered WW2 after Pearl Harbor, at which point our military was not particularly strong or prepared – yet our resources and economic might made victory a question of when and at what price but still virtually certain. Right now we are dependent on China for critical supplies such as nitrocellulose. If we cannot restock our ammo, we cannot continue to fight a lengthy war. Our biggest tool to fight China is our debt… Read more »

One thing to remember about WW2 is the US mainland was never in any danger. Oh, I know, people will bring up the Aleutians being invaded, but the lower 48, were never at risk of mass bombings, or invasions. No one had bombers with the range, and no one had a navy which could, sail hundreds of thousands of men, and arms halfway across the world, without stopping to resupply. Whereas Japan, being an island, was susceptible to blockades, courtesy of sub patrols. And as island hopping went on, later bombing. Germany, was always within reach of bombing thanks to… Read more »

One thing about Taiwan, is I think it’d be in far less danger, if America didn’t use it as a colony, and a forward operating base to spy on China. Another reason China was so hostile to us being in Afghanistan is they share a border. And in Afghanistan, we had a massive spy complex for collecting their signals. Add to that our official/unofficial presence in Pakistan, and it’s easy to see why China would be mad. Our bases in Korea, and Japan as well. After all, we almost went to Armageddon when the Soviets put nukes in Cuba. Which… Read more »

We’re not “getting rid of the ATF” in the first 30 days — or the first 100 days — and probably not in four years, but we can certainly make serious progress. Revoking a whole pile of Executive Orders and getting rid of Dettelbach are a good start and realistically achievable. It’s nice to have a somewhat friendly face in the oval office, and hopefully this time Trump won’t fall for stupid nonsense like the NRA telling him that American gun owners want a bump stock ban. But even with a friendly face in the oval office, most of what… Read more »

Most of what you say is true, but, Trump was not “defeated” in 2020, the election was rigged.

I don’t think the NRA aka Negotiating Rights Away, will be an issue for Trump this time around. From everything I’ve read, they’re bleeding so bad and so fast, there’s a good chance they won’t survive to have their next annual meeting.
