Watch Trump sign orders inside the factory - The executive orders he signed Saturday were designed to keep jobs and wealth in America.
Donald Trump praised the rich history of the Ames Companies at one of its factories in Harrisburg, where he signed two executive orders.

Donald Trump brings top advisers into Harrisburg factory to sign executive orders

HARRISBURG--President Donald Trump signed two executive orders that drew national attention to a wheelbarrow factory floor in the city of Harrisburg Saturday.
Trump mingled with workers at an Ames Companies factory in the 15000 block of South Cameron Street, along with his advisors, including Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller and Kellyanne Conway before signing the orders. Vice President Mike Pence also toured the factory.
The first executive order he signed calls for a review of all existing trade agreements. The second order establishes an Office of Trade and Manufacturing.
"Great people outside, you can see that," Trump said of the Harrisburg workers as he sat down to sign the orders. "Unbelievable workers. Nobody has better than what we have. It's wonderful to be at Ames."
Trump then appeared to read from a prepared statement where he noted the global company's "rich history" which dates back centuries and "helped to build our nation."
Trump said the company produced tools that were used at the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State building and the Hoover Dam, "just to name a few of the monuments within our country."
Trump said American manufacturing was coming back stronger and faster than he thought, citing hundreds of thousands of new jobs created. But he said the government has for a long time "sacrificed American competition and workers to unfair foreign competition."
The executive orders he signed Saturday were designed to keep jobs and wealth in America.
Trump said he has tasked the Commerce Department secretary to "identify every violation and abuse of our trade agreements and to use every available measure under the law to end these abuses against our workers."
If the deals can't be renegotiated, Trump said the deals would be eliminated.
"And if they don't get cleared up," Trump said, standing next to Secretary Wilbur Ross inside the factory. "Wilbur will end the trade agreements. Do you agree with that?"
Ross responded: "Yes sir."
The second order creates a new office of trade and manufacturing policy within the White House.
"Its mission will be to defend American workers and companies from those who would steal our jobs and threaten our manufacturing base," Trump said.
Trump then took out his pen and signed both agreements. At times workers could be heard cheering from the factory floor next door.
The president eventually handed the second pen to one of his top trade advisers, Peter Navarro, who will head the new trade office.
Trump then began wrapping up his remarks.
"We're only 100 days in so, I've done a lot of work," Trump said, "but we've loved. We've loved doing it. When you love something it's really easy and we love it. We're helping people. We're helping our workers."

Shocking claims allege the militant leftist organization BAMN has ties to NAMBLA.

In addition, a member of that parent organization said to have founded BAMN is an admitted member of NAMBLA, which she has described as the victim of a “witch-hunt.”

President Donald J. Trump visits VA and signs executive order ‘Improving Accountability and Whistleblower Protection at the Department of Veterans Affairs’
Today President Donald J. Trump visited VA to thank Veterans for their service, and VA employees for their work helping Veterans.
While at VA, the president signed an executive order entitled, “Improving Accountability and Whistleblower Protection at the Department of Veterans Affairs,” and Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Dr. David Shulkin, made three new key announcements at the VA’s Central Office.
The executive order is focused on improving “accountability and whistleblower protection” at VA by creating an office dedicated to that purpose and the position of special assistant to the secretary who will report directly to the secretary and serve as executive director of the office.
The new executive director “will report directly to me as secretary so that we can identify barriers that are preventing us from removing employees and people that we have identified that should no longer be working at VA,” said Shulkin. “We want make sure that we have employees who work hard and are committed to the mission of serving our Veterans.”
The VA will establish the office and appoint the executive director within 45 days of the signing of the executive order.
The executive director will advise and assist the secretary in using all available authorities to discipline or terminate any VA manager or employee who has violated the public’s trust and failed to carry out his or her duties on behalf of Veterans. The executive director will also assist the secretary in recruiting, rewarding, and retaining high-performing employees.
At the signing ceremony for the executive order, Shulkin also announced three new key initiatives at the Department.
VA partnership with the Department of Health and Human Services
Effective today, VA is entering a partnership agreement with the Department of Health and Human Services that will allow the assignment of medical professionals from the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps to provide direct patient care to Veterans in VA hospitals and clinics in underserved communities.
“My priority has been to improve access to care for our nation’s heroes,” said Shulkin. “By partnering with our colleagues at HHS, we will enhance the availability of clinical care in those areas most in need.”
The initial agreement enables up to 20 officers from the Commissioned Corps to treat Veterans in VA facilities that are most in need of staffing support. The agreement also allows up to 10 more officers to help support coordination for veterans receiving non-VA community care.
New fraud, waste and abuse taskforce
The secretary announced a major new initiative to detect and prevent fraud, waste and abuse in the Department of Veterans Affairs. Effective today, this initiative has the potential to save tens of millions of taxpayer dollars currently at risk, for fraud, waste and abuse that can be redirected to better serve Veterans.
The initiative will include bringing in the leading thinkers from the private sector and other government organizations in an advisory committee to identify and leverage cutting-edge fraud detection tools and; and coordinate all fraud, waste and abuse detection and reporting activities across the department through a single office.
The department has identified potential savings in the area of improper payments to health care providers, major contracts, contracts for pharmaceuticals, and the delivery of benefits to Veterans.
“Restoring the trust of Veterans and improving system-wide accountability are among my top priorities. It’s essential to ensure that all our employees and the companies that we do business with are being good stewards of the resources available to care for our Veterans,” said Shulkin.
Removing red tape at state-owned Veteran nursing homes
Effective today, VA is amending guidelines to allow state-owned Veteran nursing homes to follow state guidelines in the construction design of their facilities – removing red tape, while increasing access to services for Veterans.
Up to now, to qualify for federal grant funding for Veteran nursing homes in their state, Governors and state officials have had to follow federal construction design guidelines. With today’s announcement by the secretary, that is no longer the case and governors are freed up to follow their own state guidelines in the construction design of these facilities while still qualifying for the same level of federal grant funding as before.
In announcing the move, Shulkin noted that state design guidelines already are sufficient to the task of providing safe conditions for our Veterans and the department recognizes the need to move quickly to reduce unnecessary barriers to providing much needed services to our Veterans.

I like the idea of getting rid of the property tax deductions because it will twist the arms of the blue states to cut taxes as well. When people living in blue states are forced to pay their REAL State Level taxes, they will be incensed to vote in politicians that will reduce them. Reagan lowered tax rates, but shutdown almost every tax loophole that existed, and to the chagrin of "Free Trade" advocates, he also raised import tariffs across the bord, and imposed monetary levies on currency manipulators.
REVEALED: Trump Tax Reform — Will Ryan Sabotage?
Trump takes the lead on tax reform, delivering a plan that looks like the one he campaigned and won on. But Paul Ryan and the Democrats are trying to tell us that tax cuts create budget deficits. David Knight looks at the details of what has been proposed and debunks the myth of increased deficits — tax cuts historically have INCREASED tax revenue. Deficits come from even greater spending.

A Few Thoughts on Trump Filling the Swamp...
First off, the criticisms of his appointments often heavily rely on labels such as "bankster" applied to people to automatically write them off. Reportedly, Trump does not view people through an ideological lens, but a pragmatic and personal one. Whatever their true nature, ultimately the results these people produce for their boss is what matters.
Secondly, those confirmation hearings were tough going for a bunch of supposed swamp creatures. Assuming this is indeed what these human beings really are, just imagine how it'd go for all those qualified and willing angels to choose from out there. Such folks, or anything approximating it, would and have been used as fodder for smear campaigns, firings, fake scandals, and calls for impeachment.
Maybe the policies implemented will fundamentally change the proverbial swamp water environment that created any swamp creatures currently working for POTUS. I'm keeping score and not all is well, but in a multitude of ways things are better than many would have imagined they could be some years ago. I'm an optimist.

Who is Criticizing Black Lives Matter?
TRUMP EXECUTIVE: BLACK LIVES HAVE HISTORICALLY MATTERED LESS
citizensfortrump.com
An executive for the Eric Trump Foundation made the case on the floor of the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night that black lives have historically mattered less than the lives of others.
Lynne Patton, a black woman and an assistant to Eric Trump, son of the GOP presidential nominee, thrilled convention with a spirited argument that Donald Trump will repair racial divisions in the U.S.
“There’s not one person in this room who can dispute that historically black lives have mattered less,” she said. “My life mattered less. And whether we like it or not, there are people out there who still believe this to be true. As a minority myself, I personally pledge to you that Donald Trump knows that my life matters, that your life matters, that LGBT lives matter. He knows that veteran lives matter and he knows that blue lives matter.”
The crowd cheered and many came to their feet.
“I’m proud to stand here tonight and support Donald trump not in spite of the color of my skin, but because of the color of my skin,” she said.

DONALD J. TRUMP
THE WHITE HOUSE,

First 100 Days
John F. Hughes
Donald Trump has hit 100 days in office, and the opinions on his performance are as diverse as can possibly be imagined. Perhaps never before has so much scrutiny been placed on a President’s first several months in office. Make no mistake, Trump is under a microscope. Critics in the media and elsewhere instantaneously pounce on any perceived slip up. Even many of his supporters became highly critical over Trump’s decisions regarding Syria and North Korea.
Trump’s challenges have been compounded by a congress who have been unwilling to help him. Republicans (McCain, Ryan, Graham) are often his worst enemies. The challenge of governing has been compounded further by a hostile media, leaks from the White House (which for now seems to have abated), and intelligence agency personnel with questionable motives.
Still, Trump has managed to accomplish many things through executive order:
- Hiring of 5,000 new border patrol agents
- Hiring 10,000 new immigration officers
- Expediting environmental reviews of infrastructure projects
- Imposed lifetime ban on any administrative official from lobbying on behalf of a foreign government
- Mandating agencies remove two regulations for every one regulation put in place
- Initiated review of H1-B plan
- Initiated review of steel import system
- Ordered a full audit of the executive branch
- Ordered the Historically Black Colleges and Universities offices to move from the D.O.E. into the White House
- Created regulatory reform task force to evaluate rules for repeal or modification
- Created three DOJ task forces: one for Drug Cartels, one for violent crimes, and one for reducing attacks against police officers
- 120 day travel suspension from terrorist hot spots
- Initiated review of military readiness
- Directed Generals to draw up a plan to defeat ISIS within 30 days
- Approved the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines
- Ban on US taxpayer money funding foreign pro-abortion groups
- Federal hiring freeze, exempting military
This is a fairly remarkable track record for 100 days, especially when you consider that President Trump has met with dozens of citizen groups (Union leaders, CEO’s, small business owners, women’s groups, minority groups, veteran’s groups) during the same stretch. Additionally, he has been managing several international security situations and diplomatic missions, all while wrestling with the media and politicians back home.
Trump’s work ethic has never been called into question, even by his critics. The man is a powerhouse, working seven days a week, and even getting some in the White House press corps to admit that covering the President at such a frenzied pace is “Unsustainable,” in the long term.

I myself, after having analyzed Trump’s decision making since he announced his candidacy, am slower to judgement than most. Trump thinks more long-term than people give him credit for, and I take that into account when I come across these “scare” headlines emanating from a hostile media. Time will tell, but at this pace I imagine that in the 1361 days left in his first term, Trump will accomplish a grand transformation of this country.
If you find yourself discouraged, just remember: it could have been Hillary!
