I had hoped for a self coup making Trump King and erasing the constitution by now, but he is making significant progress. Maybe we will see a self coup on his third term.| He is not yet in control, but he is definitely biting the permanent government at the edges.
Protecting American Workers
Trump killed the Transpacific Partnership, killed the Paris Treaty.
The Transpacific Partnership was not so much a free trade agreement as an system of economic regulation by the “International Community”. Free Trade for corporations big enough to own a skyscraper in a major city and fill it full of lawyers. Lesser businesses would find themselves criminals because of a thousand pages of regulation that no one reads and no one understands, least of all those enforcing it.
He has “reopened” negotiations on NAFTA and, surprise surprise, the negotiations are not going too well – looks like NAFTA is going to die, or else be radically modified in favor of the US.
The biggest issue is that Trump wants forty two percent of a car to be built in the US, to get NAFTA status in the US. At present, the rule is sixty two percent of a car built in the US, Canada, or Mexico. Which in practice means Mexico, in part because regulatory burdens and corporate taxes are highest in the US. Canada has the lowest corporate tax rates, but a higher regulatory burden than Mexico.

Fixing the economy
One important thing he is doing is fixing the economy, bringing back the flyover country jobs, the smalltown jobs, the lesser city jobs, that the regulatory state was systematically destroying.
When people leave flyover country to the big cities, they are outvoted by the horde of Democratic party voters imported to America to live on crime, welfare, and voting Democrat. More people in flyover country means more seats for Republicans, fewer seats for Democrats, increasing the Democrat problem that the horde of angry white hating criminals that they have imported to vote Democrat tend to cluster in certain locations that are already solidly Democrat. Obama used to dump Somali rapeugees on marginal electorates in flyover country in order to reduce this problem, but that program has of course stopped and those rapeugees are percolating back from marginal electorates in flyover country to big city electorates that are already solidly Democratic Party.
Pruitt on a mission to change the climate of the EPA. The ideology of Anthropogenic Global Warming is motivated by hatred of white men and the industrial civilization we created, and is a rationale for destroying us and destroying our civilization. It is evident from the Climategate files that climate scientists have absolutely no interest in whether the world is getting warmer or cooler, nor whether humans are causing it or not. They are after ammunition, not the truth, they are looking for any mud that they can hurl. The Paris Treaty disproportionately affected America because it was largely targeted at destroying flyover country.

Remember all those libertarians who told us that they supported sodomy, open borders, and race replacment, but they were supposedly totally opposed to taxes and intrusive economic regulation. Have you heard them praise Trump for cutting taxes and economic regulation?
No, they say Trump is the evil big government conservative.
Mick Mulvaney on the Budget, Congressional Scorekeepers and Staying Frugal
Research and Development Priorities. This prioritizes research towards questions that might result in prototypes and demonstrations of feasibility that entrepreneurs could develop for profit and jobs. This is a radical re-orientation from current priorities, which reward finding grounds to regulate private enterprise on real or imaginary externalities, which externalities connect everything to everything else, generating a flood of real and imaginary issues that make all matters too complex for human comprehension.
If an official scientist found something that expanded the power of the regulatory state, he gets cash and prizes, and anyone who attempted to replicate his results had better not disagree. Getting one’s results made into regulation or government programs tended to constitute decisive evidence for the truth and correctness of those results, as in the infamous animal fat controversy. Testing the animal fat question was deemed immoral and dangerous, because we already supposedly knew the answer, though in fact there was no real evidence on the issue, just a “scientific consensus”.

Trump vs. the Regulatory State
President Trump has proved to be a full-spectrum deregulator,
CFPB Now a Deregulation Department, Mick Mulvaney Staffing CFPB with Trump Loyalists The CPFB was a slush fund for the left. The CPFB would threaten to destroy people’s businesses unless they paid off left wing activist groups. Thus it would destroy the productive jobs of whites, and create highly paid political activists. Fewer employed whites therefore fewer Republican votes, more highly paid political activists, therefore more Democratic Party votes. Trump has done far more to defund the left than Reagan did. Similarly, the Justice Department settlement slush fund.

Trump approves US-Mexico pipeline: ‘That’ll go right under the wall’
Oil starts gushing through controversial Dakota Access Pipeline Notice the total lack of protests this time. The left’s inability to marshal its usual rivers of meat is because Trump has slightly reduced their funding. Since funds for the left tend to get stolen by leftists, funding is not very effectual unless continually increased, thus even a small decrease radically reduces left activism.
DOE Announces $6.9 Million for Research on Rare Earth Elements from Coal and Coal Byproducts. It is only a tiny amount of money, but it is an important symbol. For the last sixty years coal has been so evil, racist, hateful, and low status that no high status person would have anything to do with it, but now a bunch of high status people will have to be associated with coal if they want to get some of that gravy. Also, rare earth elements are as high status as coal is low status.
U.S. coal exports soar, in boost to Trump energy agenda, data shows. Remember all those highly credentialed economists swearing that the collapse of the coal industry was a natural result of economic forces, not a regulatory assault by bicoastal elites who hate white men in flyover country and want to destroy their lives. “Trump is lying, those coal jobs are gone and are not coming back.”
By the way, the U.S. has become the world’s dominant energy superpower

Why are we taking in Muslim “refugees” – oh yes, Christians might not vote Democratic.
