Trumpism

Originally published at Fox News.

Trumpism
The election of Donald Trump marks the third great effort to break free from Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal system that has dominated American government for more than 80 years.

The first effort to overturn this bureaucratic establishment was Ronald Reagan in 1980.

The second was the Contract with America in 1994, which resulted in the first Republican majority in the House in 40 years.

As I argued in my speech at the Heritage Foundation this week, the third great effort is the movement that Donald Trump now leads.

Trumpism Speech

In all three cases, the elites were contemptuous, the polls were wrong, the propaganda media was relentlessly hostile, and the American people threw out the establishment and the Left to their great shock.

In the first two waves--Reagan in the 1980s and the Republican Revolution of the 1990s---the insurgents accomplished a great deal in a short time but the left-wing, bureaucratic establishment outlasted the popular surge and the old order took back power.

The Trump surge is larger, deeper, and more energetic than the first two waves. It really began in 2010, and although it was undermined by an anti-populist, unaggressive presidential campaign in 2012, it grew stronger again in 2014 and 2016.

At its core this movement is about the American people reasserting control over an arrogant and corrupt political establishment that is both failing and failing to be held accountable.

The Trump surge has the potential to profoundly shift government and society from the New Deal-era big government, bureaucratic, redistributive model to an America based once again on decentralized power, work, optimism, and the effort of individuals, communities, and small groups.

Movements of big change require many activists, but they tend to be built around one personality: George Washington in the American Revolution, Andrew Jackson in the first era of populism, and FDR in establishing big government.

If Trumpism succeeds in replacing the 80-year-old bureaucratic model of government, there is no question who will be the defining figure.

Donald Trump is the only person ever to become president of the United States without first holding public office or having served in the military. In this respect, he is by definition unique and worthy of study.

He has an extraordinary combination of energy, business experience, drive, optimism and courage that make him the best chance in a lifetime to reinvent government.

These qualities are also reflected in President-elect Trump’s cabinet, which the press derides for having real world experience, business acumen, energy, toughness, and records of accomplishment that make them unusual cabinet nominees.

So far, the President-elect has nominated one of America’s greatest retired generals for Secretary of Defense, the CEO of the world’s largest company as Secretary of State, a woman who has spent her life fighting for school choice as Secretary of Education, and a world-class pediatric neurosurgeon who grew up in poverty and speaks with moral authority on the crisis of our inner cities as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

These are extraordinarily impressive people who understand how to achieve things in the real world. The press, which has been consistently wrong about everything this year, would like to brand them as unqualified radicals. That they are far more likely to bring change to Washington than the typical establishment cabinet should be obvious to most Americans--and it is exactly why Donald Trump was elected.

These nominees must understand, however, that they are on the front lines of the fight for change. The Departments and agencies they lead will seek to absorb them and outlast them. That is why it is so important that this new leadership is backed by a movement--millions of Americans who will help them and also hold them accountable.
Your Friend,
Newt

Trump is first since Truman to understand the business of running a country. It is a business and should be treated as such. Pissing off all your money will break you. The U.S. is a prime example. We can catch back up, but we have to plug the hole and stop the bleeding.

We had a nigger president, and he ran things like a nigger, pure and simple. Free shiot and government handouts. That's all the majority of them know.

Now is the time to clean the place up, and get back to business.

Best of luck with that. While I hope for the best he still, and will, have not only the dems but Ryan fighting him most every step of the way. The first 100 days will hopefully show strides but after that it will likely be obstructionism. Hopefully I'm wrong.

You want the Republicans to blindly go along with the VILE trumpster when he rolls out his left-wing agenda bull shyt?
How about when he demands they drop all investigation of the Benghazi queenie?

If you're talking to me, I don't really care what repubs do. I'm interested in the decisions that are best for the nation without political bias. The extreme polarization we have seen under Bush & Oboy needs to lessen, if not stop. As for killary, if it was illegal before the election then it's illegal after. Don't make it a witch hunt, let independent council handle that.

Well put. I have no allegiance to a candidate or party. What's right is right. Both side have their problems, and I don't agree with every single thing that our pres elect says. The sooner that our lawmakers start thinking on their own and using common sense without dependance on their party to tell them what to think, the better.

Village Idiot,

Good luck with that our only hope thing.

OK. Then let me blame Bush for being Oboy's best benefactor. Just as Oboy was Trump's! It's a shame when the leader of the free world does such a poor job the sheeple have no other choice than to swing totally the other way. I guess that would be AC/WashingtonDC!

President Bush rolled over for the FLEEBAGGERS so much that the cost was the FLEEBAGGERS gaining control of Congress in '06 so it is down right disingenuous to blame raging partisanship on him!
The VILE trumpster has you "semi-stupid-voters" so befuddled that out of one side of your mouth you want politicians that think for themselves and in the next breath if they defy your shining idol, the Vile trumpster, they are TRAITORS!
Tough to have it both ways but when you throw in with a "life-long leftist loon" that's what you end up having to try and do!!!!

Village Idiot, nice delete and repost like nobody would notice...lol

Geeze Larry! All those failures and still countless times more successful than you are!
Nobody succeeds at everything they try the first time. Generally, those who succeed at huge things fail very large many times before hitting a big success. Just the way it goes. Some people have a larger tolerance for risk than others. If we didn't have risk takers in this world, we would be missing some huge things.

In Never Give Up, Donald tells the dramatic stories of his biggest challenges, lowest moments, and worst mistakes--and how he uses tenacity and creativity to turn defeat into victory.

Bush was a pu ssy.
