Trump, Thank God

This year, I’m thanking God for Donald Trump. Imagine a world without him.

President Kamala Harris would be ordering 100,000 American soldiers to defend the front lines in Ukraine this winter. Wars would be raging around the world. She’d have removed any remaining barriers to entry for the entirety of the world’s poorest and most culturally alien immigrants. All pushback against sexual medical mutilations of minors would cease, and trans pediatric clinics would be awash in federal funds. DEI rules would increase institutional racism at every federal institution, university, and corporation.

Massive tax increases would make today’s inflated prices look good. The constant sight of Vice President Tim Walz on TV would catastrophically lower national testosterone reserves dramatically. The birth rate would enter an unrecoverable spiral, and Alejandro Mayorkas would spike the football and declare victory on the completion of the Great Migration. Meanwhile, Donald Trump would be in prison for life as a political enemy. In protest, there would be mass disengagement from civic life as people who realized their country was gone quit the military, quit law enforcement, and quit even identifying as American.

It would have been the end of the end of the end.

And yet: prices are still too high. The birth rate isn’t bouncing back. DOGE has been defunded. Around 2 million illegals have been deported or left voluntarily since January. At that rate, we may see a total of 8 million deported in four years — which is mind-bogglingly good, but far from the 20–50 million entrants who should not be here. The H-1B visa program is still being abused to ruin citizens’ working lives. Our biggest cities remain unrecognizable to those who grew up in them. Local crime — not really under the jurisdiction of the president — produces lurid and insane murder stories that involve felons with dozens and dozens of arrests allowed to roam the streets freely by woke DEI judges who continue to practice “sentencing reform” religiously.
