Tired Yet of Winning?

Candidate Trump promised his voters that they'd win so much in a Trump presidency that they'd get tired of winning. We'll see if exhaustion eventually sinks in, but it hasn't so far for most Americans.

National Review's Jim Geraghty sums up yesterday's column on some of Trump's recent successes with this:
To sum up, the Iranian nuclear program is now smoldering rubble;

Europe’s ready to enact tough sanctions on Tehran again; the Russian economy is creaking with strain; NATO’s stronger than ever; the Chinese are holding their export-focused economy together with duct tape;

Unemployment’s low; inflation’s still mostly okay for now, the stock market is roaring;

The tax cuts have been preserved;

PEPFAR (The anti-AIDS African program) is preserved;

Planned Parenthood is so financially squeezed the organization might go under;

The wealthy, snooty, and overwhelmingly left-wing universities finally get to pay those higher taxes they’ve been calling for all these years.
Altogether it's such a refreshing change after four years of lassitude, drift, and corruption. President Trump and his administration are engineering this renaissance, but the American people, and indeed the people of the world, are the beneficiaries.

Go here and here for more examples of winning.
