President Donald Trump – His “Fitness” and Ability to do the Job
I was invited to the White House to interview the president in November. Mr Trump did very well with talk radio across the country when he ran for the highest office in the land and decided it was time to get back to those of us who do it for a living and those of you who listen to us. Only five shows were invited that day out of thousands in our nation. I was humbled to have been asked. The push for the interview was tax reform. It was something then candidate Trump promised he’d do should he be elected. When listening to campaigners, I usually take what they say with a grain of salt. In fact, I’ve had elected officials on my show actually say things to the effect of, “what you say during a campaign and what you do once you get the job are often very different.” It was a bold admission that this is the way it works, and you should just understand there are differences. For some reason, however, when I watched this man campaign, I g0t the feeling he was saying what he’d actually try to get done in the Oval Office. Since his arrival there, he’s clearly tried to do just that. When he sat down in front of me — barely three feet away — and stared me in the eyes, what I saw was a clear-minded man who was on his game. After the initial niceties, we got right into it. Although the reason for the invitation was to talk tax reform and to push for this policy change that would help all Americans who pay taxes, I was given a rare opportunity to ask questions of the leader of the free world. As with all of my interviews, I do NOT give questions beforehand and there was no pre-interview here at all to even discuss general topic ideas. This was, sit down — you get 8 minutes (I took 10) and you’re done. After thanking him for the opportunity, I hit him with:
- Twitter and other social media
- Obamacare and NOT getting it repealed
- Tax Reform and whether the individual mandate could be part of it (I was one of the first to report that it could be part .. and now we know it was)
- Why does he feel the need to hit back when attacked
- The swamp and how there are members from both sides in it
- Seated tons of Constitutionally-minded judges
- Cut taxes immensely
- Repealed the individual mandate
- Made it so hundreds of thousands of workers in our country received big bonuses or raises
- Improved and restored our strength and standing in the world
- Gotten rid of enormous amounts over overbearing regulations so business can thrive again
