President Trump plays his most important role yet — Santa Claus at Christmas

Donald Trump has played the part of TV host, business mogul, and President of the United States, but his most visible role yet may be that of Santa Claus this Christmas.

In an eleventh-hour press conference from the Oval Office before heading to Mar A Lago on Friday for Christmas weekend, President Trump signed into law yet one more promise to the American people: sweeping tax reform.

{mosads}Of all his accomplishments this year, and there are many — record highs on the stock market and record lows in unemployment, among numerous other things — Trump’s ability to orchestrate the biggest tax reform package in the nation’s history will be the most noticed primarily because it will benefit nearly every pocketbook in America.

On the one hand, democrats correctly argue that fat cats in corporate America received the largest tax cuts; however, on the other hand they miss the point entirely that those tax cuts will have widespread effects on the American worker.

Even Trump admitted the reaction to its passage had been swifter than he expected. Within minutes of the passage of the tax reform bill, corporate America rushed to announce employee bonuses, new hiring, and capital investment — the impact of which will be felt immediately.

AT&T announced it will invest $1 billion in capital into U.S. projects, as well as give $1,000 bonuses to 200,000 American workers.

Comcast — the parent company of NBC and MSNBC, which has been incredibly hard on the president – also announced it will invest $50 billion in the U.S. as a result of the tax reform package.

Wells Fargo also joined the chorus of corporations pledging bonuses and pay raises.

Good news all around.

Sources suggest there are more announcements planned in the coming weeks. American companies are about to embark upon a hiring boom so great, the competition will be fierce. Companies will be akin to “The Bachelor” asking American workers, “Will you accept this rose?”

Even workers in their current employment relationships will begin to see a difference in their paychecks beginning Feb. 1, 2018 as the Internal Revenue Service and scrambles to adjust the tax rates for American workers.

But that won’t stop democrats from rooting against American success, ironically protesting from their iPhones sold by Apple (an American corporation) while sipping their lattes from Starbucks (an American corporation), while streaming their shows provided by Netflix (an American corporation) over a wireless internet connection (provided by a big, bad — yep, you guessed it — American corporation).

Naysayers aside, the effects of this massive tax reform will be vast — I predict beyond any analyst’s wildest predictions. The coming economic boom will be greater than the Reagan years in the 1980s and, with the flattened playing field brought to you by American technology, more small business owners and American workers than ever before will be able to take advantage of the additional capital and disposable income flooding into the U.S. economy.

President Trump knows this and that’s why, just like Santa, his mouth was drawn up in a bow this Christmas weekend.

As we close the year and head into 2018, it is hard to believe that any American or political party, for that matter, would play the role of the Grinch and root against the grand scale of prosperity that is coming.

It is shocking that not a single democrat voted for tax reform. It is even more shocking that any democrat up for re-election voted against it and thereby voted against their own nation embarking upon the greatest economic expansion in history that will provide economic opportunities to millions of Americans who after eight years of the Obama economy just want a shot at prosperity.

My advice to democrats? Get in the Christmas spirit and find a way to root for America, or get left behind in 2018.
