More Trump Administration Wins

This week brought three noteworthy articles about ways that the administration of President Donald Trump is having profoundly positive effects on America:

The first topic is jobs.

There is one chart that the President re-election campaign should be "plastering absolutely everywhere," according to Fox Business host Deirdre Bolton. See that graphic, above. 

As Fox News noted:

The average unemployment rate nearly three years into President Trump's administration is 3.9 percent -- a 50-year low. The next best employment statistic was recorded during President George W. Bush's first term at 5.5 percent.

That statistic coupled with the fact that the wages of American workers are rising for the first time in years presents a challenge for Democrats in the 2020 election, according to the "Deep Dive" panel.

The second change concerns energy.

Bryan Preston at PJMedia writes: 

You won’t hear this from the media, but America under President Trump is doing well. Very well, in fact. A true read of the state of our union is simple: We’re strong and we’re getting stronger fast... There’s almost too much good news to pack into one paragraph. It all points to growing American strength just a few years after President Barack Obama mused aloud about a “post-American world.”

... The US is now the world’s largest energy producer and a net exporter. Instead of depending on the unstable Middle East, we’re depending on North Dakota and Texas. This changes everything.

The third big impact comes from judges.

Ballotpedia just released a statistical analysis of federal judicial vacancies as Trump entered office and likely to become available during his term. 

According to the report:

• Of the 870 life-term federal judicial positions, Trump inherited 108 vacancies. Not since Bill Clinton has an incoming president had the opportunity to fill this many life-term appointments to Article III courts at the start of an administration.
• The 108 vacancies represented roughly one in every eight life-term judicial positions (12.41%).
• Over half, or approximately 438, judges currently serving in these 870 positions will be eligible to take senior status, thereby creating a judicial vacancy, by the end of 2020. This means there is a possibility that 50.3 percent of life-term appointments could be vacant by the end of Trump's first term.

Over at the Legal Insurrection blog, William A. Johnson notes that, "Having lost the House, Senate and presidency, and being devastated at the state level, Democrats/liberals risk losing the judiciary as well. And they have Harry Reid and the other Democrats who went nuclear in 2013 to thank for it."
