A New Sheriff in Town

A New Sheriff in Town by Bill Wilson

We are seeing the impact of the new leadership. One significant event is President-Elect Donald Trump's off the record meeting with mainstream television network media moguls.

The New York Post broke the insider story depicting how Trump used the time to dress down the media, quoting an unnamed source saying "The meeting was a total disaster. The TV execs and anchors went in there thinking they would be discussing the access they would get to the Trump administration, but instead got a Trump-style dressing-down...Trump kept saying, 'We're in a room of liars, the deceitful, dishonest media who got it all wrong.'"

Since the meeting was off the record, Trump proved once again the media's dishonesty.

 

As someone who has been a media advisor to politicians, chief executive officers and celebrities most of my adult life, I can say with certainty that it took a lot of nerve to gather all the big on-air talent into a room and call them liars.

A lot of people said this was a bad move, but it is the kind of leadership that we may grow to expect from Trump. It's time to shake things up and there is a new sheriff in town who is doing just that.

One of the attributes of President Ronald Reagan was his directness. While he was far more gracious in disagreement than Trump, one always knew where Reagan stood. Trump appears to be that and more. The fact is that the TV execs know they lied.

Trump knows it.

And we know it.

 

Another indicator of new leadership is a little reported event that happened last week. Ford CEO Mark Fields called Trump to tell him that Ford Motor Company was staying in the US rather than moving a plant to Mexico. Of course, the media reported that Trump was wrong all along that Ford didn't intend to move at all.

This is an example of how the media twists things. But Ford and its jobs are staying here and it appears Trump's election had something to do with it.

In fact, business in general is improved already. Saying they are moving from an interest rate-driven market to an earnings-driven market, US stocks have been on an upward swing since Trump's election, setting an all time record high Tuesday.

 

Meantime, the globalist at the United Nations, for example, are crying the blues because their agenda of resettling the world population to make all nations the same is being met with a hard push back.

Antonio Guterres, the incoming UN Secretary General, said that many people are rejecting globalism. He says people in developed nations are rejecting refugees because their jobs have been lost to cheap labor.

Guterres said, "So globalization has not been as successful as we had hoped."

When you think about it, we have had globalist presidents since 1988. It didn't work out so well for us.

Maybe the new Sheriff in town will shake things up more than we thought.

Proverbs 29:2 says, "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice." 

 

Let us pray for righteous leadership.
