Part of how President Trump will avoid dependence on the media.
The President-elect shares an update on the Presidential Transition, an outline of some of his policy plans for the first 100 days, and his day one executive actions.
Liberty Quote
The much abused shopkeepers have abolished slavery and serfdom, made woman the companion of man with equal rights, proclaimed equality before the law and freedom of thought and opinion, declared war on war, abolished torture, and mitigated the cruelty of punishment. What cultural force can boast of similar achievements?

Yes – America first. World has to accept this.
That sounds so refreshing.
Stopping the enemy orcs of obama from using lobbying positions to sabotage the Trumpening is denying resources to enemy forces, why not do that in Australia?.
More winning. He better not do an Abbott when he gets in.
I think his dressing down of the media moguls was to let them know he doesn’t respect nor need them whilst telling his base I am in all the way on what I said I woudl do.
This is the way.
Never use the main stream media.
This is just common sense.
Now Malcom, your turn.
Waffle away on youtube.
That should be fun.
Impressive. That’s a leader folks!
He’s making Maolcolm look exactly like the very small man that he truly is.
s
My poor country, we do not have a leader like that.
NADT, but the best we could hope for is a war with the US of A. The we would be rebuilt properly.
I can’t see anything wrong in that. I wish we had him here. It’s not as though we don’t know what is necessary now………
[but malcom got a selfie off hussein obama, that is something they can never take away from him.]
What do you expect when both our major parties are of the Left, each one trying to outdo each other over Leftist ideals and aims.
Sack sloppy joe and replace the tub with Jennifer Hawkins. I am sure it would mean we get the high level access we need.
Or Greg Norman.
Motelier, we could get President Trump to just invade and annex Australia. After some years as a territory we could become a State or two. Think of the savings in State government costs for years.
Civil aviation would benefit hugely by being run under US rules. I’d love to see all the CASA employees turned out into the street.
Maybe Blair could run a poll on who the best Ambassador to a Trumpen USA would be.
No! No! Maocolm is a fiscally responsible closet libertarian!
He will repeal 18C and remove obstructive taxes on small business, thus revitalising our economy and creating real jobs in the private sector!
*thrashes wildly*
I may have been wrong about the man.
He may actually do it.
Christ I hope so.
I love the way he does the little asides commenting on his own speech:
“About time”.
“So important”.
It is a really effective rhetorical style I have not heard employed before by a politician.
DT is not a politician, as we have come to expect. Reminds me of past Australian PMs and USA Presidents, when we had only a few newspapers who actually report events and there were no other forms of communications.
Wow. The green-left MSM is working itself up into a frenzy over Trump’s selection of Senator Jeff Sessions as Attorney General.
It’s dawning on the MSM that Trump is not intending to placate the green-left establishment empire – he intends to utterly destroy its monuments, plough the ruins and salt the ground.
Dunno about that. I think he is more beneficial to Britain and America (and us) being a gadfly stinging the self-serving policy makers in the UK, rather than living in the US passing on shitty policy from a now less nervous UK establishment.
Somehow, Trump’s pledge to encourage innovation in the US economy sounds more credible than Turnbull’s $500 million (over 4 years) investment in STEM, coding, and ‘jobs of the future’.
Drain the Swamp. What’s not to like.
From the linked Atlantic piece…
The fact that they are able to write this without using an exclamation mark says it all, really.
Mind you, on a per heads of population basis, we do little or no better…
Remove 2 regulations before implementing a new one.
He has obviously read and understood Peter Drucker and Bob Townsend (“Up The Organization”).
Go, man, go! 🙂
A man who knows how to use power.
Magnificent!
–and I believe he means every word. No double-speak or pander to globalist interests.
Motelier, we could get President Trump to just invade and annex Australia. … We can only hope.
Simply magnificent.
Trump is showing how it should be done – even if you don’t like what he says, his approach is to be direct and firm. Malcolm Turnbull needs to take note of this – Scott Morrison shows flashes of this, and Tony Abbott was also pretty good at it. Our politicians need to stop with the useless rhetoric and double-speak and get on with business. Don’t hide anything behind waffle, just say what it is that needs to be said and get on with it. And know and believe what you’re saying.
I recognise that the GOP has control of the Congress and of the Senate and so Trump can speak with an air of leadership that comes from authority. We need clearer choices in Australia – we have 2 leftist political leaders whose intent is to either keep or take power for no other reason than personal ambition, but neither show the leadership necessary to guide this country forward.
… aaaand there is Waffleworth’s problem.
I wonder whether all those pompous bigoted Leftards of “Political Editors”. activists, propagandists, toadies and professional mis-handlers of the truth, suddenly sense that their jobs might be on shaky ground indeed, if THIS national Leader has a long memory and the testicular fortitude to do something about past untruths?
How different to our own “fearless Leader” who keeps grovelling to vile A.L.P. tyre-pumpers and no matter how many times he is ridiculed by ranting Labor bigots, he still lacks the sense to acknowledge the 100% bias against him, or the spine to do anything about it.
The day he dies, I suggest that his thick hide be harvested (he has plenty of it) and installed as the front doormat at the A.L.P.B.C. studios.
In death, as in life.
“On regulation, I will formulate a rule which says that for every one new regulation, two old regulations must be eliminated, it’s so important.”
You magnificent bastard Trump.
Commence the draining.
To which the Australian School of J’ism would respond:
“but he’s just a golfer!”
To which the correct response would be:
“So was the 44th POTUS. At least Norman is a professional.”
Motelier, we could get President Trump to just invade and annex Australia. After some years as a territory we could become a State or two.
Or we could imitate the plot of The Mouse That Roared with Malcolm Turnbull in Peter Sellers’ roles.
I love it that he says “creating WEALTH and jobs…”, putting wealth first. A tiny detail, but how subversive!!
For eons (since Keynes, probably) pollies of all sides have brayed about the need to “create jobs”. Jobs schmobs. You expand the public service by 50%, you create “jobs”. But you don’t create wealth. In fact the country is bound to be the poorer for it, excepting a privileged few.
Just concentrate on getting the state out of the frigging way and letting people create wealth for themselves. The jobs – real jobs – will follow.
God bless that man.
meanwhile here in Melbourne a violent criminal who was arrested after a wild across town car chase finishing up on the west gate bridge being blocked by several police has been given bai!!l, even though he has been given bail how many times now? with a long string of offences to be brought before the courts, Victoria Melbourne now the CRIME capital of Australia! If some of these Hollywood entertainers want to quit the US I think I would interested in doing a deal with them LOL
good point!
That is what the media now call “far right”.
No wait.
“Extreme right wing”.
Hmm. That doesn’t sound scary enough.
“Deeply right wing extremist”.
Or maybe just “hate speech”.
That’s one aspect of Trump that I will be fascinating to watch, a business man in charge for once, one who is not totally indoctrinated in the grubby of world of insider politics; if that brief press release is any indication then a whole bunch of public servants are also in for an interesting time, and god bless their little hearts.
for fun he should regularly introduce toothless regs, just to see what can be gotten rid of.
It will all depend on if he can bring the house of reps and the senate with him. No guarantee there. They are real politicians. AKA scum.
A lifetime ban on lobbying for foreign governments.
Oy Vey, this is VERY anti semitic.
By demanding a lifetime ban on foreign lobbying, this essentially will exclude all those ‘dual citizens’.
Boris Johnson:
Game, Set and Match to Boris.
You have to love the fact that he once again bypassed the media by cutting his own youtube video to get his message out.
Then he ripped their arrogant heads off in a meeting where they thought they would be calling the shots and, I suspect, told them to get their collective act together and start acting like journalists or get used to being bypassed entirely.
Never thought I’d say it but thank goodness for twitter and youtube.
