FIVE STORIES PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT YOU TO MISS

The Economy’s Post-Lockdown Comeback -The Wall Street Journal “The U.S. economy grew at a record 33.1% in the third quarter, even after most government transfer payments expired. When politicians lift their lockdowns, and Americans can get on with their prudently cautious lives even in a pandemic, people work, business invests and the economy grows,” The Wall Street Journal editorial board writes. Why Trump's Health Care Price Transparency Rules Will Reignite America's Economy -Fox Business “In a historic win for all Americans on Thursday, President Trump issued a final rule requiring health insurers to post the prices they have negotiated with hospitals, medical facilities, and doctors. Under this rule, health care consumers, including employers sponsoring workplace coverage, can finally know prices before they receive care,” economist and former Reagan adviser Art Laffer writes. I'm the FDA Point Person on COVID-19 Vaccines. We'll Make Sure They're Safe and Effective. -USA Today “With high uptake, COVID-19 vaccines have the potential to save many lives in the United States,” Dr. Peter Marks of the FDA writes. “Therefore, it is critical to be open and transparent about the process that the [FDA] will follow to help make safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines available . . . We pledge to do our duty to the best of our ability, independently and without conflicts of interest.” Secretary of State Pompeo: America First Foreign Policy Is Succeeding -Fox News “An America First foreign policy puts our national interests first, which starts with seeing the world as it is, not as we wish it were,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo writes. “Seeing the world with clear eyes also means recognizing without hesitation who our friends are. America has no greater friend than Israel.” Trump Is the Greatest President in the Modern Era When It Comes to Shaping the Judiciary -The Washington Post “With the Senate’s confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, President Trump has cemented his legacy as the most important president in the modern era when it comes to shaping the judiciary,” Marc Thiessen of the American Enterprise Institute writes. “Trump has made better judicial choices than any modern Republican president.”
