Trump is backtracking on every promise, one by one.
First, he's keeping the components that make obamacare bankrupt.
Now he's keeping NATO, despite threatening to tear it apart.
He's no longer building a wall, and he's not making a strong effort to deport illegals.
Trump is becoming Obama 2.0.
Y'all can relax now.
Trump doesn't know wtf he's doing, so he'll leave everything more or less the same as obama left it.
So, to win the 2020 election, all you have to do to win is to make empty threats and promises and fool the people into voting for you.
Actually, it one understands how the world works, they expect much of this. I learned long ago, the hard way, that when you are going negotiate with others, you go in asking for 100% of what your dream is and hope to walk away after the negotiations with just over 50% and will feel like a winner in the end.
We do not have a monarchy, thus Trump will not be "king". We have 3 branches of government making decisions, maybe this will help those that supported Clinton:
I know some here are unfamiliar with how our government and business work. Gee, I thought Clinton's supporters were "educated". Is that they cannot apply what they have learned. Geesh, I had American Government and Economics in high school.
I have noticed a definite lack of "tools" among Clinton's supporters as they focused on which celebrity was supporting Clinton.
Fine with me. I was disgusted by Trump during the campaign and voted almost straight ticket D as a result.
If he backtracks and governs as a moderate centrist then that's WAY better than I expected of him.
I'm sure his supporters will be hating his guts after a while for telling them so many lies but honestly anyone with a brain could tell how many lies he was spewing during the campaign so it shouldn't be coming as any surprise to them.
Trump supporters are in denial. Even if he and the Republicans screw up the next four years, they'll find a way to blame the democrats despite the fact that the GOP will control all 3 branches of government. No point in trying to convince them. I work with a rabid Trump supporter who swears up and down Trump won the popular vote despite overwhelming evidence Hilliary won it.
The Total Meltdown Hysteria is quite incredible. President Elect Trump doesn't take the Oath of Office until January 20, 2017 .......... and the wild stories about what he has already done as President are rampant.
We used to have this quaint thing in the USA called Education, now we have Hysterical Snowflakes and Hysterical Teachers of Snowflakes.
It's not hysteria...it is major concern and disgust. Trump has ALREADY shown the country who he is and how he operates. His history tells us all we need to know. He is filling his cabinet with many of the very individuals that have ****ed the country in the past with their extreme and self-serving ideologies. When someone shows you who they are...BELIEVE THEM!
The border fences that have been erected because of the Border Fence Act, are working just fine. Just google El Paso, Tx border fence. Since the fence has gone up, illegal crossings are significantly down. More importantly, crime is down in El Paso which has been ranked the safest large city in the U. S. for four consecutive years. El paso averages less than twenty murders a year. Meanwhile, thirty murders are reported every month across the border in Juarez, Mexico.

Talk about splitting hairs. Either you're misinformed, ignorant, naive, or just being obtuse. You decide because I can't spell it out any clearer. From my previous post:
"Walls were never a part of the Border Fence Act. While Trump has called for a wall to be built, a fence is fine and has been proven to be just as effective."
The material used to build the wall/fence is irrelevant, the fact is, they work.
I was thinking the same from Trump's statements so far but then with the appointment of the alt right lunatic Bannon as chief strategist there's kind of a mixed message there. Too early to tell I think.
I think this is Trump's I'm for ALL the people move.
Problem is, I think Trump needs a little reminder of the history of this nation and where we've come from. Certain belief systems do not belong in the modern world, and white supremacy is one of them. Let's see if the White House under Trump embraces such beliefs, or Bannon was hired for his hardline approach and his past beliefs won't be allowed.
And the poor coal miners in West Virginia really thought that Trump was going to reopen the mines...
Oh, i didn't realize Trump was already in office. You seem yo think 1 week after becomming the President-elect, that he has the power to do ANYTHING on US policy..I thought Giggles the socialist golfer in chief was still supposed to be running things...
