I pray he will back away from most of his promises, because they spell disaster.

I too, don't like how Trump back tracks on his promises and statements. I had no illusions of Trump. Lie once. Lie twice, Lie three times is a bit much for a would be President. I have already benefited financially from the Don's lies.

A recent statement by TrumpFoundation, said that it did do "self dealing", Since, the Don, and kids are the directors of TrumpFoundation, there will be could be some severe fines and possible criminal prosecution. Best outcome is for Congress to make an investigation, giving immunity to their tax professionals, lawyers, and to the directors.

Don't expect Republicans to investigate other Republicans. They don't care about the infractions if there is nothing to gain politically.

Take a deep breath.
This guy's a liberal. He's not even interested in Trump. He probably voted for Hillary.

That's why I hope that Trump builds his hotels, casinos and golf courses ALL OVER the effin place. Trump supporters need constant reminders that the MAJORITY of them could NEVER even afford to patronize any of Trump's establishments and would most likely not even be welcome there either.

Yep. $450 to play at his golf course down here in Miami. Not exactly designed for the middle class.

Default But he tells it like it is, right? (snort)

I hope he breaks his promises. Most of them were toxic.

As for those who are complaining now, I can only laugh. This man spent his entire campaign lying and contradicting himself, even to the point of denying having said things that were caught on video *during interviews he knew were being broadcast.*

Nothing in his record has even hinted that he is a man to be trusted, and the evidence of this was right there for all to see.

I have absolutely no sympathy whatsoever for the ostriches who chose to believe him, anyway.

I voted for Trump for one simple reason. For Russia.

I'm am pleased and I know my online efforts were critical to his success and therefore to the continued success of Mother Russia.

What Trump does or does not do in office is little concern to me to be frank. For those that voted for him for some other lofty reason of promises then I can see why they might get dejected.

He seems to be keeping to his word on mending ties with Russia and potentially building and alliance with Russia against ISIS. I have nothing to distress about.

I am well aware of this. Sad for USA to come to this where our Civil Service is more controlled by politics and political appointees rather than by morals and ethics.

In any case, I'm making $$ without trying very hard.
Retired and not all that dependent on SS.
