Well the blue half of the nation is being trolled, that's for sure. And their reactions are far more precious and hilarious than anyone could have predicted.
It is a damn shame, but hey its what they seem to have voted for.
But they'll just keep focusing on "liberals" or how trump is treating the media or muslims or Mexicans or BLM oh they'll find plenty of distractions as they ignore the reasons why they say they supposedly voted for Trump which was all about manufacturing. lol
I keep saying but this election has proven that for conservatives they don't seem to actually care about the public policy stuff they talk about.
Again, we heard 3 big things about Trump, he was an outsider, he was gonna drain the swamp and stop the gravy train of crony capitalism and long serving politicians benefiting from being in government financially, and he was gonna focus on bringing back manufacturing jobs, and immigration.
Ok based on HIS CABINET selections which of those goals besides immigration is he hitting?
Not one, he has brought in the same cast of characters so he isn't acting like an outsider. He has brought in economic elites and the same long time politicians, and his "deals" so far to save jobs are crony capitalism, and none of his cabinet members has made a career of caring about manufacturing or American workers, but they **** off liberals.
And the man won't even release his own financial information so we can't even know if he has personal financial conflicts of interest, so he isn't going to be stopping politicians from profiting from being in government.
And do his supporters care that so far based on his cabinet appts he is doing none of the stuff he claimed he was gonna do in terms of jobs, draining the swamp, ending crony capitalism preventing politicians from enriching themselves?
all you trump naysayers keep harping on the "trump doesnt know anything" crap, and its getting old. i bet that trump knows more about government than most of you naysayers, and that you naysayers are just spouting off about trump because you are still butt hurt about hillary losing the election.
The only thing Trump knows about government is how to get out of paying taxes....nothing else.

As the list of Cabinet nominations keeps growing, I can't help but think either President Elect Cheeto doesn't know what the named departments actually do, or he just is nominating people to mess with them.
For example:
Your National Security Advisor is a firm believer and supporter of conspiracy theories (Flynn) and Chief Strategist is a Nazi, sorry, I mean alt right propagandist.
Labor Secretary Puzder is a CEO for fast food, and an expert at exploiting labor, but now is tasked with protecting them
EPA head Pruitt has literally made a career out of suing the EPA on behalf of the fossil fuel industry, and doesn't believe in climate change.
Treasury Secretary Mnuchin is leaving the fox in charge of the henhouse as a Goldman Sachs exec and zero government experience.
Linda McMahon of WWE fame is the head of the Small Business administration, after she's made her entire career out of crushing small independent businesses and potential competitors to the WWE.
It's like it's opposite day in Trump Tower, or no one has told his cheeseship that the goal of the Secretaries is to support the portfolio, not destroy it.
Pence's fingerprints are all over this. Republicans always appoint incompetent people to head the govt. agencies. GWB did the same thing.
It's not surprising.
Trump is delegating everything. He really doesn't want the job. He just wants the adulation he gets at the rallies.
Trump is going to spend the next 4 years doing rallies. What a bore!
Pence is going to run the WH. The swamp has gotten murkier and deeper.

Your right.... Mr trump does not know anything about them..... HE IS MESSING WITH EVERYONE.... He didnt really wanna be elected and now he is gonna make everyone sorry!!!
We all may not have voted for Donald Trump, but he is the elected POTUS and all of us. IMO, we are all in this together. I will always wish him well.
Now comes a guy in charge of the FDA who thinks there is no need to test drugs for efficacy, just put them on the market and see what happens.
We did not test drugs for efficacy before the Kefauver-Harris Amendment in 1962 and had few problems. Heart patients died by the tens of thousands in the 60's and AIDS patients by the tens of thousand in the 80's while waiting on the FDA to approve life saving drugs. That amendment should be repealed. It has killed too many already while pushing up the price of drugs.
Milton Friedman:
Quote:
…The 1962 [Kefauver] amendments to the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act should be repealed. They are doing vastly more harm than good. To comply with them, FDA officials must condemn innocent people to death. In the present climate of opinion, this conclusion will seem shocking to most of you—better attack motherhood or even apple pie. Shocking it is—but that does not keep it from also being correct. Indeed, further studies may well justify the even more shocking conclusion that the FDA itself should be abolished.”
