So for an elected president that is set to serve for 4 years, and not even in office yet, we are going to analyze him DAILY and judge him every day? If so it's going to be one hell of a roller coaster ride of opinions. I will judge him by the month or longer, or based on certain individual legislation he may push through. The craze of judging him now is nuts, as he is not president yet.
Words are words. He's not a great orator. And he's a hot headed businessman.
I never liked Clinton and liked Trump's F-You attitude. But I always thought he would start to act more presidential after he was elected president.
From what I saw on today's press conference, that does not seem to be the case. He was acting like a maniac. He continued to trash our nation's intelligence agencies. He lashed out at the press. And for me, the most damaging was that he said he would not release his tax returns. He told us he would release them after his audit. Now he is saying he will not. I actually want to see them. I thought nothing of it when he said he'd release them after the audit, but now I feel fooled.
He also seemed very angry. He seems to have gone back on many of his promises. It is almost like he is working for the elite and only worried about himself.
I am still holding out hope, but did I make a major mistake voting for Trump?
P.S. I understand that living in NY, and us having the electoral college, my vote probably didn't even matter, but I voted with my heart and for what I thought was best for our country.
I think his rebuke of the CNN reporter was justified, and he did it with more eloquence than was justified.
The reality is starting to set in for the president-elect. I give him a year tops before he cracks under the pressure. I wish I could say that I'll enjoy watching the unraveling, but I don't relish the upheaval facing the country as he struggles with the demands of the office. He simply does not have what it takes, and I'm sorry that all of us, him included, are going to learn that the hard way.
LOL!! You probably are one of the ones who said there was no way he would be elected! You supported Hillary, right?

Your post is ridiculous. Save it for the tabloids.
It's always about policy.
That's the conservative dilemma. It's all black and white with no shades of grey. Meanwhile, I never see them call out the poster that claims to have voted for Obama and has done nothing but vilify him on this forum.
I tried to call out my wife for voting for Obama; but she tells me to shut up! She also tells me she would never make that mistake again! Of course we are not going to give her that third chance!
I said this before: So far Trump is doing what he said he would do - that is more than most Presidents did for their entire term of office.
I have said this also: I was a Democrat most of my life. My one true belief is a better America for Americans and legal immigrants - regardless of political Party. I think that our work conditions and pay should continually improve. I also feel the way to accomplish that is that employers do not need a glut of employees where they can pick and choose. Throwing illegal immigrants or unrestrained green cards into the mix retards wage growth. Employers always scream for more 'qualified' employees; but they really want more 'cheap' employees. It is about meeting the market demands. This is all a balancing act and we could easily turn to the new automation.
I also try not to be a loggerhead. I admit I can make mistakes - I'm human. It is way too early in the game to determine whether or not Trump is a 'mistake'. He has surrounded himself with 'qualified' personnel. If Hillary had any plans for 'change' she never made her point - it simply looked like more of the same.
Are you of the mind that people can't change their perspective based on what they see, hear and think? Its so silly to say that people who voted for Trump can't change their minds without calling them Trump haters. What kind of creatures would we be if we never changed our minds or reevaluated previous choices?
People would not be called "Flip-Floppers", a favorite insult tossed around by elected officials and their supporters. Once you make a decision you must not change that position FOR LIFE or risk being accused of flip-flopping.
A year or two down the road you would have regretted voting for Clinton a lot more.
I voted for Trump and I don't regret doing so, it's about time we had somebody in the Whitehouse with enough guts to stand up for the principles that created our country, and for all decent Americans.
