Exactly my thoughts.

It is about the definition of making America great again. Ronald Reagan used the same slogan in his 1980 Campaign, but times were way different then. Reagan, in my opinion had completely different ideas than Donald Trump has.

Your thoughts?
Reagan had 8 years of governing experience under his belt, was much more mature, gracious and dignified and had the advantage of being sane.

Trump's biggest accomplishment has been benefiting from his many failures.

The question is, "What is so great about America"?


The political-left wants to turn America into Denmark, and the political-right would rather us be Russia than what we are now.


I'm not exactly sure what you people want Trump to do.


What can he do? Not much, short of isolationism, which simply will not work.

It seems like some people want to see him fail just so that they can say "I told you so".
They're so blinded by their hurt that that dont realize ( or don't care) that a failure of the Trump administration ( or a Clinton administration had she won) would be to the detriment of ALL of us as well as our country.
WTF? Wake up Americans!

Trump's biggest accomplishment has been benefitting from Russia's latest success.

Not enough choices to vote.
I think it will take a combination of factors.
1. Stop investing in everyone else's infrastructure and invest in our own.
2. Stop playing world cop and play good neighbor.
3. Enforce our immigration/ labor laws.
4. Our education system is in desperate need of an overhaul.
5. Our medical care is priced way out of reach.

I won't vote on this poll because . . . I really don't know!

I did not vote for Trump. However, I am hopeful he will bring about some good things for those of us in the middle class. We have to give him time and a chance. Although I dislike his crass un-presidential style, I accept this is whom now fills the role of POTUS. He's our Commander-In-Chief.

Let's see where we're at 1 year from now.

He might not make America great again, but he won't care. He's too busy building Trumperica.
