As a Trump supporter, that is my critique of his presidency so far. He's creating a flurry of activity, Tweets, pictures of meetings with foreign leaders, etc., but there are no actionable items he is actually determined to complete. It's not unreasonable to suspect that Trump is still watching Celebrity Apprentice re-runs for 6 hrs per day and the idea that he's getting so many things done is just a well-crafted facade.

I think he should focus on his vision of lowering the corporate income tax rate to 20%. Wasn't he supposed to be a great negotiator? He should negotiate with Congress a plan that gets the corporate tax rate to 20%. Then he has a real accomplishment he can point to, and Americans will see/feel the positive effects of it when business starts booming. Sure, the stock market has already surged to record levels, but remember that the stock market is forward thinking. It's already had priced into it the assumption that we're going to have massive tax reduction and deregulation under Trump.

Yeah, placing a greater tax burden on the working/middle class will totally get the economy booming.

The boom will be felt in the Cayman Islands. That's pretty much it.

As for Trump focusing, lol. A 3rd grader who just drank a 2 liter of Coke has a better attention span than that nitwit.

Trump is incapable of focusing on anything except his ego.

Get used to it because it's not going to change.

He is a fake, a fraud.

Day by day his lying promises are exposed.

Other than signing his name on meaningless EO's, he's gotten NOTHING done in Congress.

He is becoming toxic to R's in Congress. They no longer want to be associated with him. They will not risk their necks for him, they never liked him.

The only solution is for Pence to take over...at least for now, the R's in Congress WILL support Pence.

But the longer this fool is in the WH, the more likely even Pence is tainted.

Time for his supporters to pivot to Pence.

I don't think we should expect Trump to tell "all" like Obama did. What is going on behind the Walls of the WH doesn't need to be shown or broadcast to the world thus giving everyone a heads up when it comes to combating it including those that would do us harm.

Having voted for Trump because I trusted that he had the best interest of our country at heart, I don't sweat the small stuff. I understand where he is coming from and where he will go with it.

Trump is a patriotic American citizen, like myself, and we are tired of being the doormat to the rest of the world. Anyone or any country that is a doormat, isn't the best they can be. Just let him do his thing, and we'll be fine.

Sad that so many refuse to give him a chance and throw their terrible twos tantrums, must be burning up excess funding from the failed Clinton campaign. Watching the Democratic party self-destruct just like their failed candidate!

Trump hasn't even been POTUS for 2 months of the 8 years that he will serve, plenty of time to get it all covered and Pence can continue to do the repairs after Trump serves his 8 years! Getting it done, making America great again!!! I remember what we were and I have watched what we have become.

Obama left him such a mess it's hard to figure out where to start .

He seems to be making pretty good progress far considering he has been in office just one month .

I have respect for OP that he can admit Trump needs to get it together. We need more Trump supporters who can do that so the Dump is held accountable because their voice matters more than the Liberals voice at this point. We certainly don't need a bunch of ignorant cheerleaders who still live in Lala land. Those people are the Dump enablers and must wake up before things get worse.

The 20% corp rate tax needs to be accompanied by equal reductions in corporate subsidies.

Talking Trump needs to FOCUS

The ONLY thing he focuses on is tRump.

"I won! Biggest electoral victory since Reagan!" LIE

"I won! Biggest inauguration crowd in history. Period!" LIE

"I won! I got the popular vote, too. Well, if you don't count the 5 million illegal votes." LIE

Most Americans can see the developing pattern here.

Poor ol' Donny...

He's like the dog that caught the ambulance.
