I felt that way the night of the election. The tone in his victory speech was very impressive and I posted on C-D that I was optimistic. Then he began to send those middle of the night tweets and campaigning again, and my attitude changed.

I think corporations already have this. I was paid 6-8 weeks, and was giving the choice to work from home until my kids were at least 2 years old. Let's not get too radicalized.

We all want America to prosper. You can continue to doubt him, but at some point you are going to realize that the guy beats expectations.

I thought Trump was doing a great job, then I realized I was watching a rerun of SNL and Alec Baldwin !

Actually, I forgot this was on tonight and forgot to watch. All of your posts were very descriptive, so I have a pretty good idea how it went.

Indeed, I prefer pathologicals to be polite.

Please don't use my message of praise to the guests for your political agenda. Don't we get enough of that from the media? There is no "however" when it comes to these guests. Shame on you.

However, didn't President Trump propose to drastically cut the budget for medical research?

I am sure he will go back to those and dems/pubs will go back to trashing each other. I will end my night on this good note, before it all goes down the crapper again tomorrow.....LOL!

So-called President is trying really really hard to live up to Mr. Bannon's expectations!

Lucky you! Guess what. Most people don't work for corporations! Trump promised to help "the people." "The people" do not work for corporations. You like it when it's for YOU, but you're against anyone else getting it.
