For people who did not vote for Trump :
Can you find one proposal or plan of Trump that you would agree with ?
I guess the thing for me was, while I liked a lot of Trump's proposals during the election, I felt like I couldn't trust what he was saying throughout his campaign. It seemed to me that most of his proposals were made spur of the moment with no regard to how the government actually works or what was within the boundaries set by the Constitution.
Furthermore, he contradicted so many statements that he had made in previous years that I was having a hard time determining if he actually believed in any of his proposals, or was just saying what he thought his audience wanted to hear.
He did back out of the Trans Pacific Partnership, would probably have just killed more US jobs.
That being said, Trump is a lying, cheating, disgusting sexual predator with the intellectual depth of a puddle and the morality of a career criminal. As all his other decisions have shown, from his cabinet picks to his "kill the poor, old, and sick" attempts to "reform" healthcare, he hates the common man and, honestly, hate what America represents. But that's to be expected from a slimebag like him who has never been held accountable for anything in his entire worthless life.
In short, the ONLY reason he killed the Trans Pacific Partnership was because some "dirty liberals" supported it - he doesn't give a damn about US jobs, and will probably find an even "better" way to kill them on his own... but it'll be wrapped up in jingoism and flag-waving, so the far-right will love it.

I did not vote for trump or Hillary, neither was, or is, qualified or skilled enough to run this Nation.
What plans, other than resending of Obama EO's I have not see much in the way of detailed plans, does he actually have any? One needs to actually present something for one to comment, but so far he seems to be simply winging it.
Oh, I did think of one thing I agree with him on, he did not mess with the 2nd A, well not yet anyway.
Which presumes America was great in the past but is not great now. What point in the past are we trying to get back to?
Not a specific point; an ideal.
The office of the presidency has been taking in more and more power since at least WWII. Congress no longer represent the people and instead pander to their parties, who pander to the corporate powers that be. Congress, on top of that, has become largely ineffective and incapable of debate (probably due to the last problem). Political literacy is at an all time low and people are willingly dividing themselves.
I would support a president who wants to do this. Naturally, there's a limit to what they can do. They can give their powers back to congress, or at least not use the additional powers and make a point to do so. Trump does not seem to be in favor of any of these things.
To be clear, I'm not all doom and gloom. Obama didn't 'destroy' the country, or any president before him. The system was designed to withstand blows like this, and while I don't want to rely on that, I do want to retain some semblance of optimism. We aren't ****ed. Not yet.
I agree with him on illegal immigration but it doesn't seem like he's doing that much. Stop wasting time trying to build a stupid wall and DO something. Stop the employers from hiring them, deport them, provide incentives for people to turn them in, etc.
Fix the LEGAL immigration laws so that some of the good ones can get in. The immigration system is badly broken. Let GOOD immigrants come in.
Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land.
I like all the cuts to programs that directly impact rural America like the The Agricultural Research Service and many others. Hit Trump voters where it counts! Bye-bye, Kentucky.
