The hell?

Repeal Obamacare
Progress. Altered and gutted by executive orders that allow greater cross-state competition and end illegal subsidies not approved by Congress. They are attacking the mandate with the tax bill next.

Ban Muslims
A) It was never the point to ban Muslims, but he is reducing immigration from terrorist sponsoring countries due to new vetting procedures.

B) There is already a Supreme Court Date for this, and they will back Trump.

Build wall and get Mexico to pay for it
No need. illegal immigration down 64% through simple enforcement. No one needed to pay a dime.

Cut funding to most American cities
A) See above.
B) This will go to the Supreme Court who will back Trump. Enjoy it while you can.

Bring Back Jobs to America
Unemployement is the lowest in 40 years. The followng companies have announced American re-investment, sometimes specifically citing Trump.

SoftBank $50B
Exxon $20B
Hyundai $3.1B
Apple $1B
Chrysler $1B
GM $1B
Bayer AG $1B
Toyota $600M
LG $250M


He is also opening up trade with China:

WINNING! It is all going according to plan, Trump is just having to employ a more incremental approach. There is more than one way to skin a cat. I had reservations but can't wait to vote for him again.

He has done a dozen other cool things, but you have failed by your own metric, so we will leave it at that.

What's your take on that?

The funny thing is this is the very kind of thing the "right" has condemned for years. The Federal government threatening states with funding for not doing what they want.

Time for California to secede. I've had it with their attitude.

Sanctuary cities are a violation of the Constitution, because these cities (and State of CA) are knowingly harboring illegal aliens, which is a violation of Federal Law. The States created the Federal Government and delegated to it the power to create uniform rules for immigration and naturalization. These cities are, in effect, creating their own rules by allowing anyone who has entered the country illegally to remain, without fear of arrest. They refuse to cooperate with Federal authorities in enforcing immigration law.

For that reason, in my view, they should not be receiving taxpayer money; money paid by every taxpayer in the country who are all affected by their irresponsibility. They are given drivers licenses in CA, which also allows them to vote, and they are even given access to government benefits, which is another violation of Federal Law. I have cited the relevant laws in many previous posts on this subject.

The solution to this, it seems ...according to what the court said ...would be for all future funding bills, to make grants contingent upon whether or not a city has declared itself a "Sanctuary City," and specifically barring those cities from participating in any grant programs. The court said that these funds have already been granted by Congress, and therefor cannot be withdrawn (I disagree, but that's what they have said).

What a coincidence the judge is from CA. Who would have guessed? This issue needs to make it's way to the Supreme Court.

Allowed Chip program to lapse. I'd call that a glaring flaw of this POTUS.

The catalyst effect of the economy and employment is usually generated years prior to the seated president taking office. Rarely has a president stepping into office been able to accurately proclaim they alone created the job increase in their first year..Unless it was wartime and they wanted brownie points in consideration of all lives that would be lost under their war command. Do tell how's that going with trumps promise to help the agriculture industry? Those farmers are still waiting on that side. Ohh that's right..Sell the land for fracking or to the oil industry.
