Let me spell it out for you. People voted for a flawed yet independent businessman rather than a known liar and corrupt politician -- in a desperate effort to get the good old boy political system cleaned up, and get some common sense measures enacted - like ending the coddling of illegal immigrants, getting tough with ISIS & terrorism, and a few others. We wanted a Washington more concerned about America First than 'climate change' or bathroom controversies. That is why you have Trump in there. You are very welcome.

I don't think so. I mean maybe she should look within?

It's like if your house needed a new roof, so you burned it down.

You are his key demographic.

The market is up but economics is a long term game, I think Trump gutting things like EPA requirements and bank laws (you know, the ones that help the middle class from getting taken by the banks) DID help the market.

Obamacare hasn't been replaced.

The travel ban is in court.

Yes, on tax cuts. The rich and corporations are very happy.

Nothing has really been done on the border except some example walls.

Consumer confidence shot up, and then came back down lower than lower than before.

Unemployment numbers have been coming down since around 2012.

He hasn't done a lot of trade deals.

At the end of the day time will tell.
