How the "stupid party" created Trump

Just to keep this simple. Trump is not anti-trade. Nothing could be further from the truth.

He is anti things like NAFTA and TPP which have been horrible for the country.

He isn't against immigration. He is against illegal immigration.

This guy is a status quo defender and the status quo is not working for millions.

How about accepting that he is a belligerent man, driven by delusion of self grandeur

Really? Because the country is in much better shape than it was when Obama took over. Back in 2008 I couldn't get a job, now I have plenty of options and happily employed. I went from a $32k salary in 2009 to a $75k one now. In 2008 nothing was being built in Chicago and projects that were underway were stalled. Now? Buildings are being built everywhere, and they are even building a new tower that will be taller than Trump's Chicago tower. Aside from Illinois fiscal problems (has nothing to do with the economy) I have seen nothing but improvement since 2008, and same deal for many family and friends.

In spite of obamas horrible policies we've shown a very small recovery. Prices are going up, the saving grace is low gas prices, while income is stagnant. Due to the bailouts that didn't work, the one percent is fat and happy.
