Right off the bat that tells you all you need to know about the lack of intelligence and common sense of these people. No wonder they were such easy marks.

Coal Is Dying and It's Never Coming Back
With or without help from President Obama

...more and more financial institutions and private investors are starting to factor climate change into their investment decisions, which "would be a death blow that no EPA regulation could equal."

The environmental imperative to get off coal is obvious, and even if you think climate change is a hoax, basic economics are already driving the coal industry to contract...

Now, even if these people are too ignorant to understand this, the candidate they voted for should have this knowledge...shouldn't he? So either Trump is the ill-informed dolt that most of us know he is or he just plain lied...or all of the above and both are equally as ****ed-up.

Now he's keeping NATO, despite threatening to tear it apart.

He's no longer building a wall, and he's not making a strong effort to deport illegals.

Trump is becoming Obama 2.0.
Y'all can relax now.
Trump doesn't know wtf he's doing, so he'll leave everything more or less the same as obama left it.


So, to win the 2020 election, all you have to do to win is to make empty threats and promises and fool the people into voting for you.

Unlike the fool that was "leading" this country for the past 8 years, Trump doesn't reveal his hand right up front. He wrote "The Art of the Deal", he knows how to negotiate. One of the first rules of negotiating is that you don't tell the other side everything that you've got planned.

It's been one week since he was elected. How about you doomsdayers wait until he's in office. Wait until that first 100 days has passed, then feel free to b**ch and whine about everything he has done.
