Did every president elect before have such media scrutiny on them? I would say no.

Does anyone here have a real crystal ball that can tell us all exactly what the Trump presidency will look like? If you answer yes, at least take off that funky white jacket with the arms tied around your back.
Did any president have a pending lawsuit for swindling and scamming hopeful America entrepreneurs on the horizon before his inauguration?

Did any candidate before throw his hat into the ring so that he could garner TWO BILLION dollars of free publicity to further capitalize on his brand and speaking of brand...Did any other president manufacture his line of goods in China while pandering to American workers?

My entire identity is not melded into a party or some political messiah. What I am is horrified that the person elected to the Office of the Presidency is so profoundly unqualified. And that horror comes precisely out of my support for my country. That said, when Obama won, not too many of you were willing to take the "buck up, for the good of America," etc., advice, were you?
I read it. It's mostly conjecture written by a leftist. Aside from Vice Presidents who run for office, I doubt most candidates know all the day to day mundane details of being president. Especially from someone who's never run for public office.

Even the people on his team have no idea how government works. From the WSJ:

It's like watching an old "Keystone Cops" movie. A bunch of idiots, not one of whom have any experience in government, or are even educated about government, running around the White House like kindergarteners.
Trump is the president elect. If he ends up being a good president or a bad one, or decides to run away in the middle of his term is just conjecture at this point.
These posts are not gonna change the election results.

He'll have enough time to do damage and make certain that he further enriches his brand and bank accounts. There are already so many conflicts of interest surfacing within his family businesses and this farce of a presidency. He is also going to further an Alt-right agenda by doling out power to some really ****ed-up characters and players. His team is scrambling to settle that lawsuit before he takes oath (as if an oath means anything to the birther swindler) and not at all surprising that this might be another reason he pursued the presidency. What a fraud!

LOL, can we let the man actually take office and begin his term as POTUS before we judge his presidency a failure?

I didn't vote for either of those idiots and I'm proud to say it. Both were terrible choices. I think either of them would have made a decent sized mess of things. But I'm willing to let Trump prove me and everyone wrong.

I was going to buy a new car in 2017 but I just found out the manufacturing plant just fired the CEO all of the VP's plus the entire work force of 4,000.

Do you think they will be able to make me a car as good as the one I had for the last 8 years?

If you believe this, I have a bridge to sell you.

Pence was a congressman and a governor. The new chief of staff knows everyone in the Republican party.

This is simply not credible reporting. Of course they know they have staff to replace. Don't be ridiculous.

Maybe Trump himself was not aware of how many, but so what. He wont be dealing with most of them. Certainly he himself is not sitting around overseeing the hiring of 4000 people. That would be really stupid and a waste of his time.

That's not how the process works.

Thank you, Madame Lazonga. Is that sage prediction from your crystal ball or your Ouija board?

I can't help it if Trump was America's choice, even in knowing what baggage he is bringing to the White House. I voted Hillary, but nothing I can do now but see what happens.
