He has not been in office one day. He is already fighting for American jobs and assembling one fairly proficient cabinet. Of course many disagree with his choices; but he is Commander and Chief as of January 20th. Then we will be able to see if we got swindled; I know you did for the last eight years! Give the guy some elbow room; you are not going to find him on the golf course - he is a worker.

The number one thing I heard from Trump supporters was Trade and jobs, not race.
And he's already screwed them over on the jobs/trade front. If they actually thought he was going to magically bring back manufacturing and coal jobs, they further prove what idiots they are.

And yes, many of his supporters are KKK and Nazis. And as far as I'm concerned, they're all domestic terrorists for installing a demagogue answering to a foreign dictator in the office. I fully endorse splitting this country into two. Republicans have not a single redeeming quality, and there are no common traits among Democrats and Republicans anymore. Let blue states merge with Canada, and Red States can be annexed by Russia. Both sides will be happy.

Excellent point.

Way to go insulting people who live in rural areas. Hillary lost. Trump won. Suck it up and deal with it.
What does that have to do with Trump supporters being stupid?

Suddenly we have to be nice to Trump supporters when Hillary supporters have been vilified since the beginning of time?

Nah.

Uh, no he's not fighting for American jobs. That was a scam that you guys fell for. Carrier is still shipping jobs to Mexico, but they got a $7 million bonus out of it. And his Cabinet is the most corrupt, nefarious group of people ever put in an administration. Several of them with direct ties to a foreign dictatorship. Only an absolute idiot would think his cabinet is good.

I know you guys hate facts, but we didn't get swindled by Obama. He will actually go down as one of the best Presidents, especially being in between the 2 worst President's in US history.

Trump is not a worker. He's never done a hard days work in his life. He even complained about how tough the job of the President is. Instead of learning how to do the job, he's giving more rallies to his adoring cult worshippers to fulfill his narcissism. You guys are so freakin clueless.

I (We; counting my wife) are converted Independents. We are expecting big things out of Trump. This
election many, including Democrats, crossed over to vote for Trump. We were tired of hiring yokels that were simply in office to promote themselves and their friends. We wanted somebody to represent us for a change.

I think this is the first Presidential candidate that I ever voted for that actually won! My track record is not that good; to say the least.

With all of our past Presidents they got elected, they disappeared until they took office, and then they forgot everyone of their promises as well as the people that put them in office. So far Trump has not disappeared and also appears to not suffer from Alzheimer's - he remembers those that put him in office and, even better, he is not even IN office until January 20th.

What worst job? He is hiring professionals instead of paying off political favors - he is not trapped by the system. We might have people that actually know what they are doing.

Eight years ago many people voted for President Obama. I think many felt that voting for him would unite our Country. His legacy is that he cannot stand in MLK's shoes - he is no unifier. We are more divided than we have been for many years.

Lol what? These people being appointed to his cabinet donated to his campaign or benefited him in some way. Pam Bondi, the AG of Florida is on his transition team and he bribed her for favors. Linda McMahon, co-founder of the WWE and now SBA leader donated $7 million to Trump. Trump only appoints people who grant him favors. That's why he humiliated Romney in a fake hint at giving him SoS. Romney would have actually been a decent SoS.

An EPA leader who rejects environmental regulations and denies Climate Change? An Energy Secretary who opposes the entire department? An Attorney General who opposes civil rights? A National Security Advisor who is a conspiracy theorist with ties to Russia? A Secretary of State with close ties to Russia who reaps in the largest corporate profits on earth? A HUD Secretary who has never done anything even related to housing or the poor? An Education secretary who wants to destroy and gut education? A Treasury secretary who heads Wall Street after you all whined like crazy about Clinton giving speeches to Wall Street and she was corrupt?

Once again, you are absolutely, mind-bogglingly clueless. These are the worst Cabinet picks in US history. They are all corporate criminals, Russian agents, and right wing lunatics.

Nah.


And Trump supporters weren't vilified "since the beginning of time"? Whatever you mean when you say "the beginning of time"...

So, you're saying that Trump supporters are "stupid"? Hmmm...
