I see so many posts from Trump supporters saying they can't wait for him to take office so things will change.

WITHOUT BASHING OBAMA, can you intelligently explain, with specific details, exactly what you expect from Trump and how you think those changes will directly effect YOUR life? What policies do you expect him to implement that will make your life better. You can compare and contrast with current policies of course, but please give a well written answer as to what you expect from the next 4 years, and how those things would only happen with Trump as President.

Thanks.

AND TRUMP HATERS: Please don't use this thread to bash Trump. I am seriously interested in what Trump supporters expect the next 4 years.

Not a *beeping* thing. I'm just hoping for the Great American Apology Tour to end and the floodgates to close or at least significantly narrow for anyone not willing to assimilate to our culuture.

I love my country, I feel as if the last eight years the man who was supposed to lead it didn't. Trump at least acts like he does.

We can actually enforce the immigration laws in place that continue to be ignored by the current administration.

Why is that important? Obviously safety... financially, people who do not pay into the system through income taxes are allowed to freely use services and education that suck up our already limited resources - which help cause government budget deficits.

Citizens who would take jobs are low balled by illegals who are paid for less under the table. Those citizens get government benefits for increasing periods of time... which helps cause for budget deficits.

I am for legal immigration and people becoming citizens the legal way, becoming taxpayers, and freely having the desires to pursue their own happiness. Hopefully Trump will get us back on the right path here.

He will do absolutely nothing for me.

Anyone that thinks President Obama didn't love this country is sadly mistaken.

Perhaps a more vexing question would be. "What do you're expect trump to do TO you"...
I despise the man, and question the ability of people to think that he's anything but a grifter and a member of the lucky sperm club.

There is something out there, a disquiet that is gathering energy. Our grifter has far too many balls in the air to juggle, he's in for a rude awakening when he finds the Trump Brand of Baloney isn't selling any more.

Where are the crowds of entertainers willing to endorse his mission by performing at his inaugural?...finding anyone is like trying to catch the wind. I suspect that there may not be an inauguration as we expect, but some crass tweet saying inaugurations are for losers.

Either way time is short for Captain Kangaroo and Mr Green Jeans to get their act together...

Not a thing.
I take care of my own needs. I think those who look to politicians to save them are the same type who expect government handouts, and foolishly trusted that Social Security would provide them a comfortable retirement.
Politicians are professional liars.

Enforce current immigration laws, plain and simple. If he does nothing else, it's already 1000 times better than we had the last 8 years.

Where have you been? Obama does not support current immigration laws. He does just the opposite. He want's to give people who have come here illegally a free path to being legal and or citizens. He supports cities which give amnesty to illegals. He proudly and unconstitutionally gave amnesty to the so called "dreamers" who came here as minors, many of which were teenagers without their parents.
As far as deporting illegals, Obama has made a mockery of it. He has not deported more illegals than any other President. What he did was change the definition of "deport" to mean they are simply turned around at the border and then labeled as deported. No other administration as done this. Deported used to mean people living here illegally were sent home. So here is your false fact that Obama has deported more illegals than anyone else from the L.A. Times, a liberal newspaper.

High deportation figures are misleading - LA Times

The fact that he has deported a record number of illegal immigrants speaks to the large number of people who have walked thru the border unhindered - which has given him the opportunity to send a large number out of the country.

If we had an effective border patrol, there would be no need to have a large deportation number because they wouldn't get through in the first place.
