He's bringing American jobs *back* to America and instilling a sense of pride and patriotism in this country again. Am sick of people acting like there's something wrong with buying American and supporting the country you live in. If don't like it here, leave! That dirty word of *Made in USA* that everyone is ashamed of.

The stock market is doing better than ever, and American confidence is up. All things that Obama could never do because he was too weak to stand up to China and put them in their place. They've been taking American jobs for years now. Time for America to stand up for itself and make this country great again and proud.
Haha, that was occurring before Trump. To be fair to him tho, we cannot grade him as yet because he hasn't signed any meaningful legislation. How has he put China in their place? By formally declaring them a currency manipulator Also, let's see what the US-China trade deficit is several months from now.

It is our companies that relocated jobs overseas. I'm not a big fan of any politician but I'm willing to give Trump the benefit of the doubt and see what his policies are. He was a bystander in the health debacle and so far his tax reform outline is looking really weak and one-sided. If he can get his shxt together and help reverse stagnating wages and spur the growth of well-paying jobs, I'm all for him. Currently, I find it hypocritical that he is cheering the same "weak" economic figures and indicators he once derided.

Politicians should not be graded on how much legislation they sign. The perfect politician shouldn't have to sign much in terms of meaningful legislation as it is.

Have you not taken notice of the stock market since the election? I actually don't credit it to Trump, but more so to the end of Obama. Coincidence that the market tanked when Obama was elected 8+ years ago?

Oh I understand him all right. And I bemoan the fact that the state hospitals for the insane have all been closed.

You mean the Market Panic when George Walker Bush was president in 2008 and presided over the market meltdown in OCTOBER (a month before the election of BHO?)

Yes, when it was clear that Obama would win the election we all jumped out of the market.

Are we talking about infowars?
I should have wrote that all media is controlled by the 0.1%. The idiots that watch and are manipulated by it pick and choose a side and believe whatever their bias goes to. They keep them divided by issues that don't put money into their pockets and let the 0.1% take what they want.

Yes, he is a man of my time, and like many of them, he is completely nuts. Whether he is psychotic or senile (demented) I cannot say, but for him to get nearly half the votes convinces me that the United States has no future. It's population is too stupid for democracy perhaps that's why it is already a fantasy.


How do I deal with the chaos? Mainly I try to ignore it as much as possible or to try to find humor in the insanity. Pretty much the same way one would deal with terminal cancer. (I drink a lot.)

I have a feeling that plenty of NYC real estate Jewish families voted for Trump, but they too are going to get conned by him. I don't love Trump, but I also don't hate him. I have respect for the guy, and I have to say is that he needs some serious help. Jared, Bannon, Conway all need to be fired. Jared needs to go back to his traditional industry of Real Estate, Bannon should go back to his pro racists website Breitbart.

If the election went over again with the same pool of candidates, I would no doubt vote for Trump again.
As a matter of fact, Trump has put out a lot of potentially effective proposals to address the political and societal cancers that the US has been plagued with. Unfortunately, he lacks the executive skills to have his proposals passed by those career politicians. Once he started appointing his cabinet members, his incompetency as POTUS became nakedly clear to me.
