Guys, there ain't gonna be anything to trickle down. You will do your manufacturing jobs for $5/hour because that's all there will be. You do know that's what Make America Great Again was all about, right? Make it great for employers; not you.
.
They can move to Mexico, where the COL is much lower, so the same jobs for the same companies at $5/day will actually put them ahead. At the local COL, that is.

Except there won't be any work in Mexico because those jobs will be coming back here -- once Trump gets rid of that nasty minimum wage that's just killing shareholder profits.

Fake news? Have you actually listened to the guy? Trump is a nothing but a 2 bit con man.
So now you have...
* Wall Street running the Federal Reserve.
* You have Big Oil in charge of our foreign policy.
* You have climate deniers in charge of the EPA.
* You have a secretary of education whose mission is to abolish public schools.
* Most of his cabinet are anti-gay, anti-women's rights.
You have an entire cabinet of people who want to wreck the very institutions they're being put in charge of. This is not media lies or liberal spin. It's fact. This is what you want. Really?
And don't pretend you know what Trump stands for because he's lied about EVERYTHING. In his post-Election rallies he actually admits he lied about everything. It's right there in youtube videos. But you don't care! It's mind boggling.
This president won't let the press near him because he doesn't want them to know what he's doing.
He still won't release his tax returns so you don't know who he's beholden to. And he vowed to continue running his businesses from the White House.
Stays up till 3 am tweeting every time his feelings get hurt, and then doesn't have time for the daily security briefings. You can't make this stuff up!
Seriously, what kind of moron wants this guy to be president???
Trump's Contract with the American voter was put out before the election. 28 proposals that he planned to implement from day one. He is pro big oil, for school choice, anti-abortion said he would put billionaires in his cabinet. His proposals are not meant to make liberals feel good they are to help America. Sanders and Clinton had their chances.
Now that the recount and the Russian plots didn't work, they want to sow discord among Trump supporters by making him look like he lied. Everyday there is a thread here about some pledge that Trump will not keep. FAKE NEWS! The latest is that he is not going to "drain the swamp." Let me tell you something. You tried to dispirit Trump supporters and sow discord during the election and it didn't work. It won't work now either.
"They" is Newt Gingrich, Trump surrogate and fair-weather buddy.
Trump and his 'surrogates' need to sync their stories. They seem to be on different pages.
The question is, is Newt being passive-aggressive because he received no appointments (yet) or is he 'telling it like it is?' He apparently was reprimanded.
What we have here is the Keystone Kops' Administration. And really really great late night comedy.
"...Former House Speaker and Trump adviser Newt Gingrich is walking back comments he made in an interview with NPR on Wednesday morning about the Trump campaign's slogan 'Drain The Swamp.' "He's in a different role now and maybe he feels that as president, as the next president of the United States, that he should be marginally more dignified than talking about alligators in swamps," Gingrich said Wednesday...
Then Trump tweeted -- "Someone incorrectly stated that the phrase "DRAIN THE SWAMP" was no longer being used by me. Actually, we will always be trying to DTS."
After a tweet from Trump himself clarifying that 'DTS' is still the plan, Gingrich posted this video correcting his mistake on Twitter..."

But he did lie. That's why people are saying it. Everyone knows it. The sky IS blue, even though Trump says it's green.
He was noted all through the campaign as being a politician who had historically lied more than any other, since politicians started being tracked.
These are just facts. You can choose to ignore it. Many Trumpers know it and accept it. One said, "Oh, I didn't really believe all that stuff he was saying. I knew it was campaigning. So I'm not surprised he's not doing those things. That's not why I voted for him."

Uh-huh. Those promises are dropping like flies.
I love this one:
10.Clean up Corruption in Washington Act. Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.
Mind telling us how hiring THREE GOLDMAN SACHS cronies and the CEO of Exxon reduces "the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics"??
This spoken by a new president that plans to run his business from the Whitehouse and still won't divulge his tax returns? Funny, I don't remember that as being stated during his campaign.

So you're cool with all that?
I am glad you at least perused the list of 28.
You are confusing Trump's proposals with Obama in 2009:
They are business leaders, special interests are lobbyists. They all had to sign anti-lobbying agreements.
He should have not chosen who he did because you don't like it? Sorry Trump did not consult with you first.
Trump has made billions without first being president. Unlike the Clinton's who only made money after being in the white house.
You do know that's what Make America Great Again was all about, right? Make it great for employers; not you.
Here's what the Left can't seem to grasp; What's good for employers, people who create jobs, IS good for me.

Your kids will grow up uneducated because you won't be able to pay for private schools,
They are already growing up uneducated because there's no market competition to force these public schools to actually do their jobs. If Betsy DeVos can change that, I'm all for it.

But that's the price you will pay to pay for your bigotry.
And the price you'll pay for comments like that, is any credibility you might have had.
Wasn't that the point of the election? Who do you want? Van Jones. Sorry, you had your run.
Amazing, isn't it? Liberals lost the election, and then complain when people they disagree with are chosen for cabinet posts.
Uh, well, YEAH! That was the point of the election. America chose to go in a different direction.
