Honestly, I don't know if that's his position. How would I know? Honestly, how would anyone know?

However, if this is his position, I don't know why some folks would be surprised, particularly those who feel government is just business & we're all better off when it's run that way.

Wasn't one of the ideas that propelled Mr. Trump into the Presidential seat the idea he was such a great businessmen ?

Even if that was the only criterion (good at business), wasn't his MO to prevent a proper vetting?

If he is to be the de facto 'CEO' of the USA, what are his responsibilities in re: to the American people?

Are we the people now to be considered his employees?

What are the first amendment rights of employees? As per the ideology the owner of the business holds all the cards.

Did we the people just get 'owned'?

Just get owned? That is funny. Those in power are the masters not the servants.

He has stated clearly that he believes that libel laws should be loosened so as to make it easier to sue people (presumably people that criticize Donald Trump).

Wanted to note that I know a lot of Libertarian (they say) leaning people who supported Trump who are already disappointed with some things he is speaking about conceding about. Most so-called Libertarians IMO are just Republicans who don't want to admit that they are.

On the Democrats I think they will make a comeback similar to the Republicans did. People always talk this "defeated" and "out of touch" and "insignifcant" language after a party loses big in an election. The same was said in 2008 with Obama and the GOP came back and retook the White House and all other branches of government this past year. It wouldn't be surprising if the Dems came back in the same way. Politics is wishy washy in that way.

The GOP don't really like Trump, not most of them.

In fact, not many people actually like him at all. I doubt they ever have.

A billionaire would've married better if people liked him.

He talks about all the ***** he's grabbed and yet he cannot seem to get any wives but ones who barely speak English, have no actual careers/degrees, or both.

You don't see other popular, wealthy men married off to mail-order brides.

This tells me that he's just not really likable and people would not hang around him if he didn't have money.

Delusional.

Amal Alamuddin
Vanessa Paradis
Camila Alves
Anastassija Makarenko

Those not particularly American wives and love intrest are associated with George Clooney, Johhny Depp , Mickey Rourke , and Matthew Mcconaughey.


That is just a few men who could pick the women they wanted. American women , as whole, are not particularly in demand. The feed back I have gotten from foreign men is not particularly good either.
