A little objectivity and maturity? Just a bit?

Maybe that's asking too much.

Who knows? He hasn't been in office yet and I have no idea if he's going to keep his word or not. The last one sure didn't.

To those who didn't vote for Trump -- List POSITIVE aspects of his presidency
The comedians around the world will have an endless supply of material.

Whatever pennies we will save on tax cuts, will be offset by inflation, which his trade war will ensure. You might save $2.00, but if you have to find an extra $4.00 to buy bread, then you still end up losing.

Good point. But if people are going to go ahead and panic about possible negatives, why not also consider the beneficial possibilities.

Most positive aspect of his presidency:

It hasn't actually started yet.

I'm hoping that Trump's administration will be more transparent than the recent administrations of Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush II, Obama. Trump's penchant for putting it all out there might be helpful in some ways.

Of course they will. After eight years of being fearful of being labeled a racist for joking about the POTUS, they will be busting at the seams.

On top of that, Trump will be an easy target since he doesn't have a group of people vetting his every word before being allowed to speak.

However displeased you may be about his victory, what are some good things you look forward to?

I'll start --

1) We'll likely enjoy better relations with Russia, a good ally to have.
2) My taxes will be much lower according to his plan. Sounds selfish, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit seeing that as a perk.
3) He won't likely add more and more regulations making it more difficult to start a business, something I want to do in the near future.
4) No more accepting hordes of insufficiently-screened refugees and then prioritizing them over our own citizens.
5) Gun/self-defense rights will be here to stay.

1- no keep them on a friendly associates list-- no more
2- good you making that kinda of money-- my taxes going up
3- some regulations are bogus, but some if we did not have them we be eating dirt in our burgers- pi in our lemonade -baby's milk have more formaldehyde and gmo's be 100%
4- the refugee population is really small and very scattered-- do your homework of the refugee programs over the years -- your forefathers might have been one?
5- I have my gun, do you have yours? nobody is messing with it- (lies) BUT nutsy people need vetting
SO far only thing I may like is one general - for DHS- -
total dislike-
6- family in the white house running the show\
7- shutting down stuff with out replacement-
8- billionaires who NEVER have given a raz azrse about us- now part of his cabinet-- if approved-
9- promises with out facts- or disclosure -like the wall-
10- his darn tweets-- embarrassing !!

He isn't president yet...

Once he is and has some actions to speak of, I will list things I agree with.

Until then, this is a pointless exercise.
