I never liked Clinton and liked Trump's F-You attitude. But I always thought he would start to act more presidential after he was elected president.
From what I saw on today's press conference, that does not seem to be the case. He was acting like a maniac. He continued to trash our nation's intelligence agencies. He lashed out at the press. And for me, the most damaging was that he said he would not release his tax returns. He told us he would release them after his audit. Now he is saying he will not. I actually want to see them. I thought nothing of it when he said he'd release them after the audit, but now I feel fooled.
He also seemed very angry. He seems to have gone back on many of his promises. It is almost like he is working for the elite and only worried about himself.
I am still holding out hope, but did I make a major mistake voting for Trump?
P.S. I understand that living in NY, and us having the electoral college, my vote probably didn't even matter, but I voted with my heart and for what I thought was best for our country.
I know a fair number of people in Kentucky who are already starting to regret it, or at least starting to wonder.
And I tell them the same thing I'll tell you - told ya so. Anyone stupid enough to have not seen that ignorant, psychotic buffoon for what he is deserves everything that's going to happen to them in the coming years. You get no sympathy from me at all.
More and more Americans are feeling the same way ,they now know they screwed up.
What did people expect? He has no political experience. None whatsoever. And people voted for him anyway.
Maybe because people have seen the "oh so wonderful" things professional politicians have done to the nation so far and finally said ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!?

I surely appreciate your honesty. I wish more people on both sides could be more rational.
I didn't vote for Trump, but like you I held out some faint hope that he would begin to take the job seriously, and that he would begin to measure his words more carefully - as that is a requirement of any senior executive of any corporation, much less the leader of the free world. Unfortunately I am forced to conclude that Trump will never be able to deal with adversity or disagreement in any sort of mature or useful way.
When you are in continuous attack mode on the press, on our very own intelligence agencies, and even the Senators and Representatives of his own party - that's a big problem. This overshadows all else, it will keep us from getting anything done, it will continue to divide the nation further, continue to damage the conservative brand, and will jeopardize the nation's safety in the end. Now I have to begin to wonder if there really IS a relationship between Putin and Trump and some sort of tacit agreement, otherwise I cannot fathom why Trump would continue to freak out about this. From what I have seen, the more truth there is to an allegation, the crazier Trump's reaction, he's very predictable. This is the Roy Cohn tactic that Trump learned so well in his younger days.

You think the solution to your perceived problems is to hand the country over to a rank amateur who represents the consummate egotist with delusions of grandeur. I hope i'm wrong but IMO Trump will not diminish the illegal problem, will not impact the ISIS problem and will not bring the jobs back,hes all torque no traction,the consummate con man.
me too, I thought he was just putting on an act in order to connect with those of us that are a bit challenged in the intelligence department, but now I'm beginning to think he's just as stupid as the rest of us

Kentucky is one of my favorite states and I can't say enough about the character of the men and women that live there. I worked there for several years and wished I could move there, but it did not work out.
Calling people "stupid" because they voted for Trump doesn't make much sense because overall, people there are no more stupid than they are anywhere else in the USA. I will say this, I think Appalachia was a lot more HOPEFUL and TRUSTING than they should have been in electing Trump. Trump appealed to hope and change and so on, the same things that Obama ran on, right? It's in the American nature to believe that the path always leads upward, that all of us have the same desire to work toward a brighter future. Unfortunately the hard lesson is that we all don't have the same goals; Trump has only one goal - to attain power and wealth.
