As I posted about a week ago, the man is placing his faith in accomplishments and the people to bring them to fruition. This is a very exciting time to watch. Just very very exciting. Bravo America.

Down hill, backwards and completely out of control.

You're right; it's a very exciting time to watch.

so far, so good. Business likes what they see. SCOTUS remains balanced with a like minded backfill for Scalia.


And finally we ask what is in it for us with trade deals.

Trump is a hard worker, with limitless energy....great to see him plugging away and tackling issues right out of the gate. My God guide and bless him in his endeavors and tasks at hand.

Wait until the tariffs and trade wars kick in full steam, then see what they say, if they are allowed.


You do not work out fair trade deals with threats and ultimatums before even meeting. Going to be fun watching him step all over himself when he does his thing with China. Oh, this is going to Fun to watch. Get your excuses ready.

LOL! Hardball negotiating tactics in business include over the top threats. They do not occur as it gets the other side to talk. We are the big market they wish to sell to. No USA trade = Chineses go back to rice paddies. That may change as asia evolves in 50-100 years, but as of now, Wal Mart where they sell what they make, is a giant presence here..not in Asia.

So far, he hasn't done much except talk a lot. But that seems to work for his supporters. They can't seem to tell the difference between bloviating and action.

A wall paid by Mexico? No. There's no wall being paid for by Mexico. There is talk of a wall being paid for by US. If you think Mexico is going to pay us billions and billions for it, I have some lovely swampland to sell you. (Estimated $15 billion....double that, since govt estimates are ALWAYS way low...$30 billion, paid for by the middle class.)

Jobs...so many jobs that we'll say "stop with all the jobs! We can't take any more jobs!" 500 jobs so far (he claims 1,000, though, so his supporters no doubt believe that). He has fired thousands from government jobs, though.

Nothing so far affects me. Has there been anything that has affected you yet? A new company opening up in your town directly caused by Trump? Lower prices at the grocery store? Lower property taxes? New insurance plan? An executive order stating that your Social Security and Medicare will be left intact?

Only a matter of time till the "Trump Train" goes off the rails and plunges into the river below the bridge.


Should be sometime in 2019 or so...
