While I realize this is just another pointless bash Trump thread in an unending series of the same, for me it's actually pretty easy to answer.
Not a die-hard Trump fan, but the mood of the small business community where I am has turned overnight from despair and just trying to keep their business operating to survive and endure for the past 8 years, to looking to expand or they're doing work that was put off until now.
One friend of mine had a fabulous idea for a new business that would recycle garbage into salable products. It was a great plan, lots of support, in November of 2012 he had investors lined up that flat out said if Romney won, the check would be in his hands the next day. Obama won, the investors disappeared.
I spoke to him yesterday and those same investors that were hiding their assets under Obama are back and ready to play now, and that new business will get it's start up money and be producing and creating jobs within the next 6 months to a year.
To counter that, a friend of mine that owns a sporting goods store for the last 8 years hasn't been able to get or keep any ammunition on his shelves, and firearms were going out about as fast as he could get them.
Since Trump won, he's able to restock his ammunition, his gun sales have fallen back to pre Obama levels. He was making money hand over fist under Obama and everytime Obama brought up gun control, there would be a rush on his business, but since Trump isn't threatening the Constitution, people feel more secure, so gun sales are down.
As a small businessman, and working with other small businesses, Trump has opened up opportunity and revitalized people to where they believe they can actually earn more, and not have it confiscated.
Unlike many people, I don't live my life in the worry or fear of what a President does. I tend to make my own life and outcome out of it. I like getting up off my butt, and taking action.
Good enough?
How can this be good enough?
Did you vote for Trump, yes or no? Why? Specifically, and how does that match with what you see emerging now, whether already done or as you see into the future?
If you didn't vote for Trump or don't really care what a POTUS does or doesn't, feeling you are not really affected either way, then my question is not really for you. I already replied to your comment about how you "don't live your life." I don't live that way either!
Hopefully my response to you is good enough for you in the same way, but no your answer is no answer at all!
But you are not alone! Certainly not! No worries...

Trump can't have it both ways. Donald can't go to Florida to play golf 5 times in the first 60 days of his presidency, having called Obama out numerous times in the past about vacationing.
If that's the case, why did Trump have such a big problem with Obama "vacationing?"
have you got a witty comeback for that one?
Again, not any sort of answer to my question, but okay...
I never had any issue with Bush's vacation days or Obama's or now Trump. Maybe better to ask your question of Trump, who in my opinion, has far more important REAL problems to address than Obama's vacation days!
Not sure I have been offering any "witty comebacks," but if so, thanks! This response is not meant to be witty either. I'm just being truthful...
This is just another one of your "just this side of trolling" threads. No answer, not one, anyone gives will be satisfactory.
Not true, and something of a cop out if you ask me...
Is there an answer so far provided in this thread, tangible, specific, good enough for you? Which one might that be?
If you too can't answer, then don't try this "no one can" nonsense, because that too is not true!
