I like Trump because he has smashed political correctness and he loves our country. The left is on the attack of freedom of speech and their biggest goal is to stop the truth Trump is allowing to be spoken. So if you want to talk Nazi tactics; we'll talk Nazi but it is not the Republicans who are the enemy to truth and honesty and a free government. And you will have to kill us if you want to shut us up. I was born free and I plan to stay that way.

No one wants to kill you.


Too much drama ...

No worries. They are afraid of firearms. Well, except the most radical, which, to be fair is still a rather small segment.

Somehow the phrase "throwing the baby out with the bath water" comes to mind.

By the way, what your friend went through happens on a smaller scale with H1B visa workers replacing American workers, and Trump is the only politician saying he will do something about it. Whether he's successful or not, at least he has identified the problem.
You know the H1B program is capped at 65k workers of which less than 10k are H1B1 visas. Those numbers are a minuscule part of our economy.

The one thing I agree with is his stance on immigration. He is going about it wrong but our lack of following who is coming in and out of this country has gone too far. Other than that, resign and take your kids and Bannon with you.

My first impression of Trump Tower was Gaudy. Don't let him renovate the White House!

Sure, it's capped. And they're supposed to offer the jobs to Americans first too, but that doesn't happen. There is massive abuse of the system.

People forget that any system or institution has process dynamics that are as important as any specific decision or policy. And systems can become sclerotic......stuck in a negative rut, until the rut greatly limits what is possible to do.
I think Trump is well on the way to breaking us out of the rut. Other people then can come along in four or eight years and take us great places.
