I paid less taxes, got another house, six digit gain in my stock portfolio, in contract for a commercial property, and paid off all my debt ... But the best part is watching the tears in the snowflakes eyes...

Yes, my life has changed. I now pay higher taxes. The natural world around me is under much greater threat than before Trump, so all of are at greater risk. The country is also moving into much greater risk because of the threat of violence from home-grown extremism. (There was some of that before Trump, but he has certainly enabled and encouraged this.) People in my family have had difficulty with health insurance since Trump and the Republicans have been cutting the legs on the ACA, making it a much more expensive and less effective program. There are many negatives that are still in the "risk" catagory, as it takes a while to see the actual results. But I know because he has no interest in many vital programs, we will see more dire conditions in the future. Climate is at the top of that list.

I'm more relaxed just knowing that Hillary isn't the president and not so pessimistic about the country anymore. I still live in the same place and I got a pretty good SS benefit this year.

I remember when the country was heading into a recession under the last year of Bush's economy, and Sean Hannity was doing his best to defend his economic policies and the the current state of the economy...and you had callers into his show talking about how they were losing everything and Sean Hannity, a multi-millionaire, acting like people just need to pull themselves up by the boot straps and make things work, that things were just fine under Bush. And then poop hit the fan, and it looked like Obama would be the winner, all of a sudden the economy was doing terrible and it was all Obama's fault. Just a complete 360. Then Trump win's...all of a sudden the economy is great, everything is fantastic. Many Republican voters fall for this big media hoax. It's all psychological, depending on which party is in control.

People tend to remember things the way they want to....not necessarily how they were!

I'm happy that the economy is still chugging along though historically we are due for another downturn.

My investments are doing well. The interest rates are low which is good for my business. The price of gas is low.

The Supreme Court has a lean to the Right which is great for America as we know and love it which also means that key elements of the Constitution will be safe for years to come despite what the Dems may try to alter it.



With Trump I have also found out just how horrible and nasty my Left leaning former friends and family can be. Who needs them?

With Trump we have also seen how spiteful and back stabbing our politicians can be. DC truly is a swamp. Trump has been brave enough to call out major problems in America such as trade deficits and the crisis at the border but for doing so he is called all sorts of names.

With Trump, as bad and as un presidential he can be I believe that he gave America a reprieve from the bumpy road that the Dems were taking us all down but my fear is that the Dems will soon have us back on the road and heading for the cliff especially now that the Lefty Extremists have taken the center stage.


With Trump I have hope for the future whereas with Hillary and now the current crop of Lefty hopefuls I see none.

Not his work, but the right-wing media which feeds them this fiction on a daily basis.

Now, if we could just get more people on both sides that will work with Trump instead of against him, he could get even more done!
What did Trump do to double your income
