What are we to think of our new president?
Well, first, its only been a week.
Second, many of us already know what we think, knew going in, and havent changed our minds.
But, third, wow. Between jobs meetings, executive orders, trip to Philly, war with media, talking torture and the wall, phone time with Vladimir Putin, AND roiling the immigrant and refugee world with U.S. entry bans, Week One was a whirlwind.
First impressions depend where you stand.
Those more or less on board go with English proverbs: First impressions are the most lasting, meaning were in for an Energizer Bunny incumbency of drum-beating and constant movement to get good things done.
Others may like the view of Franz Kafka: First impressions are always unreliable, noise and activity dont translate into good things getting done, or, oh my God, our futures Kafkaesque.
Lets review.
Meetings with business and labor leaders on jobs, wages, and making things in America with American workers were encouraging first steps. If Trump creates or saves jobs, no matter what you think of him, thats good, right?
Business honchos have an ally in cutting corporate tax rates and federal regulations. And union leaders at least were at the table.
(Though I bet Democrats where banging their foreheads on their tables, thinking, "Oh, great. Another part of whats left of our coalition tempted into Trumpland.") [continued]

I prefer their heads exploding like in the movie “Mars Attacks!”
So when is McLame and his girlfriend Lindsey going to jump?
I loved that David Spade and Christina Applegate couldn’t quit laughing during that skit.
You mean Scanners? Mars Attacks works too..
Soon I hope. Jesus listens to my prayers..
These panty poopers are a far cry from the grit of the early patriots or the Greatest Generation, who survived the Great Depression and won WW ll. To see the weak men of this generation hyperventilating because the Muslims, who want to kill us can’t just walk into our country, is utterly disgusting. We must support our President. Pray fervently for him and the cabinet that his enemies have refused to approve. Communicate with him and tell him you appreciate what he is doing. Do not let the evildoers win!
I bet the Gipper is looking down from Heaven with a face-hurting grin that won't quit.
Sort of like ( as I faintly remember, @83) having 3-to-6 orgasms a day.
How can you possibly sleep, eat, work, cook meals, do laundry, vacuum, run errands, visit with neighbors and family and friends...we are to afraid to leave our homes for fear we might miss something that President Trump has done...
Absolute addict to President Trump!!!
WOO HOO!
Trump is in a New Yawk state of mind.
Best election ever. First week is like hooking the election up to a 1000 watt amp.
A blast..!
Says exactly what I was thinking about 90% of the time.
Feels a lot like when Reagan was Prez, only he insults the media directly JUST LIKE I WOULD..!
Sometimes I smile and giggle to myself while driving, I’m having so much fun.
Ha ha, yep. I hate to admit it, but I agree. I especially LOVED that he hung Andrew Jackson’s portrait up in the Oval Office. He’s signaling that he’s going to kick ass... And he is.
Just keep going and do not back down. Those that have been in power for years have done nothing but harm to our nation. A huge national debt, more people unemployed than ever, a government that spends money like there is no tomorrow, rules, regulations and laws that make it almost impossible for the private sector to do its job of creating new companies and jobs and that keeps doing the same solutions that have never worked, but thinking this time it be successful. Just shows how incompetent the leaders have been. Go President Trump, go.
I am enjoying President Trump BIG LEAGUE!
And, as I have mentioned more than once since November 9, 2017, I am in the throes of continuous and ecstatic schadenfreude over the almost continuous caterwauling and daily examples of Trump Disorder Syndrome LIEberals have been afflicted with since then!
LOVE THIS GUY!!!!
