Trump heralded as ‘positive game changer’

Takes one to know one, perhaps. President Trump is having a remarkable influence on the nation’s merchants, manufacturers, builders and retailers, and they’re vocal about it: 80 percent of the respondents in a business outlook survey believe the nation’s business conditions will improve this year — compared to 44 percent in 2016. The primary reason for the boost in optimism is “clear,” the survey analysis noted, citing Mr. Trump and calling the president “a positive game changer for the business community.” The research was conducted by McDonald Hopkins, a business advisory and advocacy law firm.

Mr. Trump’s policies are also winning support. “Despite almost nonstop criticism” from media and political rivals over Mr. Trump’s executive order for a travel ban to Muslim countries, 51 percent of Americans still support the president’s order, reports a new poll from Investors Business Daily which also says the public’s mood has “considerably brightened since Trump took office,” with half the nation now saying America is headed in the right direction. Things haven’t been this positive since 2005, the pollster says.

All it took was a change to the right leadership (Trump Administration) and a switch to the right attitude (Realistic/ Optimistic).

Once he knocks that ObamaCare Mandate away, the hiring will get even better. I don’t know if much can be done about the cities who foolishly voted in mandatory $15. base wages.
Hope so. Seattle has already lost many small restaurants due to the high wages law.

So much for the “failing presidency” meme.

Trump is a quick learner. He will be getting stronger by the day against the dimoKKKRATS tactics.

Let’s get that wall going and raise tariffs up to 20%. Then America can get back to work.

The WT seems to be a pretty good newspaper. I forgot that there was any left. I notice that Pocahontas is getting beat up real good on their poll, too!

Yup, and the impatient, instant-gratification folks around here need to remember he has only been in office for two weeks and doesn't even have a full cabinet.

He knows his tax overhaul plan and repealing Obamacare are top priorities other than national security. He ain't stupid.

Why is anyone surprised? In 2016 we had a "leader" who never lead anything. Indeed, he is totally devoid of accomplishment. The only thing he appears to be good at is hiding his past. Despite the lack of any concrete accomplishments, he talked teleprompted his way into the WH with the help of the MSM who failed the American public by not asking hard questions. You would think one journalist in 8 years would have asked: "You are the first President in the history of this Republic who has sequestered virtually every document from your and Michelle's past. Why is that?" How tough would that have been for you clowns to ask? And you wonder why no one listens to you any more...
