> I had high hopes for Trump and most have not yet materialized. <
I must agree with that.
Back in the ‘90s there was a magazine that regularly carried articles by Trump (Forbes?). I read those articles while in my dentist’s waiting room. Trump’s articles were about economics, and I was impressed, very impressed.
Then Trump ran for president. Again, I was impressed by what he had to say.
Something is off now. I expected Trump to run a wild, loose campaign in the primaries, and that’s just what he did. That strategy is probably got him the nomination. Good for him.
But now it seems as if he’s running a wild, loose presidency. There was no pivot to a more settled, dignified approach. That bothers me.
However, I’m still optimistic for two reasons.
1. Trump is not stupid. He will learn, and hopefully course-correct.
2. Trump is not Hillary. The worse things Trump could possibly do would be better than anything Hillary would do. Trump beat Hillary. He’s in the Oval Office, not her.
Do you f..ing morons realize that 96% of the corrupt and illegitimate federal gubbermint voted for that treasonous, felonious, murdering harpy? Including most of the so called republicans?
One man against a 4 trillion dollar stasi state. It’s a miracle he’s still in the fight.
Pull till ya hear a pop.
I agree with you re: your two points 1 & 2. However, he sometimes does give me a moments pause on course correction. As has been said on this thread, lots of his choices/selections have not turned out well. So hopefully he’s learning and learning fast. Because otherwise the Senate will be lost in the mid-terms and then everything will grind to a halt until 2020.
I think he’s smart too (still) but I wonder why he didn’t get in a room with people and say - ok, we’re newbies here. We’ve got to get this transition off the ground and running and we’ve got to get good poeple in here. It’s like that didn’t happen. Or the people he asked that of were his family. That’s what gets me too. Good business people don’t make good political advisors. Kushner isn’t great on Israel just because he’s a Jew. But I digress.....
