Basically the same thing I said in another post a day or two ago.
I have my reservations about Trump too, but I still think he will at least try to do what he says, he will most likely pick good people to get things done, but will face heavy opposition at every turn from Congress.
but what are the alternatives?
How many of the people running for prez have...
Built 40, 50, 60 story buildings?
Met payroll for 1000 people or more week after week for 3 to 4 years or more until the project is completed?

Hoover, who had made a small fortune in mining, was the first of two Presidents to redistribute his salary...
Hoover tried to combat the ensuing Great Depression with moderate government public works projects such as the Hoover Dam. The record tariffs imbedded in the Smoot-Hawley Tariff and aggressive increases in the top tax bracket from 25% to 63%, coupled with increases in corporate taxes, yielded a “balanced budget” in 1933, but the economy plummeted simultaneously and unemployment rates rose to afflict one in four American workers....
