Accept President Trump and hold him accountable for promised change

The Seattle Times ^ | January 20, 2017 | The Editorial Board

American elected a president who promised change. It’s time to start encouraging him to make changes that benefit everyone.

ALTHOUGH it won’t be easy for some, it’s time for Americans to get used to the sound of President Trump.

We must now accept his presidency and press him to follow through on his promises to grow the economy, strengthen America and revitalize its middle class.

This will require faith and engagement. This editorial board, which endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, and other citizens will be challenged to look beyond Trump’s rhetoric — and troubling tweets — to assess actual policy changes by his administration.

Changes that should be encouraged include the increased antitrust enforcement Trump called for during his campaign. He notably opposed AT&T’s acquisition of Time Warner because it would concentrate too much power in a single company....

I'll bet they're catching hell for this.

Imagine being so stupid someone would have to tell you this.

Why that’s almost NeverTrump stupid.

[DoughtyOne]

You’re a Lefty and you wake up to that.

That’ll ruin your whole week.

I haven’t seen you since FR was down. Is your wife doing better? I think you had good news before the crash.

“..Troubling tweets..”

LOLOLOLOLOL

[2ndDivisionVet]

Yes, she’s back home and recuperating. It’s hard because we’re both bad off, but that’s life. Many are much worse off than we are. Hopefully the new president will get us all moving again and improve everyone’s situation.

Perhaps they are capitulating to Trump so that they can attract thousands of women wearing p***y hats to protest outside of their building.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Then they could invite the attractive 1 out of 1,000 in for a coffee and a Danish.

Lol! :)

Accept President Trump and hold him accountable for promised change

It certainly would have been nice if we heard the same statement when our Dear Leader Hussein was in power.

>> I’ll bet they’re catching hell for this.

LOL, no kidding.

Bird cage material

Oh, sure, right, just like they held 0’Douchebama accountable—for nothing except showering him with praise and accolades...

[Rastus]

Well, I’m glad to hear it. I think I took a shot or two at you during the primaries (I doubt if I made much of an impression on you). I’m sorry about that and glad we’re all back in harmony again.

Or perhaps the Anarchists busting the windows of a Starbucks in DC (or all places!) woke some lefties up to the goals of the Anarchists.

What a bunch of pompous gasbags.

You must read the Seattle Times between the lines. On the surface they want President Trump to live up to his promises. Under the surface they will work hard to undermine his ability to make good on his promises. the Seattle Times is a Leftist rag.
