I was a huge Trump Supporter. Now, not so much. I think everyone prioritizes the promises/issues Trump vowed action on if elected.
The most important to me was disengagement from Syria, and Afghanistan. The border wall would have been nice, too.
He totally lied on the ME. He has surrounded himself w/Neocons, and Zionists. I am one of, probably a handful of FReepers who are not on board with the John Bolton/Mike Pompeo/Nikki Haley/Heather Nauert/Jared Kushner/Ivanka Trump Foreign Policy Train.
Whenever I see one of Trump’s “witch Hunt” tweets, I wonder why he didn’t shut it down a long time ago, why he allowed someone like Mike Flynn to be bankrupted.
When I see one of his boastful tweets, I just feel irritated at them. It’s like he’s looking for validation from his sycophants.
The proof of the pudding will be in the eating & I believe we are not there yet.
President Trump likes to keep things murky to have room to outmaneuver the other side. He likes to appear a little off hand and off base for the same reason. He is not playing the game for brownie points but for keeps.
President Trump is balancing a lot of factions and allies or could be allies in the middle east. I think he would love to be out of Syria & Afghanistan but will not leave the region precipitously or derange the end game by setting dates we will leave or absolute goals that our enemies might use as they did Obama’s to bide their time & build up.
We are working well with a variety of Middle Eastern allies, note gas prices are low because of POTUS. I am happy to allow our President’s strategy to mature. He has done a whole lot better than any other President. I have no hard timeline.
I am happy with the judges confirmed, happy his hard work has yielded a Senate majority that will enable many more Judaical confirmations. I am thrilled that so many American have jobs, tax cuts & wage increases and that our Veterans have better, more timely care and choices. I am thrilled by the concentration on redevelopment of an American manufacturing base that will strengthen our country in peace time & in case of war.
The President is moving in a businesslike fashion to put America on stable footing with fair treaties, improved taxation, decreased regulation, and clearing out corruption and Democratic slush devices like Consumer Protection Bureau.
POTUS is fostering the concept of Government Private partnerships where the private furnishes the bulk of the $. He is partnering with industry to create pipelines from job training to jobs.
I don’t wonder at all about why he didn’t shut down the witch hunt. It would have been falling into their trap. The investigators had to discredit themselves and the outcry to shut it down needed to come from elsewhere. His complaints, and tweets have intensified as thee investigators have been shown to be corrupt & bumbling. The tweets are his form of “Tally Ho”, to get the hunt focused and paralyze the enemy. Soon they will be destroyed and he will have used the period of distraction generated by the MSM coverage of “muh Russia” to get much done behind the scenes.
