The Trump-Reagan parallels

[TomSea]

I'd be very interested in seeing your idea of "conservative," and how Trump could be described as such.

Simply put, I don't think open borders is a conservative policy.

Trump also has already defunded International Planned Parenthood.

Has pledged pro-life justices to the SCOTUS of which Gorsuch may be.

Some libertarian minded conservatives are open borders, most are not.

That's the guy who salutes a cardboard cut-out of Trump every day, right?  I actually feel bad for him.  I don't know any grown men who felt forgotten until they hurled themselves into a politician's arms, and then everything was all right.

This picture @CatherineofAragon captures the despair that has been growing among the middle class...and the gratitude that is felt for President Trump who is keeping his promise to "never let them down".

It is, IMO, rather heartless of you to ridicule this and those who are living it.  But perhaps your principled worldview doesn't require a heart.

There are SO many parallels with Obama and Trump fans, aren't there?  Remember how people thought Obama was going to pay their rent and buy them appliances?

Same deal here. 

Not even close.  The Trump supporters want JOBS, not appliances.  Try and catch up.

You living in a parallel world that is 6 months behind ours? I hate to break it to you but Trump wins.

Oops.  Fixed it.  ^-^

To be completely fair, Trump has occasionally done that for people. The Worm, never. We'd have heard about it 24/7 if he had.

You think Trump's going to buy that guy hugging him a refrigerator?   ^-^

Trump, trying to cut down the size of government, I do realize he is also advocating for some projects like the wall but has tried to cut down on the agencies.

Right, like I said....a guy who suddenly had his world made right by idolatry of a politician.

Just to clarify, this quote is from @CatherineofAragon  (not me)  ^-^.

Thanks!  It's so nice it needed to be posted twice.

Some rando came up and hugged me, I'd probably buy him a fridge too, if it got him to go away. 

[TomSea]

Heavens, a man is hugging a cardboard figurine of Trump. What is the world coming to? Isn't that the most horrible thing one has ever heard?

Pretty much yes. It is the most horrible thing I've ever heard. Worse than AIDS and cancer combined. Congratulations.

Plenty of folks say the nastiest things about Trump; why aren't the same people complaining about "idols" or whatever, calling those making such mean-spirited remarks out? Huh?

It's really derails the thread, intentional or not.

Apparently he salutes it, not hugs it.

Still a bit of an odd duck.

So, what agencies has he proposed be eliminated, and how far along is that?

It is a start at least.  Moving in the right direction but could be greater.

Trump freezes hiring of many federal workers

President Trump instituted an immediate hiring freeze Monday, signing a presidential memorandum that would affect a large swath of the executive branch but leave wide latitude for exemptions for those working in the military, national security and public safety.

The move — coming on the new president’s first full working day in the White House — represents the opening salvo in what could be the most concerted effort to overhaul the federal workforce in 35 years....
