Right now is a great time to project our hopes on what could be - repeal ObamaCare, shrink government, etc.
It's fun for the moment and I enjoy playing let's pretend as much as anybody. But I'm also a realist and understand that when it gets down to the nut cutting it won't be pretty. So I just keep an imaginary scorecard in my head to mark progress.
So far Trump has appointed fewer Communist advisors than Obama - that's a Plus One.
He has also appointed fewer Socialists than Obama - that's another Plus One.
That's about all we really know so far, most of the rest of it is a lot of white noise right now. A stock bump that is not artificial and the potential of new jobs are also great signs but I'm not quite ready to put them in the Plus Column just yet. If they prove to be concrete over time I'll happily mark those off too.
