Trump has done some good things, but I'm waiting, and not holding my breath, because it is going to take a lot more than one guy to save it.
We got what y'all voted for, you'd think you'd be happy.
@Smokin Joe I honestly don't know one single person that is happy that Trump is the President,but I do know a BUNCH of people who are glad the Clinton's aren't back in the WH.
As for Trump,his ego is going to demand he does SOME things to get his name in the history books as an "important President". No one knows what these things will be yet,or how many of them there will be. Face it,he is a spoiled brat prima donna who trip through life has been on greased skids. He is used to getting his way,so he is likely to get his back up against the wall if someone/anyone tries to stand in his way. He is a wheeler dealer with no core principles other than "*I* am a winner and everybody else is losers!",so he is likely to compromise on anything he claims to want if he can get 51 percent of what he wants so he can call it a "victory" and technically be correct.
The only question is "51 percent of WHAT?". Here is where his wheeling and dealing comes in. As a businessman,he is used to asking for several times what he really wants so he can "be talked into settling for less". The whole "The art of the deal" thing.
Facing him will be the professional criminal class of thieves and traitors we call "professional politicians/Party People". None of them give a damn about getting even a percentage of what they claim to want because their careers are based on lies,and their supporters WANT to be lied to. If they can get to call something a "victory" even if they didn't get a single damn thing they wanted,they are good to go. Oftentimes,what they REALLY want is a loss after being SEEN to SEEM to have fought for it tooth and talon because this increases their public support as well as their contributions. All they have to do is hold a press conference and be seen to be wiping tears as they moan about how "I WANTED to give everyone a million dollar per year guaranteed income,but those damn evil rich Republicans killed my program!" Such dog and pony shows guarantee re-elections to keep the bribes flowing in,so it ends up being a victory for them because that's what they wanted to start with.
I don't know how this is going to work out,but I am positive about a couple of things,one is there is no such thing as a narcissistic sociopath that can even tolerate the idea of losing big on big promises,and the other is that no matter how little good Trump gets done,it will be a hell of a lot more good than the Clinton's would have accomplished,and a lot less evil will be done. Trump knows the survival of his riches and lifestyle are totally dependent on the survival of our system,so he is not going to purposely do ANYTHING that harms America or our system of government.
IMHO,the dark horses in all this are his advisors and his in-laws,who all seem to have a "Bleep YOU,ME FIRST!" attitude. It's his nature to trust family,and somebody needs to remind him that "rent-a-inlaws" are not the same thing as actual family members.
