What Grade for Trump v2.0 after a 100 Days?

[corbe]

   Immigration, Tariffs, Personnel Selections. 
   What has he learned from v1.0.
   What Grade would you give him in his first 100 days?

[Canuck Conservative]

Trouble is, it's a 50-50 Presidency, with a lot of head-scratching contradictions ... for every "about damn time" policy, there's another "WTH" one ...

* The Trump Admin finds lots of waste and fraud, but starts economic wars with America's long-time friends while giving Russia a free ride

* The Trump Admin deports criminals, but lets the Tate Bros. creeps back in the country

* The Trump Admin claims they want a return to "merit-based" hiring, yet they choose personnel based on political loyalty, not merit (e.g., Matt Gaetz, not Pam Bondi, was the first choice for AG)

etc.

Canuck Conservative, hmmm, isn't that an oxymoron?  Actually, I suspect there are a couple of conservatives in Canada, you being one of them perhaps.

Trump knows he has a small window in time, so he is trying to force the pig through the snake.  I understand his desire to get things done quickly.  I think he could have held off on the tariffs until he got his one big bill through Congress.  But bottomline, it is Congress that is the problem.  Republicans are accomplished at doing nothing in Congress, so when they actually get the majority, they are clueless.

In the end, I think things will come together for Trump.  Congress will do little to nothing over the next two years, and those clowns will gladly lose the majority back to the Dems. We are in dire need of TERM LIMITS.  At least half the folks in Congress are not worth the shoes they are standing in. 

Dems talking about the destruction of anything is so laughable.  I consider Dems the number one enemy of the USA.  They are the kings of destruction.  How could anyone think it a good idea to have an open border and allow anyone to flood into the USA?  Pure insanity.  Anyone that votes for Democommies are idiots.

I gave him an A. The first 100 days have been like Christmas every day for me. Now ask me about congress.

Just like here, most of western Canada - inland BC, Yukon, the Northern Territories, Alberta, and Saskatchewan are VERY Conservative people. Other than words like 'touque' and 'chesterfield', and the prevalence of Tim Horton's there is really no difference between eastern BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and right here in Montana. It's the same cowboy and farmer folks.

The problem is Ottowa. And western BC which is basically Vancouver, which is basically Northern Seattle.

You obviously weren't paying attention to that trucker's strike up there.

What does the trucker strike have to do with Canada being uber liberal?  I thought the trucker strike was a clear sign how not free the Canadian people are.  Many think they are just like us, but I beg to differ. 

I spent almost a year up there on a consulting gig, and I was shocked by a number of things there, particularly how aggressive the women are to find a guy to marry.  I got asked about marriage more often than not before I even took them out on a date.  Would you move here and live in Canada was the other question out of the gun before a date.

Last time I was in Canada, they all but searched every orifice.  I told them I would never return.  I had booked rooms for six folks traveling with me, and they held me up at customs for three hours.  Went through my bags 2-3 times.  I told the last agent, a female, when I was leaving that I would never return to this f***ed up country again.  Idiots.  Ignorant beyond reason.

I had hoped to go to a casino the night I arrived, and I was so pissed, I said I am not giving these POSs one dime more of my money than I had to.  Next day, I could not wait to depart.  Halifax, the *ss end of the world from my view, and I would rather sit on my back porch before ever traveling to that screwed up country.

With Trump's moronic rhetoric regarding making it the 51st state, I cringed at the thought.  I would rather annex Russia than Canada.  At least the people in Russia would welcome being a part of the USA given the chance, the Canadians would hate being incorporated into the USA.  They are special!  Or so they think!

I am 60 miles from the Alberta border. That border is closer to here than any big town.

I have been to Canada many, many times, and I see Canucks down here all the time. It is common. And as far as my experience goes (Inland BC, Yukon, NWT, Alberta, Saskatchewan) there is very little difference across the border. They hunt, fish, ranch, farm, and homestead under a very practiced liberty.

They drive American pickups use American tools, eat the very same fast foods, and drink the same beers.

But they are very decidedly Canadian and damn proud of it.
And that's alright.
