So a majority of our voters latched onto the best con man out there, someone who indeed did promise a lot of change that seems to reverberate with the populous - "drain the swamp" - but that is not what this guy was capable or even intending to bring to the office of the presidency with him. He can't plan, does not have the work ethic or management capabilities to pull off anything, his previous style of business was bullying and intimation and failure after failure (we already know that his inheritance backed by an ungodly tax break is the backbone of his empire).

This is what we get when we are duped. The Republican party has duped America for a long time starting with Trickle Down Economics followed by unnecessary wars and buildup of military without similar expenditures on education, healthcare, infrastructure and investment in future.

i think you can make a case that he's not mentally all there or has a behavior disorder. he also has all the tell tale signs of being a pathological liar. i wish there were some mechanisms in place to force public officials to take both a physical and mental exam before being able to run for office. the problem we are having here is folks rallying behind him w/o even trying to be objective. you feel immigration is a problem? fine. but the way this administration is handling this is totally incompetent. there is no real plan and things are not being thoroughly investigated and thought out. same with many of his other policies(?). that is what should be troubling his supporters.

a neuropyschologist friend who works at one of the best institutions in the country..... i won't disclose names to protect him/her. friend said that trump would fail eval for a normal sound mind and would probably be prescribed medication, therapy, in follow-ups. friend said there's several visual signs and behavioral signs that point to this.

Admin not even fully in place thanks to the pre planned obstruction but in six weeks they have already taken on the decades long issue of illegal immigration more so than all the politically correct babblers who let it fester. Pubs and Dems are all liars and hypocrites but more sophisticated in masking, Bernie was probably the most honest. Donnie lies, exaggerates, distorts and it doesn't matter because this is the present state where lower standards have become imbedded in our culture. Despite all the nonsensical focus on peripheral garbage, he's going forward with the core of his agenda that he ran on and his focus on truly growing the economy is refreshing to many. His unpresidential rants appeal to his avid supporters because they see it as taking no sheet from controlling power brokers whether it be Washington or Hollywood. They are fine with him being the outside power broker. He aint a dem or liberal but he also aint a pub or conservative if you are look closely, he's likely going to get just as much resistance from Pubs to certain changes because there is never any meeting of minds due to adherence to party lines. Reagan and Bush allowed illegal immigration to flourish, Romneycare was the base for Obamacare , Medicaid reform to states was pushed by Bill Clinton etc

btw Cartman, ops are plenty... I know a phd shrink who is one of the best in the city, I cant disclose name to protect him..., he said Donnie is narcissistic but crazy like a fox , brilliant in reading emotions, understands that repetitive self promotion and big themes work. he also believes that he is a change maker for the better , that is where the delusion may exist

BS...He is running the same right wing play book the conservatives/republicans run...Cut taxes that will benefits the rich and powerful(corporate tax cut, repatriation)...Pull the rug out on benefits(Republican Healthcare plan to hit Medicare hard beyond Obamacare)..Blow out the deficit and debt further...Scale back on regulation(pollute the waters again, banks are gouging on credits card fees again, Airlines will be pouching with fees gone amok again)..I don't get the policy confusion...More upfront hate???..Yeah, refreshing..

i dont think he is brilliant in reading emotions. he figured that out by trial and error during primaries. as far as repetitive self promotion...that may work on the weak, but there's a contingent who wield more power (thankfully) who will never buy into that. delusional...doesn't even come close...your buddy understated that part.

What do they say about opinions? Reality is that a zany from the private sector who never ran for office beat both lifelong Pubs and Dems despite their machines, their war chests and their backing by the elite and msm. Quite amazing, almost as amazing as President Obama's ascension. Not sure anyone can simply assign it to 63 mil dummies or deplorables, as many of the same cast the 2nd and 7th most white votes for a Dem ever. Smart then, stupid now don't fly though it fits the whine. More about the increasing dissatisfaction with President Obama's policies and actions or lack of. We know most liked/respected President Obama's persona but his direction was continually being rejected at the polls during his tenure leaving the Dems now in a state of disarray. What ensues is a desperate scramble to disrupt and exaggerate the growing pains of an amateur politician. Frantic 'progressives' hope that Donnie Boy fails and the hypocrisy of their actions is the great reveal of their true colors. Perhaps esteemed neurologists, the same brainiacs who also once promoted eugenics can look into that group psychosis. As Kasich stated 'he is our pilot and you hope the pilot succeeds', even if the airline holds back on some freebies now. Expect Dems and the right will continue to resist but their impact and Donnies political success/ demise will hinge on whether he delivers the economic results he promises not some zany tweets

I really do hope that Congress fully investigates the entire Russian saga and concludes whether there was any real and serious infractions by Trump beyond using Russian dressing during the campaign or stocking Beluga gold line vodka.. Same goes for past administration as it relates to their spy games.

Let the serious questions be answered once and for all

What exactly has this administration done in regards to illegal immigration? What was its aim and how did it accomplish its goals?

Any response meloanyk?

Trump International Hotel was just approved for licenses in China which includes escort services..The Company applied for these licenses last April...

Coincidence?

no. not a coincidence.

http://www.salon.com/2017/03/09/mike-flynn-trumps-former-national-security-adviser-lobbied-for-turkey-during-campaign/

Gen. Mike Flynn, the former White House national security adviser who resigned last month for misleading government officials, registered as a foreign agent with the Justice Department on Tuesday for lobbying work he did on behalf of the Turkish government during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Flynn registered with the Justice Department’s Foreign Agent Registration Unit, claiming $530,000 worth of work from August through November that “could be construed to have principally benefited the Republic of Turkey.” It was filed by a lawyer on behalf of the former lieutenant general and intelligence chief.

Under the Foreign Agent Registration Act, U.S. citizens who lobby for a foreign government must disclose their work to the Justice Department. Willfully failing to register is a felony, although the Justice Department rarely pursues such cases. Lobbying firms routinely get back in compliance by retroactively registering and disclosing their work.

These are the people who were supposed to "drain the swamp"..

Look at the spike, where illegals (and most the country) assumed Hillary would win. They were flocking here, figuring it would be more of the same free ride. And the sharp decline, once Trump was elected.

What is this administrations impact you ask? I think you know the answer.
