I think a stronger base is now in place around the President and we will see a much more effective end product.

yeah, imagine if there were a huge financial crisis on our hands that the gov't had to deal with.

That's called deflection.

The world is a messy place and you can't account for changing events. Still Trump's Foreign Policy has also been a disaster. Going around the world and embarrassing the Country. Tweeting irresponsible statements and not realizing the repercussions. Not to mention all his White House Shake Ups and Turmoil. As i've said over and over those who voted for Trump simply didn't respect how hard the job really was. You can't just put some JAG in their and think they can handle the job. Trump being UNFIT doesn't even begin to describe how bad he is.

I feel like he would be more effective if it wasn't such a known secret he is in bed with Russia. Like a more discreet Trump would of done a lot more damage and maybe could of got the ACA repeal he wanted

a more discreet trump would not have won the election.

Trump came into Office on 3rd base and no outs and he still tripped on the way to Home Plate!!! There are NO EXCUSES for such incompetence. I watched him take FULL credit for the Economy and Wall Street and yet blamed Obama for the World state of affairs he's been dealing with for those same 6 Months. You can't cherry pick what you want to take responsibility for.

Did you hear Trump telling the cops (in Long Island) it's ok to rough up the thugs thats part of MS13......And a Tweet from Freddie Gray parrents asking if the police will rough up Trump when they put him in the patty wagon. But whats worst is the police had a loud ovation to that comment. What a joke. He's basically reversing everything this country had accomplished and going against peoples rights, which is innocent before proven guilty. Now he's telling cops, whoever you arrest who looks like thugs, should be treating as guilty before you even seeing a judge? Are you serious? Is he mentally crazy? This is like a bad dream you can't wake up from.

My questions would be optimistic based on what? What qualities did Trump display in his past that indicated he could be a good president? The honest answer for most folks is they voted for him because he wasn't Hillary.

why do you feel qualified to answer honestly for most folks. Classic overeach here thinking your own opinion is the only one that is correct.

Both candidates suffered from lack of charector. I won't elaborate since you can answer that yourself if you care to even try and be open mided. Trump is easily the dumbest guy in the room. Bush II atleast had moral values and depended on those around him to advise, even if he chose poorly occasionally on whom to listen to. He atleast always meant well even though he was poorly suited for the job.

Trump is still Trump and has more of a wall street morality. I guess my hope was that he could grow into the job but he won't ever shut up long enough to listen and learn from those around him who are smarter, better educated in the world and more experienced. This guy truly has serious issues.

There really is no point in discussing Hillary since she is not President and never will be. The old guard of the DNC will over time be ousted and replaced with new younger, highly educated and more progressive young people. Lets just hope we all survive long enough to seee it happen.

If someone said they thought both Hillary and Trump would be horrible but they thought Trump would be the less horrible of the two, whether I agree or not I could at least understand the rationale. But anybody who says they were "optimistic" that Trump wasn't going to be a train wreck, I'm still waiting for a rational explanation to justify that thought process. You can accuse me of not being "open minded" but I think that's just a camouflage to deflect not having a reasonable answer to the question.

To bring this back to sports, it's like expecting Charles Oakley in the latter stages of his career to begin playing like Charles Barkley. He couldn't do it when he was young, suddenly he's gonna do it when he's old? Trump just continued to do what he's has done best throughout his whole life, conning people. I'm not sure if you're a New Yorker, but if there's any group of people who shouldn't have fallen for the con it's a New Yorker. We know Trump better and for longer than anybody in the world.

I just don't understand the basis for "optimism?"
