Going to be an Interesting 4 years

[MiniDave]

I think WikiLeaks and the main stream media are both complete works of fiction and disinformation, so much so that I don't know who or what to believe anymore......

As I said before, I would like to see this country become what it promised right after WWII, a place to look up to, to aspire to.....and we aren't going to get there in ginourmous pickup trucks using the latest iphony.....we need to focus on getting ALL Americans interested in this country, and to get education back on the front burner.

What would happen to the education industry if teachers were paid like football or baseball players? Would there be a huge resurgence of interest in learning? Would that not be a good thing?

I share you complete dislike of Pence and most of the choices Trump has made to surround himself in his cabinet are the same good ol boys that have been undermining this country for the last 40 years.....so much for draining the swamp.

Nope, I'm afraid Mr. Trump is going to run up against the same issues the last 5 or 6 presidents have, that it's impossible to please everyone, and in the end you please no one.

Leading up to the election MSM was calling for a Clinton landslide victory.

"Fake" news sites like Drudge, Infowars, Veritas and Breitbart were all calling for a very close race with Trump having a slight upper hand.

That should be an indicator of who knows what is what.


Concerning Wikileaks.

I am conflicted, I do not like they are leaking a lot of confidential information and in some instances classified, but like the fappening I cannot help but look.  Years ago, leaks were damning against republicans, they seem to be nonpartisan best I can tell. I think when something stinks they will show you what stinks.  the trick is to filter out the BS, there are fake emails that have been exposed as fake that were not from Wikileaks.  Then you look at the content and in some cases look at what happened.

For example, Bernie, he was never going to be the Dem nominee. As we all saw he was a landslide peoples choice but the super delegates were already lined up with Clinton, as was the plan all along. How could the Democratic party ignore a clear peoples choice?   Then you see emails in Wikileaks saying things like "Bernie needs to get back on script, someone needs to reach out to him and remind him what his role is etc...."  If they are fake emails then they were prophetic.

Another person Trump has near him is Christie,  he is a corrupt NJ POS.   I do like Giuliani and hope he has a decent role in the cabinet.  Right now I am skeptical things are going to change.  I hope I am wrong.

OK, we're three years in.....

What do you all think about Mr. Trump and his presidency so far?

Can't complain.  My 401k is up bigly and everyone I know with a small business is killing it. 

Just did a 3 year look back on my account and it's literally tripled.

I am too busy to care.

Question for you.

How has this presidency impacted your life for the negative?



I know the previous 8 years ruined my business as it dragged on a never ending recession. Someday I may be able to actually pay off the 200K I went into debt trying to save my business from failure. I am slowly knocking that down and hope to have it gone in another year.  4 years of hard work in a booming economy to fix 8 years of destruction.

Then on top of that,  I had to give up health insurance as the price of it almost doubled the amount of my mortgage payment. My health insurance went from $400 a month to over $2000.

So for me, the last almost 3 years have been a godsend for my business. I was able to hire on, I was able to purchase new equipment and even now I can barely keep up.

What changed?  De-regulation for one part, it spurred on an energized economy and made business owners and investors optimistic for the first time in a long time.

Trump? he is an asshole he cannot hide his vindictiveness like a "professional politician" can he puts it all out there for everyone to see. Because he is not a snake like all of the DC folks.  Keep in mind, Sanders, Warren and Biden have all been in DC for over 30 years. THEY ARE THE PROBLEM!! That is why I voted for Trump. He is not one of them. The resulting temper tantrum proves they do not want an outsider there. I cannot wait to see what the next 5 years exposes.

Sometimes he is a buffoon with his petty fights and stupid remarks...

Except there is one thing different, all his moves seem to always be for the betterment of America. He always seems to be looking long term in bettering our position in the world and internally regarding a stimulated economy.

While I think he is an asshole of a human being and a shitty husband.  There is no denying despite him being at constant war with the democrats, he is getting a LOT done and bolstering our country.

The only people who seem to be missing this point are people who watch CNN and read Huffington post. Which are indeed fake news, Project Veritas has confirmed what we all already knew, CNN (Zucker) has a vendetta against Trump and it has been proven Zucken makes his staff report only negative on everything. Ignoring all the good.


So in my case, I a loving how Trump has energized this country and finally stimulated our economy.

On the other hand I a severely disappointed he is signing off on Congresses spending bills, he should veto veto veto until they get us on a path to pay down our staggering debt.

We will look back and see, that idiot GW Bush started us on a course of no return, then Obama took office and said, hold my beer.  They were the 1-2 punch that killed America. Trump cannot save it, I thought he could I was naive.  It is over, it is just a matter of time before it all collapses.

I am sure once one of these "Everyone gets everything free" Socialists gets in office that will be the end of America.
