Donald trump: the alpha male president

[AdamHenry]

Anything near the Mare Tranquillitatis (a.k.a., Sea of Tranquility)?

What with the advances of such commercial space ventures the likes of SpaceX I've been contemplating opening up a b&b or maybe even a pizza place on the lunar surface. Been thinking of calling the latter "That's Amore". After all, "when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie ... "

Coolness

He doesn't need to change, he needs to keep enacting the changes he campaigned on.

he is a right wing populist, he better fulfill the hope from all the people he was campaigning for

What you wrote is mostly opinion. If he doesn't get things done in the next 2 years you'll have a point.

I agree that there are an opinions there. But the facts are present there as well.

Cronies are in. DeVos, Carson, Mnuchin, Tillerson, Gary Cohn, Flynn, John Kelly and Bannon. Although some cronies were left out, such as Guliani. Others were questionable as to what catagory they fit... cronies or political payoffs... Perry and Haley.

It is tough to see how you can drain the swamp, when you put in place cronies that created said swamp.


We have the fact that at least two top Goldman Sachs leaders are now moved into top positions... National Economic Advisor and Secretary of the Treasury.

It is tough to see how you can keep Goldman Sachs from influencing economic policy, when they are now in charge of the process of writing economic policy.


The fact is he campaigned on a ever increasing height wall, up to 40ft tall, across the entire southern border. And the CPB and Army Corp of Engineers have both said, after he directed plans, that they neither need nor want said wall, and that said wall would hinder their ability to protect the border. The current proposal is nothing like what was campaigned for.

It is tough to see how you can get a 40ft wall sea to sea along our southern border, when the Army Corp of Engineers have said that it is both cost prohibited (I think they said $21.6Billion) and hinders the efforts to keep the border secure.

etc...

You are correct, those are my opinionated conclusions based on the facts.


However, I am not sure he will have two years to get there. If he can't get a handle on his messaging, his ability to get Congress to give him the legislation he wants will evaporate. He's already got breakaways and a heavy factionalized caucus.

And, the issues with Russia have more legs than a centipede, the latest being Sessions. Hence, another Republican (RINO or not) is calling for a special prosecutor. It won't take too much to tip that into an out of control Russia-gate investigation that would have the Trump Administration playing defense for a couple of years.

Truly, a Messaging problem that could derail any campaign promises. And that is why, I presume, he changed the tone and demeanor of his speech.

Russia is very powerful. They hacked the Oscars.

interesting statement, Russia is very powerful, They hacked the Oscars.
Well then you obviously do believe that Russia hacked all the various candidates accounts and used IT to influence the way the vote went therefore influencing the poor folk into supporting Donald.
Oh yes, "hacked the Oscars" - why - because Moonlight won instead of La La Land?
Oh dear, sounds like another bit of KKK fake news!
