Trump's Presidency

[AZ_]

Stock market is surging since Trump was elected.

I'd imagine they were thrilled by the prospect of a Goldman Sachs executive being floated for Fed Chair.

I have problems with most of the Trump campaign. The least of my worries is this Russian non sense.

My concern is Mike Pence and his obvious Religious Laws that he wants... Gay conversion therapy, Creationism in Public schools, Discrimination of liberties in the name of Offensive to my religion... Sounds like a Muslim state to me.

Dude. Its up maybe 300-350 points... A minur "surge" if anything. The DJIA has been flirting with record highs for much of the recent past. It is worth noting, though, that its moving up in spite of industry analysts predicting big losses if Trump won.

I still think the market is artificially high and doesn't represent the true nature of the economic situation in our country (not that it is necessarily meant to.)

You voted for a man hoping that he doesn't do what he says he's going to do. That's INSANE.

That's not true. I'm sure Maximus hopes Trump does a lot of the things he said he would do. He was just pointing that out for the benefit of the rest of us.

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

A chance to what, not do everything he said he'll do over the last year?

I just wish people would stop saying that he's some wild card.

The reason people are saying that is that many of his campaign statements seem to be reversals from his prior public positions. So the question is whether he was just saying thos stuff for the campaign, or does he really believe it?

I honestly don't know. But I do know he's not Hillary.

That's true, but as a noted white supremacist, @Maximus can't be looked upon as the standard.

He probably wants Trump's fiscal policy implemented.

Most conservatives are hoping his social and foreign policy stances were just talk.

That's true, because Hillary's campaign statements seemed to be reversals from her prior public positions.

It's dishonest and shameful.

The devil you know....

Hillary would have had a much harder time implementing her fucked up agenda. Trump has free reign.

Yes, but Obama is still the President. So obviously it's the result of him and his policies.

I still can't wait until Trump takes office and then the Fed stops artificially freezing interest rates like they have for Obama and his economic "recovery". And right on cue, you'll have the libs moan about how interest rates have gone up "because of Trump".

 

[Cratylus]

Did you see him putting explicit racists in the Cabinet?

Administering religious tests for citizenship?

There is a greater reaction because these plans are far more extreme than anything Obama ever proposed, not because of media bias.

Honest question here, @AZ_ ... who are the racists that have been offered Cabinet positions?

Jeff Sessions
Newt Gingrich
Joe Arapiao

These are just the names being tossed around, given his surrogates from the campaign I'm certain there will be more.

 

[Hurl Bruce]

I am very interested to see how Trump handles criticism. It's been rough for him so far, and he wasn't even in the position of being the most criticized person in the world.

Newt Gingrich is many unsavory things, but I wouldn’t call racist one of them. He’s seems very anti-bigotry.

He’s “racist” by the metric you would call Joe Biden racist...in that he generalizes and stereotypes minority groups from time to time. But he isn’t actively discriminatory and against those group’s advancement...hallmarks one would normally associate with racism.
