Mixed bag for me..but..overall positive. I Especially enjoyed seeing the Progs pulling their hair out all week. In addition to skinny jeans, knapsacks and Cafe latte's...I can add bald heads to the list to identify them on the street.

.....have been more than I ever could have hoped for in my wildest dreams. I’m going to enjoy the pie fight while waiting for him to do the one thing I voted for him to do, which is appoint a Constitutional literalist to the Supreme Court to help secure all American's 2nd Amendment rights.

(Also, because progressive liberalism is bad for children and other living things.)

Just a good Court pick and some lower Court vacancies would be great. The rulings against a simple immigration order that is solely within the purview of the executive branch is telling of just how far the judiciary has veered from the Constitution and into "justice" advocacy.

With all the Libt*** heads exploding, shouldn't we call Homeland Security? It could be dangerous with so many explosions.

RE: Trump's First 9 Days
Trump's done a number of dumb things - and I feel like most of those were avoidable. Shame, because there are a few GOOD things happening that don't see the limelight because of it.

He's currently getting all of "his guys" in power - it will be hard to truly see the scope of his vision for about another month or so.

I think a lot of the insecurity comes from the fact that this is real, actual change. People aren't used to the Executive branch actually delivering on what they say. Most people thought Trump would have backed down a little and settled into the office.

Trump know this that's why he's done so much and with so much oompah because he knows people respect courage and credibility. He won't be drawing any red lines unless he has to and I hope the red lines he does draw are worthwhile and not draw him into a corner like Nieto is doing and very likely have to eat his words.

RE: Trump's First 9 Days
Trump is on thin ice. A big thing that could help him here is a Le Pen victory. He can then build the narrative of a new UK-France-Russia-USA axis of power, which would be a bit of a shock to most of Europe but COULD serve USA interests quite nicely.

I don't like Trump because he's racist, but I'm going to hold the phone on rating his presidency. There is a timeline out there that would paint him as the hero that we don't want but the one we ultimately make good use of.

It's early days.

Trump may be a lot of things but IMHO I don't think he's racist. The things he's done seem like racist but it's only because the people that have screwed this country aren't looking for the U.S. best interest. That is, the Mexican government, the Muslim nations, etc. and everyone with any common sense can see this.

I didn't know that keeping your promises made during a campaign was considered a dumb thing.

I guess we should feel honored that Obama lied about shovel ready jobs, lied about Obamacare (repeatedly) and lied a bunch more about countless other things. Those things are good, right?
