Just having fun watching the Trump haters have a meltdown.

Sure you are.

 

[Matt]

Sure you are.

I am. Almost as much fun I had watching him win an election you said was impossible for him to win.

Yeah, I was wrong about that and I admit it. I clearly placed too much faith in the American people. Given his behavior in office, I still contend that his election is a direct path to a liberal-controlled government for a long time to come. Hopefully that prediction turns out wrong also. Evan is right, though... if you're enjoying this, you're in denial.

I am enjoying seeing regulations eased, taxes lowered, manufacturing jobs and mining jobs coming back to the United States. I am enjoying the beginning of the return of healthcare in this country to normalcy. If you don't like what has happened thus far, I contend it is you and Evan that are in a state of denial. It is early and he is just getting started. Give the man a chance.

My taxes haven't budged, have yours? I'd love a tax break.
I can assure you the only thing Trump has brought so far to our hospital is concern, case managers trying to figure out what he might do and praying the administration actually puts forth a thorough effort to determine if changes they make are good in the long run and are rolled out smoothly.

You just named a bunch of things he hasn't done. He has basically picked the craziest of his ideas to implement first.

I'd be embarrassed if I had voted for him.

How do you feel about his lying?

Patience Grasshopper! The man has not been president a month. Geez!

What about the lying?

 

[Matt]

What about the lying?

I thought the "if you like your healthcare, you can keep your healthcare falsehood was not good. Neither was the "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor". The worse was "premiums will go down an average of $2500 per year". All bad.

You know I meant Trump's lies. Trump was supposed to be different.

Be specific.

 

[gangstonc]

Be specific.

See above statements about electoral college.

Alternative facts.

"Only 109 people out of 325,000 were detained and held for questioning. Big problems at airports were caused by Delta computer outage,....."

: "If you were a Christian in Syria it was impossible, at least very, very tough to get into the United States. If you were a Muslim, you could come in, if you were a Christian, it was impossible."

The false claims about making the f35 cheaper when the price cuts were already planned.

Mexico paying for the wall.

"Here in Philadelphia murder has been steady — I mean — just terribly increasing.”



Voter fraud.

Be specific.

“I would rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done,” Trump, 69, tells ITK. "I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off.” The golden combover has gone to his vacation home in Fla 3 weekends in a row playing golf.

I honestly can't fault a President who flies down to sunny south Florida on weekends from cold, wintry Washington DC. Heck, if I were the President and owned property in West Palm or Naples, would do it myself. It's only a 2.5 hour flight.

But he said he wouldn't.

Lame!

 

[gangstonc]

Lame!

Well reasoned answer. I like the facts you supplied and the effort you put forth. Thanks for contributing.

 

[maroonedinhsv]

Lame!

Denial!

 

[PerryW]

But he said he wouldn't.

Well, I've been known to change my mind sometimes. I don't mind if the President does the same. Trump certainly isn't perfect, but if the worst thing he does as president is fib/ change his mind about flying from Washington DC to sunny warm West Palm Beach on winter weekends, I'll be a very relieved and happy conservative.

FWIW, I'm NOT a Trump supporter; have never liked the man......only voted for him in November as the lesser of two evils (I totally despise Hillary Clinton). So far, Trump has done better than I expected. Am praying this trend continues.
