He's already appointed a climate change denier the head of his EPA, what a liberal!

Hes not going to be 100% liberal, he ran on a conservative platform. The house and senate is not going to push a 100% liberal agenda but he will push some liberal policies while pushing conservative policies as well

What liberal policies will Trump pass?

Berlusconi is saner, far less fanatic and about a million times smarter.

Hopefully none lol but lets wait and see what he does.

But here is a hypothetical... Lets say Trump is a good president and has a good approval rating at the end of his term or terms. Does an actual politician ever win the the presidency again? I can see even more rich celebrities run such as a Mark Cuban and seeing what happened here, I can see them generating alot of support.

Seems like he's been talking about a stimulus package. If he's smart he channels money into the states (WI, MI, OH, etc) he's going to need again in 2020 assuming he wants a 2nd term (I think he referenced 8 years in his victory speech). After the ARRA was passed there were several infrastructure projects in my city (Oakland, CA) with billboards stating that they were ARRA funded. Jobs were created.

When is the next debt ceiling fight? The meta of conservatives being able to oppose increasing the debt ceiling under any circumstances because the adults in the room (democrats) wouldn't let that happen is gone. Like if Cruz comes out strong on no debt ceiling increase, then Trump says, "Sounds good!" What happens?

The dog whistles aren't dog whistles anymore. Someone in the white house is actually on board with all the things republicans and the freedom caucus have claimed to want. I'm just not seeing how this doesn't end in a massive recession that we've totally brought on ourselves. And it's not like europe is in good shape either, we're literally going to be depending on the chinese to hold the world together.

We were going to have a recession incoming regardless of which candidate won

The chances are exceedingly high that Trump will say or do something really stupid that will kick off a financial or foreign policy crisis that he escalates instead of backing down and taking his lumps. Outcomes range from a trade war resulting in prolonged recession to a foreign military intervention resulting in lots of dead brown people to a non-zero chance of nuclear holocaust. Even the relatively benign outcomes include lots of authoritarian measures here to boost his damaged political standing. Based on his history and the lack of credible political institutions to check him I'm not sure there's anything that's off the table.

We are giving him a chance. The protesters are just venting frustration and issuing a warning. It will quiet down soon.

And then, when Trump starts trying to enact all the horrible and stupid things he promised, there will be millions of us in the streets instead of thousands. If you don't want to see that then all you Trump voters need to get in touch with him and let him know that you don't want him to actually do the things he campaigned on. But you're not going to do that of course, because you do want those things done. That's why you voted for him.

You're already making excuses. Amazing.

Explain please

Obama gets blamed when he takes office after the start of a recession. Now he will also get blamed when he leaves office in the midst of a recovery (even if weak) when a recession occurs under the next president.

It was good to see the Obama/Trump meeting went well. Weird that this is noteworthy but any sign that Trump won't act like a lunatic at all times is welcome.

This. He's got this look the last couple days that says: ahh fk, now I gotta seem like a grown up.

I'm not going to go HAM and say there won't be elections in 2020. There will and they will probably be fair. But what are the odds that basically he isn't going full Nixon on the Democrats then? And the 2020 American security apparatus is WAY more powerful than a few bozos breaking into The Watergate.

I am not comparing the men at all bit I remember seeing a change on Obama when he received his first full security briefing after his election when the enormity of the responsibility sinks in. I hope Trump can handle it.

Trump supporters said they were going to reject the results and take up armed revolution against the government if they lost lolol

Well that's just because if they lost it would've been rigged.

They won, so it was totes fair and libs need to suck it up.

After Obama won:



Also, related, totally excited for the next 4 years of right-wing stooges getting the vapors over pretend outrages that were at some point in the past actually explicitly advocated for by Donald Trump on twitter.

Like, the unions that the Republican Party has been actively trying to kill for decades are all voting red now? I dunno dude, it's not like they called a truce on unions, they just lied and said they were gonna bring all the steel jobs back.

Why, because the GOP house isn't going to be making bills on abortion, guns, or gays that the GOP senate will pass (unless Democrats go full obstructionist)? Because President Trump will veto them?

I'm just glad we'll get to hear "Respect the office even if you don't respect the person holding it" again.

Yeah every time I start going down this path I stop and ask myself if this is what hysterical Obamaisasecretsocialistmuslim types were doing in 2008. But then I remember how easily he slips into narcissism and sociopathy and what kinds of political leaders he admires and that his campaign staff had to literally take his phone away from him down the stretch and that we are literally depending on Republican apparatchiks to blunt his worst instincts and yeah if anything I'm probably being optimistic in my assessment.

Trump already whitewashing his crazy promises from his website as he's getting shot down by Mitch in the senate.

Lol this is why you lost. There were plenty of people that disagreed with the rhetoric that Obama pushed and guess what? No republicans held any sort of physical violent protest because they do not act like children. Actually a liberal hatred movement of BLM started under him. You guys have some issues.

Every 10 years or so we have a recession. Last one was in 08 or so. The market is incredibly inflated. Recession incoming. LOL if you think otherwise
