Trump Presidency Predictions Thread - Page 24 - Politics and Economics

Trump seems to already be going back on a lot of his promises

The removal of all illegals is not on his site. He promised to defend South Korea after saying that they should get nukes. He won't prosecute Hillary Clinton. He recently stated that he may not necessarily repeal all of Obamacare. He's surrounded himself with a transition team full of GOP establishment politicians. Toss that on top of many of the things that will never happen such as his wall on the Mexican border and there are gonna be a lot of pissed off Trump voters.

Guess the butthurt is just gonna come later than expected.

A bull**** candidate, running on bull****, supported (in significant part) by bull**** people who think and talk in bull****. AORN he's aiming for Presidential, surrounded by a slightly panicky team of handlers frantically love-bombing him every time he hits the target (and I do mean hits the target; we are not talking bullseyes here). The problem is how long that will satisfy the cravings. It'll paper over the cracks for X amount of time, how long, who knows. And what happens when something goes wrong? Anyone's guess.

Should we ban Catholics, too? Ireland's got a pretty violent history after all, so we should protect our citizens, right?

Those tweets are from people called "reporters" who were at a Trump rally. The real giveaway there is that the tweets say "hang that bitch" was yelled.

I guarantee you can't find a tweet of a reporter hearing someone say "kill Trump" at a Clinton rally.

Probably the only person better vetted and thus less likely to have broken the law than a Syrian refugee is Hillary.

You shouldn't let anyone in this country if you can't vet them to the best of your ability and know who they are. Why risk American lives?

Why does it have to be a Clinton Rally? Plenty of Clinton supporters went to Trump rally to yell and do bad things. Wasn't recently someone caught with a gun and they legit thought he was trying to kill trump? So some trump supporters say mean things while Clinton supporters literally tried to kill him.

But Trump is a homophobe and hates gays!

"Gay billionaire Peter Thiel has joined Donald Trump’s transition team and administration alongside a string of anti-LGBT activists, the President-elect has confirmed."

But you voted for someone who refused to release his taxes, who is accused of scores of sex crimes and is about to go to court for fraud over trump university. You elected a leader without the most basic vetting possible.

He is not the best choice for inclusiveness and sane governing. He literally funded a project to allow the rich white parts of California to stop subsidising the black parts by essentially becoming its own country.

Plus he is about to go to court for fraud. Which last I checked was a crime. As is sexual assault. And spousal rape.

He literally called for his supporters to murder her if he lost. Literally. He wasn't even dog whistling.

He probably just meant they'd be really good at petitioning or something.

So is your thesis then that Trump doesn't want to be reelected?

Lol he literally stated he wanted to take the cops gun to kill trump and would openly do it again if given the opportunity. What difference toes it make if he brought it or tried to take someone elses

I dont have a clue honestly. When he first ran, I didn't think he really wanted to win. It was only after he won the primary and did nothing but campaign did I believe he was in it for the long haul. So yeah I have no idea what is going through his mind as far as reelection.

None of us have any idea how good or bad of a president he is going to be. Time will tell. But hes going to be the president so give him a chance.

I really think Trump wants to go down as the greatest president of all time and in order to do that he is going to have to cater to everyone. He did what he had to do to get elected, lets see what he does now that hes elected.

Well, at least Trump is keeping his campaign theme of hate going. Ken Blackwell is leading Trump's domestic policy transition team and Kris Kobach is on the immigration transition team.

A quick Googling will tell you all you need to know about them.

I feel very lucky that I'm a white, straight male right now. The fact I'm Jewish only puts me near the bottom of the Trump hate list.

"President-Elect Donald Trump tells the WSJ that he is willing to keep two major parts of Obamacare - the ban on insurance companies denying coverage because of pre-exisiting health conditions, and he would also let adult children stay on their parents' insurance until age 26

Lol just hope you can agree that Clinton is also a garbage human being then.

But like that is just stupid, he can literally be the greatest president for 8 years helping everyone but you are still going to hate him? Just gtfo, this is why the left suck.
