Crying foul, third party, and howling at the moon, going as far as labeling Trump reckless, dangerous, and unpredictable with regard to access to WMD. If I remember correctly this same charge was leveled at Goldwater in '64
He's a hugely successful businessman, a graduate of the Wharton School, a financial conservative, social centrist, a builder.

YGTBSM.
I hope he wins and governs as a true conservative.
I expect that I have a better chance at winning the lottery jackpot.
I guess time will tell.

If Trump becomes president, his empire, complete with the Trump trademark, will become a major terror target and a security nightmare. Will the White House become Trump House?

I am satisfied that he has done all that he could do, given the obstruction he has faced from the Dimocrats (Resistance), the MSM (still focused on Russia, while Hillary did nothing wrong), and the leadership of his own party (McConnell and Ryan are an embarrassment).
I do not think any other candidate, outside of a few who could not have carried the General Election, could have accomplished more.
And he makes the libs crazy.

I think that he is probably the most honest and open person to hold that office in a long time. He wants to do the right thing for the country and does not care which side he has to work with to get the job done. Of course he gets little or no help from either side. I like how he is not afraid to call an ace an ace or a spade a spade on the world stage, we have eaten enough of the worlds crap for too many years. YMMV

I used to like Dubya until he used the words, "governing class" while trying to lecture the American people on how Trump should act...
All it did was demonstrate that America needs an unapologetically NON-politician like Trump more than ever. This two faced hand shake to cover the back room antics of this nations hucksters gives me indigestion and loose stools.
I'll take sophomoric twitter rants over "our governing class" any day of the week and twice on sunday.

I concur. When all the primaries etc began I said there were two people I would NEVER vote for; Hillary Rodham-Clinton (I hate hypenated names also) since they had 8+ years at the federal level, and Jeb Bush they had 12+ years at the Federal level.
In some way not much difference in how they think (i.e. the governing class) which means they think they know what best for me and everyone else.
Bull$hit.

Something in the article that caught my attention:
“Morale has never been lower,” said Tony Reardon, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, which represents 150,000 federal workers at more than 30 agencies. “Government is making itself a lot less attractive as an employer.”
I am very curious what the opinions are of this statement...from those who served in the military during the last administration.

Unions: When you’re not intelligent enough to make your own decisions.
Tony Reardon, president of the National Treasury Employees Union: “Government is making itself a lot less attractive as an employer.”
Spoken like a true socialist/communist.
Thank you President Trump.
