Pedophile in Chief.
Nothing changes what he admits to being.
That's not fair. He does NOT admit to that. There are plenty of fair things to criticize him for, no need for hyperbole. Its bogus when "they" do it, so its bogus when "we" do it.
Credit where do: he gave a gracious acceptance speech last night. I dislike his campaign and have never liked him, but I get to spend a few months being hopeful that he took his campaign to where he needed to in order to win - but will govern pragmatically. The Oval Office beat the "hope and change" our of Obama pretty fast. So lets not throw President Trump under the bus before he has even had a chance to screw up.
I'm curious to see what his actual plan is with:
1) Obamacare. Obviously they will try to throw it out (again). But, its entrenched. There are 13,000,000 people who receive healthcare from Obamacare, and millions more under expanded medicaid. Hospitals, doctors, insurance companies, drug companies, and others all profit from it. Republican states as well as Democratic states get kickbacks/subsidies from it. Not too mention it has notched up health metrics. I predict it will be changed, declared victoriously dead, and the meat of the program will basically remain.
2) Immigration. Obama removed more illegal immigrants than any president in history. Bush added more border guards and built more border security than anyone else. The much hyped "wall" is a spruce goose, Trump's smart enough to know that (tens of billions of dollars for no benefit). But if he leverages that hostility to get Mexican side enforcement (which President Hoover tried) AND goes after illegal employers, maybe that different approach will work. But he needs to reassure and reach out to legal immigrants, I know lawyers, professors, and engineers that are nervous.
3) Russia. Russia was the first foreign country to congratulate President-elect Trump and the Duma erupted into applause at the news of their new comrade. But Trump may need to distance himself because of the perceived closeness and establish a "tougher than Obama" image. It could backfire for Russia. Tough guys often don't get along.
4) NATO. Hopefully Trump understands the importance of allies. He has a point that many NATO countries are not living up to their commitments as far as military spending. Lets hope he is trying to shake them into action, but quickly reaffirms the US Commitment before we risk a real war in eastern Europe.
5) Economic Policy. No way anyone really thinks the issue in America is that the richest don't have enough and need more tax breaks, while at the same time gathering hordes of rural poor to a populist banner. No way an actual businessman (and Republican) fails to understand free trade. I can certainly see deregulation back to pre-great-recession levels. I can also see increased infrastructure spending as an economic stimulus. But the tax plan he released creates unprecedented deficits, I can't see a Republican Congress passing it unless they just stop pretending to care about the deficit.
6) Appointments. I'm curious to see if Democrats filibuster any Supreme Court nomination and insist that the American people get a say or insist the Court remain at 8. Do they stop action on appointments of other Federal judges, the Department of Labor, etc. etc. etc. like the Republicans have done for years? Then Republicans whine and they're both hypocrites.
