Hmmmm Where do I begin? I have had the opportunity to see a U.S. electoral campaign, election result and the aftermath from an 'insider' view instead of through Canadian news channels. It was very .... 'interesting'.

A man who told the people exactly what they wanted to hear .... not necessarily what they needed to hear is now the leader of the U.S.
Now understand this ..... during the campaign I saw and heard what everyone did and I wanted to believe that he may actually be able to be positive and unite the country. Would I have voted for him had I been able to ........ no. The fear of what may happen outweighed any positive feelings I had.

His mouth and continuous 'tweets' come across like a kid, a spoiled one. As POTUS his manner hasn't changed at all. If someone disagrees with him ..... insult them, dismiss them or humiliate them.
His decisions affect his businesses, in a positive way, and family members are just as quick to use a new level of 'fame' to push themselves.

DAPL .. He has shares in that and basically ordered that the Army Corps of Engineers allow ETP the access they required.

Wall Street .... Regulations eased.

Environment ... Thank the Republicans, who were sure their 'business savvy' boss would agree, have repealed a regulation that prevented coal mines from dumping their slag in streams / rivers. (If the water tastes funny ... thank them.)
Alternative Facts ..... seems like another $20 dollar term for ...... LIES.

Using the position of POTUS to speak out against a company because they dropped his daughter's merchandise line. I would have thought he would be happy. After all.."Buy American Made" / "America First" / 'Bring jobs and companies back to America" were his favorite phrases. Ivanka Trumps line is made in China, Vietnam and Indonesia. He threatened to hit those nations with tariffs.
President Trump Retweeted

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 16h16 hours ago
My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person -- always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!


Nordstrom handed a presidential gift certificate

The Travel Ban .... Not one of the nations that were actually involved in 9/11 or later attacks is on the list. They do however have Trump business dealings.

Civil Forfeiture .... Trump for it..... which allows law enforcement officials to seize assets from those suspected, not charged or convicted, of involvement in criminal activity . So if you are driving down the highway and have cash on you for a LEGAL business purpose ....... they can take it and keep it because they THINK you may be up to something illegal. Seems more like legalized theft.

And now the story that finally got me to post on Trump.

President Trump and his top aides coordinated their response to North Korea’s missile test on Saturday night in full view of diners at Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida — a remarkable public display of presidential activity that is almost always conducted in highly secure settings.
The fact that the national security incident played out in public view drew swift condemnation from Democrats, who said it was irresponsible for Mr. Trump not to have moved his discussion to a more private location.

“There’s no excuse for letting an international crisis play out in front of a bunch of country club members like dinner theater,” Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the Democratic leader in the House, wrote on Twitter.

Senators Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island and Tom Udall of Mexico, Democrats who have called for Mr. Trump’s club to release a list of its members, denounced the president on Monday for discussing the North Korean missile launch in the open.





I removed the posts congratulating the man on being so close to the action and left the ONE post that actually hit the point the fool should have thought of himself.

Use google and there are multiple articles on a Russian financial angle as well. Not necessarily government banking either.

It would seem that supporters have had enough as well....... usually due to his childish Tweets.

For the sake of my in-laws and the friends I have made here ....... I only hope that the U.S.A. survives Trump.

A man who told those people, he wanted to vote for him, exactly what they wanted to hear, which is what pretty much every politician for at least the last few decades has done.


The country will never be united.
When there is only one candidate, without opposition, and everyone votes for them, that's a united country.

Democracy and representative republics only really work when it's accepted that there's never really going to be unity.
If there was unity...the system of government would be redundant and pointless.

United States is a misnomer, IMO, it would be more appropriate or accurate to say "more united than fractured or directly opposed to each other and we don't really feel animosity or want to kill each other and we enjoy the benefits of cooperation more than isolation."

That would be way too long of an acronym.
Probably something like "Tolerating Each Other For Mutual Benefit States Located in North America." TEOFMBSLINA.
Unfortunately, that's too difficult to chant at NASCAR rallies.


The only thing to really fear is his access to nuclear weapons.
And that fear should be the same for everyone, no matter who is in office.
If you think Trump is less safe than Obama or Hillary or Bush or Clinton or Reagan, then you've been living under a false sense of security. Probably because a politician was telling you what you want to hear.


Well, we are a representative republic.
Pundits and opinions and little actual news on the air, safe spaces, snowflakes, everyone demanding rights for everything, everyone a victim.
Based on the comments section on the internet, main stream media rants and attacks, what pop culture is consumed, the obesity epidemic, so many things, as a spoiled kid Trump seems like the perfect representative.


Again, just like any other politician. "it's insider trading when the rest of America does it, but when congress does it it's not."

Lots of people leave office after they've become millionaires, or go from million to billionaires.
Al Gore made a pretty penny. Nancy Pelosi did too. Then there's the whole "military industrial complex," not to mention the Pharmaceutical industry influence (is it a complex yet?) and healthcare industry complex.


Really? Every single country has up and running business dealings?
I think you need to check your facts on this one.


Civil forfeiture has been around for more than 30 years, at least since the start of the drug wars.
So now Trump is a bad guy for accepting what's been the status quo for 30 years, while no other president has really done anything at all about getting rid of it?
At best, this simply makes Trump like every other president before him.


F'n Pelosi.
I think she'd prefer an Iron Curtain between government and the population. Mrs. "But we have to pass the bill so you can find out what's in it." Mrs. "so we can tell you what it is, or isn't."


Because foreign spy agencies are so inept that they can't take pictures of the people around the president?
It's more foolish to believe "enemies" don't already know who the guy is.

Ex-Im Bank was was launched during the administration of President Franklin Roosevelt.
After a private meeting between Sen. Joe Manchin and Trump, he said I've changed my mind completely on that. I've seen how it functions and what it can do and we can't compete if we dont have a functioning Ex-Im Bank. Good news for many manufacturing jobs. I have been off for a year. Won't be long now.

First off who gives a flying **** what a Canadian says and second if you don't like who the president is get the **** out. You didn't see everyone bitching and complain when Obama was president.
SemperFi

i often wonder what life is like, living in a world of alternate facts...

There was so many ****en riots when Obama was elected it was crazy.

well, which one is it ?

didn't see anyone bitchin and complaining... or.... was it rioting like crazy

Oh oh I don't wanna get pushed in the back of the head by these Anti Trumpers...so I'll just leave....

Good idea

me too...so predictable... soo... old.

The guy is OUR President... get over it already

LOL I'm hip!

stand with your feet about 3 feet apart, hands gripping just
beneath the calves and pull hard straight down...don't worry,
it'll pop right out and your vision will be restored to normal...

Just had to come back. now that sh*the is funny.
