Trump won and that’s really all he wanted to do. He doesn’t actually care about running the country.

That is actually my fear. Because while a wall or banning all Muslims from entering the country were never going to happen, gutting social security, getting rid of the ACA and the rest of the Republican legislative agenda can happen. My hope is for a stunningly ineffective presidency because he spends his efforts fighting a Republican party that he has no loyalty to.
edited to add. And that he ruins the Republican brand for a generation, like a mirror/mirror version of Ronald Reagan.

My great hope is that all Trump wants is a resume piece. But Republican “Business as Usual” with full governance is no consolation.

They don’t have to ban Muslims, just turn the other way when they are attacked by racists that want to make America great again. Muslims will stop coming, go away or just hide.
Mission accomplished!

Nearly all of my clientele are Saudis studying at the local university.
Every one that I’ve talked to in the last two days says that they won’t be coming back next academic year, or even next semester.

Just like Brexit. You don’t have to ban people. Just make it clear they’re unwelcome.

He’s already said that Pence will be running domestic and international policy. I suppose that Trump will be doing vague ‘Make America Great’ again stuff and playing golf on a scale that will make Eisenhower look like an amateur.

Any universe where Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, Chris Christie, Reince Priebus and a Goldman Sachs executive are a ‘best-hope’ case is a very. very poor universe.

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

Good luck. In my opinion Trump just began the next generation of family dynasties in politics after closing the door on two others. This one has more money and more people than the others too.

Problem is, it doesn’t matter whether he’s effective or not. Republicans control the house, senate, white house, and soon the supreme court, and I guarantee that someone who does have an agenda (like Pence, or McConnell) will be able to easily push their agenda through.

I realize there are political realities, but the Supreme Court is nonpartisan and it’s not really fair to say that “Republicans” control it.
Since the Republicans refuse to allow a Democrat president to appoint someone to it, it is controlled by the Republicans. This has nothing to do with fairness. It’s a fact.

That’s not what was meant by “controlling” the Supreme Court, but okay.
Don’t forget to stock up on supplies.

Obviously there are a lot of promises Trump made that are not going to happen because reality gets in the way.
I just want to know if his supporters will even notice that he’s abandoning his promises.
I think he carried a lot of the upper midwest because the economic recovery mostly missed them. Trump promised to bring back jobs . . . and they fell for it like a promised payout from Prince Uchenna Mbarga of Lagos Nigeria. Trump’s plan for bringing back jobs? Tax cuts for the rich, and deregulation, the same old GOP mantras.
