Trump explained – not saying I agree or disagree – only giving this as one possible explanation
When was the last time you could vote for the ideal candidate? I’m old, and I always voted. I can’t remember ever thinking any were ideal. We always have two choices, usually Tweedledee and Tweedledum. If you didn’t vote for Tweedledee you got Tweedledum. That’s the way it is folks.
Now consider this……An interesting analogy.
You’ve been on vacation for two weeks, you come home, and your basement is infested with raccoons. Hundreds of rabid, messy, mean, raccoons have overtaken your basement. You want them gone immediately, so you hire a guy. A pro. You don’t care if the guy smells, you need those raccoons gone pronto and he’s the guy to do it! You don’t care if the guy swears, you don’t care if he’s an alcoholic, you don’t care how many times he’s been married, you don’t care if he has plumber’s crack…you simply want those raccoons gone! You want your problem fixed! He’s the guy. He’s the best. Period.
That’s why Trump…. Yes, he’s a bit of an ass. Yes, he’s an egomaniac, but you don’t care. The country is a mess because politicians are playing games and we are all sick and tired of Tweedledee and Tweedledum choices. The Democrats are killing us, the Republican Party is gutless, liberals don’t have a clue, and illegals are everywhere. You want it all fixed!
You don’t care that Trump is crude, you don’t care that he insults people, you don’t care that he had been friendly with Hillary, you don’t care that he’s been married 3 times, you don’t care that he fights with Megyn Kelly and Rosie O’Donnell, you don’t care that he doesn’t know the name of some Muslim terrorist,…this country is weak, bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegal’s, we are becoming a nation of victims where every Tom, Ricardo and Hamid is a special group with special rights to a point where we don’t even recognize the country we were born and raised in; “AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED”. Trump is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want. You’re sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, and sick of illegal’s. You just want this thing fixed.
Trump may not be a saint, but no person or company he has ever done business with has come forward and called him corrupt, or hard to do business with. He doesn’t have lobbyist money holding him, and he doesn’t have political correctness restraining him. All you know is that he has been well educated at the university of Pennsylvania business school, seems to have boundless energy, has been very successful, a good negotiator, he has built a lot of things, and he’s not a cowardly, deceitful, professional, politician. And he says he’ll fix it.
You don’t care if the guy has bad hair.
You just want those raccoons gone.
Out of your house!.
Now!!!!
THIS MAY BE WHY HE LEADS THE POLLS.

Now we need to see IF he can walk the walk .
He is starting off way Different then ALL others before him and made MORE promises then any body else .
The big thing that I see him changing is the tax code .
The Rs have not wanted to invest in any thing for years that would lead to bigger government . The last 8 years they did not want to invest in their own ideas .
Maybe this is a time for change for Trump is a Deal marker . He even has a book that he can refer to if he gets in trouble . Which will happen in the first 100 days .
Good Rolling . 😀 😀

He thinks a twit and a twit here will get things done .
Ban everybody from countries that have not hurt us so far with the ones who did blow us up he does business with them go Fig.
If he would listen to the great people around him he would be better off .
Either way he is and will make mils. from US .
He said that the pipe line would be made of US pipe . How great that is when it is 95% done .It makes for good press .When things dont go his way he just twits a new drama .That way we forget about the bad stuff .
Maybe the first jobs will be working with the high speed train .
How we forget that when Obama took office we were losing 800,000 jobs a month .
So for him to do a better job at jobs he will . Well you do the math since Obama left with creating 150,000 a month . So far he saved 800 at Carrer .Maybe more since they do create more in other fields .
So far I think if he used the people around him more he would be better off . Just saying .
Good Rolling. 😀 😀

He is still saying one thing but doing another .
He also must be listening to some around him since he is tweeting Less .
Good Rolling.

He did not have to stop the loss of 800,000 jobs a month but still needs to create more then he has .Just saying . This country needs some work .he has made the government smaller tho .
Posted by: Finisher on May 31, 2017, 4:12 pm
What will be next ?
Getting out of Paris deal and making one with Russia ?????
I don’t think he is walking the walk yet but then it has only been 100 or so days .
Good Rolling. 😀 😀
Posted by: Finisher on June 11, 2017, 7:31 am
Just a thought you may be able to get him to shut up and go to work . 😀 😀
I think he needs to reread his own book again if he ever read it .
Good Rolling. 😀 😀

They would rather run witch hunts than deal with our huge problems, N Korea.
You know if it was not for Russia you would be speaking either Japanese or German, yes we did not and still do not trust them, but WW2 would of been a lose without them as our allies.
Unemployment is down market hit another all time high, the jobs that are now being created are middle of the road income not minimum wage.
Now if the press and the politicians would shut up for just a minute and get responsible enough to stop trying to sell newspapers at anyone’s expense, what would Trump really be able to do.
Hey but what do you expect from a country that disrespects its leader hourly,and is willing to say anything at all on social media for there 15 minutes every chance they get, why because they do not like what he is saying.
Dale Earnhardt Sr said I do not care if they are cheering for me or booing at me I got to be doing something right to have there attention.
So I ask again what help does he need?

TRUMP CAN’T SWIM
Posted by: Finisher on June 13, 2017, 5:09 pm
Then he claims to save over 1,000 jobs with Carrier air . Then he did get the cost of our plains Down by a lot .
He should stick to making deals and leave the rest to the great help that he has .But he even cant get his group to say what he wants . He really lacks in He said that he was going to drain the swamp . But instead he has hired little . He complains that the Dems are taking to long but in the real world they need names .He said that he knows more then ALL the Generals and then he hires a lot .
Makes a country that has over 10,000 of us there mad to the rest around go fig.
He agreed to try and have a smooth transition ,then again fired all the district attys. Who have not been replaced.
Lets see what happens in the future . I think all he cares about is money and the rich are going to get richer . Just look at the stock market . Which by the way is his doing if you ask him .
Eight years ago it was said that it will be a DO Nothing thing and it still seems to not CHANGE at all .IF HE WAS SUCH A GREAT.GREAT Deal maker way has he not worked BOTH sides .
He talks to no one and reads even less .The head does not even know what the neck is doing if you ask me .
Even Bush is shacking his head .
Follow the Money as they say .
Bman there is a lot of opening to fill . I at least said that I would not work for the Man .If I had to do work for him I would want to see payment first .I just don’t trust the Man .
Good Rolling.
PS If our last one did this He Would be gone by NOW .

I’m a big Ted Cruz supporter. I helped and campaigned for Ted in his run to be our U.S. Texas Senator. When the Donald announced, I decided it would be better to have a successful businessman who owed nobody anything and could not be bought, than another 8 years of a Harvard Law graduate (remember Obama).
The deciding factor for me was the Donald’s clear grasp of national security, including our borders, with a much stronger grasp of its importance than Ted Cruz’s understanding. Their campaign platforms made the difference perfectly clear. Look, I’m a veteran, my 5 sons are veterans, 2 still serving in the Army. So, I know how important it is to have the right kind of person as President. When my 3rd son (LSU grad) was in Afghanistan, his last tour, his convoy was hit by an IED, specifically his ride. He crawled out of the wreck, injured and bleeding, his head reeling, and still had to take out 3 of the jihadis. Directly behind him was a jeep with a mounted 50 caliber machine gun. That gun was manned, but silent. Know why? Because our wonderfully educated, noble, too good for us to deserve, President Obama’s rules of engagement prohibited use of a 50 caliber machine gun against anything except enemy equipment. That’s what happens when we elect someone who has a feeble grasp of war. No thank you.
When I saw Florida and Ohio go for the Donald, I breathed such a sigh of relief. Just these short 7 months have given me great confidence that the Donald is and will be a great President. My first hint was his nomination of Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State. I’m from ExxonMobil, and I know Rex, while immensely capable and successful, he hates the limelight. And Donald got Rex to agree to be Secretary of State? Wow. BTW, most people, even at ExxonMobil, do not know that Rex held a weekly Bible class at the office (Dallas, of course), at very politically correct ExxonMobil!
Now, Finisher, I understand your skepticism – nothing wrong with that and no need to change. And I’ll remind everyone what my father, Judge Byers, would say to me: Like business, don’t take politics personally, even when others do.
We have a national history of great political divisions, and that’s Part of who we are. But unless you’re the Antichrist, unity is overrated. Nevertheless, we must respect our Republic process and do our part to make things right.
President Trump will deal with Congress, all while dealing with Isis, the press, China, our bloated and counterproductive federal bureaucracy, the Federal Reserve, the federal courts, and Iran, all in due time. From what I remember under even President Ronald Reagan, President Trump is moving at quite a clip.
As an aside, when I was in London back in 1999, I took a London cab. The cabbie asked if I was American, and I said, Yes, I’m a Yank. He asked, "What was so great about Ronald Reagan?" I thought for a few seconds and replied, "How about – He ended the Cold War!" He shut up after that.

You hit it out of the park Skinny. We didn’t want another politician. We didn’t want a RINO. We wanted someone to drain the swamp. If all these RINOS that lost to him and also lost to Obama would just help him. I got to say one thing for Democrats, they stick together and never blast one of their own. The Republicans need to learn this. Everyone is out to get him. Now I am not saying that he doesn’t bring some of this in himself, but really, like Preacher said, if he did walk on water, they would say he can’t swim.
Business is better, heck even my GTC business is better. Give him some help Republican Senators and Congressman.
He will win again in 4 years

Well I think that he is not walking the walk yet and never will . He needs to do what he says . Like get the best to advise him . He does not Take any tho .
He feels that he is NEVER WRONG and never admits when he is .He asks for Loyalty and says that he likes that . Then ONLY shows it to family . He is only loyal if it helps or services to his betterment .
That boy scout speech was not great at all . One of the leaders should of thanked him and got him OFF that platform . It just shows how he says one thing BUT does another . Hell I don’t want to talk politics to scouts is that not what he said SO who made him do it ?
He said that he would make deals and is a closer . Well it takes Both sides or SHOULD any way .
I am let down from BOTH sides . What is going on . To much hate .
He needs to get to work and make deals with both sides in on it .
How we all forget how it was when Obama took office . 8000,000 JBs loss every month . Talk about a mess to deal with . Trump came in with a gain in jobs for several months . Then made a BIG deal about saving 1,000 jobs at carier air which has since half gone away to Mex.
Follow the MONEY we will see what that brings us .
To me he is just a CON Man and has done a GREAT JOB of that .
Sorry but you guys just got me started . I hope that things get better .
One more thing .When I was over in Europe I was at a B&B and asked about this trump guy . They said to me that he was making their leaders look better . 😀
I did not know what to say . Now 1year later I know what they meant by that .
Good Rolling.
Posted by: Dominator on July 26, 2017, 6:47 pm
I wanted a person that wasn’t a politician and a person that didn’t do things the way politicians do. I wanted someone to shake things up, but he can’t do it alone, By that I mean he needs the so called Republicans to start backing him like the Dems back everything that Obama wanted.
I like want he is doing and trying to accomplish and I will vote for him again in 4 years because again I am sick and tired of politicians who say one thing and do something else. This debacle of the health insurance is a perfect example ….. 2 years ago the Republicans voted to repel when they knew that Obama would veto it and now when they have someone to sign the bill they change their mind and even vote against just to have a debate.

President Trump has accomplished much in his first six months in office. Today at the end of this period, is a list of these many accomplishments.
Stock Market
In President Trump’s first six months since the election and since his inauguration the US Stock Markets are at record highs and millions of Americans are benefitting in their retirement savings accounts.
* The DOW daily closing stock market average has risen 18% since the election on November 8th. (On November 9th the DOW closed at 18,332 – today on July 26th the DOW closed at 21,711 for another all time stock market closing high).
* Since the election the DOW has set a new all time closing high one out of every four days the market is open!
* Since the Inauguration on January 20th the DOW is up 9%. (It was at 19,827 at January 20th.)
* The DOW took just 66 days to climb from 19,000 to above 21,000, the fastest 2,000 point run ever. The DOW closed above 19,000 for the first time on November 22nd and closed above 21,000 on March 1st.
* The DOW closed above 20,000 on January 25th and the March 1st rally matched the fastest-ever 1,000 point increase in the DOW at 24 days.
* On February 28th President Trump matched President Reagan’s 1987 record for most continuous closing high trading days when the DOW reached a new high for its 12th day in a row!
* The S&P 500 and the NASDAQ have both set new all-time highs during this period.
* The US Stock Market gained $4 trillion in wealth since Trump was elected!
* The S&P 500 also broke $20 Trillion for the first time in its history.
US Debt
As of today, the US Debt has decreased under President Trump since his inauguration by (-$103) Billion. (President Obama increased the US debt in his first 6 months more than $974 Billion or nearly $1 Trillion.) The difference between Presidents Trump and Obama is more than $1 Trillion.
Jobs
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics President Trump added a projected 1,027,000 jobs in his first six months (January through June 2017.) President Obama on the other hand lost more than 3,826,000 million jobs in his first six months. President Trump inherited an economy that would barely budge – but under his watch, American businesses small and large have already created more than 1,000,000 new jobs since January. Company after company is responding to the president’s agenda with optimism – investing billions of dollars in American jobs, American workers and America’s future.
Unemployment
Also according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the unemployment rate since President Trump’s inauguration decreased from 4.8% to 4.4% (January through June 2017). The unemployment rate in January 2017 was 4.8% and by June it was down to 4.4%. Unemployment under President Obama on the other hand moved in the opposite direction. In his first six months as President the US unemployment rate increased each month from 7.8% in January 2009 to 9.5% by June of 2009.
Inflation
As noted recently, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics the US inflation rate decreased to an eight month low in June to 1.6%. This is in part due to President Trump’s energy policies that are helping average Americans with cheaper gas and electricity.
Housing Sales
Housing sales are red-hot in the US right now. In 2011, houses for sale were on the market an average 84 days. This year, it’s just 45 days.
According to the US Census Bureau, there were nearly twice as many US housing sales in the past couple of months as there were under President Obama in 2009 during the same time period. (The annualized housing sales rate for May 2017 is reported at 610,000 where in 2009 this amount was only 376,000.)
Decrease in Regulations
One of the first things that President Trump did in office was to reduce the number or burdensome regulations put in place during the Obama era. In January President Trump signed his 2 for 1 executive order mandating that for every new regulation, two regulations needed to be revoked. Even far left Politico notes that significant new federal regulations since Trump’s inauguration have slowed to an almost total halt.
Regulations cost Americans and American companies money to implement and maintain. Reducing or halting regulations allows companies to spend their money on more prudent money making areas.
Other Results
The US Manufacturing Index soared to a 33 year high in President Trump’s first six months which was the best number since 1983 under President Reagan.
The Federal Reserve has increased interest rates three times since President Trump was elected into office in November. The Fed increased interest rates only once in Obama’s 8 Years prior to the increase after President Trumps winning the election in November.
Illegal immigration is down almost 70% under President Trump.
NATO announced Allied spending is up $10 Billion because of President Trump.
After the previous president tried to stack the courts with liberal jurists, our president made a commitment to appoint federal judges who will uphold the Constitution and the God-given liberties enshrined there. Look no further than the newest Supreme Court Justice, Constitutionalist Judge Neil Gorsuch who after being nominated by President Trump, was confirmed and sworn in as Supreme Court Justice in early April.
After years of so-called “sequestration” and budget cuts to our armed forces, President Trump has already signed the largest increase in defense spending in nearly 10 years and called for the greatest investment in military readiness since the days of President Ronald Reagan.
And this president calls our enemy by its name – radical Islamic terrorism – and with the leadership of this commander-in-chief our armed forces are taking the fight to ISIS on our terms on their soil.
The President has signed around 150 executive orders, memoranda and proclamations as of July 19th, including:
* Dismantling Obama’s climate change initiatives, rolling back the Clean Power Plan.
* Travel bans for individuals from a select number of countries embroiled in terrorist atrocities.
* Enforcing regulatory reform.
* Protecting Law enforcement.
* Mandating for every new regulation to eliminate two.
* Defeating ISIS.
* Rebuilding the military.
* Building a border wall.
* Cutting funding for sanctuary cities.
* Approving Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines.
* Reducing regulations on manufacturers.
* Placing a hiring freeze on federal employees.
* Exiting the US from the TPP.
President Trump and his beautiful family visited leaders around the world. In his first foreign trip as President he went to Saudi Arabia and gave one of the most historic speeches in US history. The President implored the Muslim leaders of 50 countries to get rid of terrorists in their countries and “drive them out“. No world leader had ever done this!
As a result, the President sided with the leaders of these countries including Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan against terrorism, ISIS and Iran.
In addition to all this, the President has met with many foreign leaders from across the globe on numerous trips and he invited others to his place in Florida, Mar-a-Lago, including Xi from China, Abe from Japan, etc.
The President also pointed out numerous times that the MSM (Main Stream Media) reports only on a made up Russia conspiracy story and ignores these accomplishments. These actions are making the majority of Americans aware of the tremendous bias and falsehoods emanating from the media in the US and abroad. This too is another major Trump accomplishment.
And let’s not forget that the President unloaded on CNN with arguably the greatest tweet by any man ever in early July –
In Summary
President Trump is doing all he can for the American people and as a result the economy is on fire with the stock market reaching new all time highs once every four days! In nearly every economic category the US economy is improving under President Trump. In addition, President Trump has implemented numerous executive actions that he promised he would do when running for office. The US is in much better shape in only six months. Americans have hope again due to the real changes this President instituted from the economy to immigration.
President Trump’s accomplishments are nothing short of historic. But as the president likes to say, at this White House that’s just what we call a good start. There is still much to do but President Trump is showing that he is doing all he can to Make America Great Again!
