No one, hopefully, knows at this time the outcome of the next US Presidential election.

 

I only think it can be fairly stated  the current POTUS has had an  incredibly astounding IMPACT.

 

I don't suggest a Positive one.  

 

 

 I believe never in the history of the USA has a president shown himself to be more petty or small minded.   RMN is not comparable.

My thoughts exactly, maybe a half-term president?

 

Bookies are giving odds of him still being president in Dec. 2019 of 57%, you could win more by betting on him winning the 2020 than him being in it!

The combined impact of all palms on faces would be nothing short of incredible.

Lets hope it's less than one full term

Yes, he's already packing the courts with mostly younger trumpist ideologues. He's consequential alright, whenever he goes away -- the SOONER the better. He's like Senator Joseph McCarthy on nuclear steroids.

A Split From Trump Indicates That Flynn Is Moving to Cooperate With Mueller

WASHINGTON — Lawyers for Michael T. Flynn, President Trump’s former national security adviser, notified the president’s legal team in recent days that they could no longer discuss the special counsel’s investigation, according to four people involved in the case, an indication that Mr. Flynn is cooperating with prosecutors or negotiating such a deal.

 

Mr. Flynn’s lawyers had been sharing information with Mr. Trump’s lawyers about the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, who is examining whether anyone around Mr. Trump was involved in Russian efforts to undermine Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

I have always liked and respected Dimon. As far as the headlines concerning the length of Trump’s presidency, that was one question as a part of a complex discussion and he gave his off-the-cuff opinion. Hardly headline worthy.

Has the Fed Chairman chimed in yet? It's important for those of us that have mortgaged our children's futures to the 401K Gods to know what the real leaders of our country think.

The people who voted for Trump are not ignorant- they are desperate. These are the people from the 'rust belt' states and the South who believe that Trump will bring back all those things they they believe took away high paying jobs;  that allowed gays to marry and people of color to move up in the work force; and allowed all the illegals  to come into the country.  Many of these people have lost jobs due to the financial collapse of 2008  and they are mad because no one really has helped them but  Clinton, Bush and Obama bailed out the banks and big business which caused the collapse. Some are bigots; homophobes and supporters of Neo Confederates and White Supremacists but most are just downright desperate and uninformed.

 

The people who voted for Trump have been lied to; sold a bill of  goods that Trump will bring back those good jobs and get rid of all the illegals which will open up the jobs to be filled by the real Americans. 

The real truth is that Trump doesn't care about any of these people or anyone else except his own narcissistic self. Just look at Trumps programs and what he is doing and has done-

 

1.   Pushing a useless border wall which will cost $20Billion....instead of using the money to actually help the poor and middle class. Prices will go up because no American will go out  to the fields and pick vegetables and live in migrant camps for minimum wage. No American is going to go into the processing plants and pluck chickens or work in construction labor for minimum wage.  All of these are backbreaking low paid jobs that will not be filled.  Consumers will end paying more when  large supermarkets import vegetables; poultry and meat because they can't find Americans to work these jobs.

2.  Healthcare bill-  Trump promised to get rid of Obamacare and replace it with something better- a complete lie- what he tried to replace it with was a type of healthcare that will be inadequate; certainly not universal; and push almost 20 Million people off the healthcare roles. The very people who voted for him will be the ones to suffer the most.

3.  Tax Relief- another complete fabrication from the great liar in chief-  the current tax bill under review and supported by Trump- will actually raise the taxes of the poor and middle class in the long run; get rid of popular and needed deductions; and provide huge relief to the wealthy. Again- the poor and middle class will be robbed to pay for the rich.

4.  Defense Budget-  instead of decreasing the already largest  defense budget in the World he upped the budget by almost $70 Billion because he has managed to create a war footing with NKorea; increased US military on the ground in the Middle East; and is trying to scuttle a signed agreement with Iran. Just think how much healthcare  that  $70 billion would have bought.

 

However, even though all the above is true- Trump supporters refuse to believe it- simply because Trump and his henchmen have dreamed up the term 'fake news'.  It's almost as if he believes he can lie often enough and people will believe the lie and when every responsible news outlet in the World points out the lie or misinformation they are labelled as fake news. Wake Trump supporters before this man destroys America/

 

It would be nice if Donald Trump actually had a plan to make America Great Again- but after almost a year the only thing Trump has done is demeaned the office of the Presidency by using coarse and insulting language; angered many of America's allies; enriched himself and his cronies; and brought the World closer to a nuclear war.  But go ahead and believe him along with Santa Clause; the Easter Bunny; and the Tooth Fairy. There is more of a chance of Santa Claus coming down your chimney with presents than Donald Trump assisting you with anything,

1. The migrant worker's ,bring them in legally. Pay them a decent wage. Send them home when done. 

2. Google "who to believe about obamacare" and then pick your source, according to your liberal or conservative narrative .

3."We have learned here at FactCheck.org that it is rarely possible to definitively settle arguments between competing economists. But we can say Mnuchin stretches the facts when he says “most economists” share his view".

http://www.factcheck.org/2017/09/benefits-corporate-tax-cut/

Here again pick your narrative. 

 

4. It wasn't President Trump who upped the budget.And again, conservative or liberal narrative,pick one !

http://edition.cnn.com/2017/06/22/politics/congress-trump-defense-budget/index.html

 

5. You conclude by stating  "Wake Trump supporters before this man destroys America/"

 

Did you honestly think bringing change was going to be accepted by the status quo?

President Trump's  agenda has been obstructed, starting well before Nov 8th 2016, when  America voted for change.Mr. Trump  won with the “closet partisans" voters or independent voters..Those people sitting on the fence were won over by the message and not by the messenger. 

You talk of lies and hatred and belittle American's for voting for Mr.Trump when you say "Some are bigots; homophobes and supporters of Neo Confederates and White Supremacists but most are just downright desperate and uninformed".

 

My country was divided well before President Trump announced his intentions for running. Yes we are desperate .As far as uninformed, it depends on who is sourcing the narrative and where one get their news.

 

To sum it all up, November 9th 2020 will give a better understanding how American's think!

It's wasn't so much desperation as WHITELASH.

It wasn't just poor, uneducated whites, it was almost ALL WHITE wealth demographics, men and women.

The Nationalist's Delusion
 

Trump’s supporters backed a time-honored American political tradition, disavowing racism while promising to enact a broad agenda of discrimination.
...
These supporters will not change their minds, because this is what they always wanted: a president who embodies the rage they feel toward those they hate and fear, while reassuring them that that rage is nothing to be ashamed of.
