The (Semi) Official Trump Election/Inauguration thread...

[Alpo]

I think you over-estimate the willingness of business to once again re-enter the morass of health care. More likely, these businesses will provide an allowance for health care or provide a self-funded employee health account. Look for health plans to go the way of pension plans: something that the prior generation of employees had that are no longer available.

Did I call him incompetent? Oh no, I think he's quite competent when it comes to accomplishing his personal goals. The problem is I don't think his personal goals reconcile with what's best for Americans.
America has a bad opinion of Goldman Sachs, right? Trump exploited that distrust and vilified his opponents by implying connections. After he's elected, he picks 5 of their employees. That's not cause for concern? Are do we explain it away as Trump just picked the "good" ones. Or Exxon CEO he picked for Secretary of State. The largest deal in the history of the WORLD, between Exxon and Russia, was prevented by US sanctions, and somehow the Exxon guy ends up in the perfect position to make that deal go away. Is that just a coincidence? Since the Bush administration, Russia has been terrorizing various parts of the world, and yet Trump refuses to speak ill of Russia. None of this stuff concerns you? You don't wonder why this is happening the way it is?

Working for the government they are working for us. They are taking a pay loss to serve. What's wrong with it? I'd rather have bloodsuckers on our side rather than *******

still anything out of government control is a good thing

 

[Alpo]

No. That is the problem with didactic tropes. They may sound good (to certain audiences) but rarely make sense in the real world.

Good for you. I'd give almost anything to be able to talk to my dad one more time.

Trump: Lewis should help me work on inner cities | TheHill

Be interesting to see if Mr Lewis could be part of the solution vs part of the problem for a change?

So lewis opened his mouth that Trump was "not legitimate" and Trump is just supposed to shut up?

That might have worked with a weakling like Bush......

John Lewis's comments were out of line. He shouldn't have made that comment. This is one of the few time that I'm ok with Trump criticizing someone. Lewis started it, and being that he is a politician capable of having a say in Trump's policies, Trump is within his rights to respond.

 

[bwframe]

I'm sure Lewis is a bigger man than that, but the dems are attempting a strategy. It's a poor one, but they don't have much to work with.

Yup.

Kut, You speak of concerns for what's best for Americans. Then you offer a vague paragraph of worries about what might happen including peace and free trade.

The optimist sees actual accomplishments such as Trump retaining American industry and jobs even while we are still on Obamma's watch.

Seems to me that industry, jobs, peace, and trade are good for Americans. Why do you have a different view?
