He's a con man and he conned just enough uneducated people to win. Oh, how he loves the uneducated, a direct quote from President Bonkers.

What's the most amazing is how people in this country lost their brains when a black man become president.

Sad!!!
and after he suggested that cops brutalize people in his speech to Long Island law enforcement Suffolk County PD and the IACP have posted tweets distancing themselves from his remarks

Honestly?

You must surely know we all look at this and see you trying to convince yourself everything is great.

Gertrude would see straight through your play acting..

Very deep down in them...they don't believe it, but like an abusive wife they keep denying reality, Nobody wants to admit to themselves they been duped, they been played like an idiot, they been wrong.

Trump own clothing line is made in china and and they still call him "America's first"

The only thing Trump cares about is himself. He doesn't care about others, he doesn't care about the country, he cares about TRUMP ONLY.

House approves spending bill with funds for Trump's border wall | TheHill
Here's those 40 bills he signed- which were the ones that he ran on and that he actively helped get passed?

President Donald Trump has signed 40 bills into law. Here's what they do - CNNPolitics.com

Stock market and unemployment are merely continuing on the trajectories already established before he took office.

I have no idea what GOP wins all contests means - do you mean that they managed to hold by smaller margins seats in deep red districts that were vacated?

And the house approved money for the wall - the wall that he swore Mexico was going to pay for? That wall, the one that now taxpayers are supposed to foot the bill for? Plus you might recall that the House passed ACA repeal and replace, remind me again where things stand with that? Oh, that's right, dead in the water. And I'm so sure that the GOP establishment he's working so hard to alienate will be only too thrilled to budget for the wall that Mexico was supposed to pay for.....

More likely than not, this will come back to haunt him though, and there are already signs of that with the Senate's none too subtle message that he won't get another AG any time soon if he fires Sessions. This isn't a Congress that is going to protect him from the consequences of the special investigation if serious consequences are warranted.
Trump is not likely to get any more nominees confirmed, for anything. If he fires Sessions, then Rosenstein will become the acting AG for the duration.

Well, the hostile takeover of the Republican Party seems to be falling apart as Trump kicks folks to the curb who supported him when he needed it. Of course, that's what he has always done. If he shows no loyalty, why would anyone be loyal to him? I think Comey and Priebus and Sessions and Spicer and the rest have plenty to talk about and won't mind sharing. Trump has never learned the lesson of the Godfather, Michael Corleone: "...keep your friends close but your enemies closer." The long knives will be coming out soon in the GOP but not in the way Trump hoped. The big GOP money donors have probably seen enough of Trump.

their boy...jed bush, don't make it past the first round..then they were pushing cruz, who had a few good points until he went full evangelical

It will be interesting to see what happens when Trump gets his face rubbed in the fact that he needs Congress..but Congress does not need him.

ICE Director Promises Stronger Crackdown In Sanctuary Cities « CBS San Francisco

Trump announces $10 billion Foxconn plant in Wisconsin

Greatest president in my lifetime and its not even close
Note the theme:

House approves.....House votes to...House cracks down on...ICE Director promises...

All this means NOTHING!

Where's the law? Where's the enforcement?

A House vote means nothing by itself--and the promises of of the ICE director mean even less.

And as for the 'announcement' by Trump?? Worth the paper it's not printed on. Even if the plant is built..Trump had nothing to do with it.

It seems that you are confused into thinking that rhetoric is enforceable law..and it's not.
