    IMO none of that improved under Obama. All we got was enough unemployment benefits to demotivate and make obsolete half the workforce.

    While you gripe and moan about each other's politicians, all politicians are taking us all to the cleaners! They are running us down the road to destruction and you can't see it through your partisan blindness!

    Trump is a tyrant, a moron, and a fool.

    He won't last 2 years

    Yes. The recovery in manufacturing production was a great success.

    But, the recovery in manufacturing employment hasn't been so successful.

    I pointed out reasons for that.

    The catch is, Trump is very clearly NOT interested in those reasons, and his Goldman Sachs friends and his "I hate workers"/"let's smash collective bargaining" Secretary of Labor picks and his "slow down trade" direction do not offer rust belt manufacturing workers any future - near term OR long term.

    Unfortunately, those who got suckered by the cheap, easy and FAKE solutions won that particular issue - for now.

    Maybe if you pretend to be Trump for a few minutes while watching a twisted newscast you might see it--or maybe you simply are too "tone deaf"....

    Fine reward for a man courageous enough to stand up to the people that have been raping the country and undermining our independence. What he is doing is downright dangerous. He's putting his life on the line for you fools.

    If all else fails the work week can always be shortened.

    I have an idea: everyday, we should all tweet a message of encouragement to our president. I'm appalled at the low-life and grotesque tweets that come from the organized and scripted alt-left.

    At some point, this drivel being spouted by the left has to subside. If it continues on for too long, people will begin to use their vacation days to start protesting in favor of the President's actions. At that point, the meltdown on the left will be complete.

    You are asking for facts from the factless crowd. It'll be interesting to see what, if anything, is produced in response.

    Amen!

    So do I. And more and more each day.

    Says the guy who at different stages of the campaign season was probably saying "Trump will never run", "Trump will never win the GOP nomination", "Trump will never win the election", "Trump will never be sworn in". Please continue with the brilliant prognostications...

    Now that would be a good thing. It'll never happen, but it would be a good thing.

    Bullying is one thing. But the man has a job to do, already made difficult by Obomba's & Hiltery's false propaganda and sabotage. I assume you hate your country and would like to see it destroyed. I say that because you support the Fascists and protest the man who is trying to clean of the swamp of treachery.



    Well said!

    Speaking of jobs being exported, perhaps you could ask your highly principled president when, exactly, he intends to stop having his Trump clothing line made in India, China and Mexico and elsewhere. Can't have your glorious leader being labelled a two-faced hypocrite, can we?

    He does it constantly!!!!! He did it several times on Thursday. Indeed, that was cental to his exchange over his electoral vote claim, which is something he obviously made up. I suppose you didnt watch the part where a reporter asked him about Anti Sematism, and his response, in which he attacked the questioner and accused him of asking a "dishonest" question.

    What false propoganda would that be? I keep asking Trumpsters this, and I either never get an answer, or I get jibberish or lies.

    I don't see where Obama or Clinton have anything to do with the Trump show right now.

    Trump is a thin skinned little bully of a man, used to barking orders and boasting. That's one thing when all you are doing is trying to con investors and running a privately held family business. it's something entirely different when you are running a country.

    Trump has never had to deal with people who he can't control or bully. He has never been answerable to anyone either. He clearly has no respect for the judicial system or any understanding of what purpose it serves. To him, it was always a weapon to be used against his critics and creditors.

    Evidently, you appear to think that the only posture that denotes loyalty is blind acquiesence to your new Furher's edicts, and a nodding posture to anything he says.

    I don't live in that country, and neither do most Americans.

    When the emporor has no clothes, we point it out, and will continue to do so.

    I think he gets irritated with the mischievous and scaremongering questions, and makes such throw-away remarks so he can move on. I'd do the same if I were in his shoes.

    This issue is really, really splitting America. If DT is unseated in some way I shudder to think what would happen.

    And what purpose would that serve? It certainly isn't working for Trump. Not when a White House Press Corp reporter calls him out right in front of everyone on television. That's something that reporters seldom ever do. I can't think of any instance like that since the Nixon Administration.

    Now that it has happened, I expect it to become a regular occurance.

    Part of Trump's act is to spew out an entire litany of false statements like his electoral vote claim, in the expectation that most of the media will just ignore them. His strategy is to promote his image to his uncritical supporters. He uses this kind of blustery white lie to do it. He has been doing this all his life, and I don't expect him to stop doing it either.

    But now, he'll be called out on it every time.

    To people who pay attention, this kind of blustering and posture is a sign of weakness. But Trumpsters respond well to chest beating.

    The emperor has no clothes, and even pool reporters are starting to call him out on it.

    Nothing would happen. Mike Pence would become President.

    We'll see a lot of posturing, chest thumping and keyboard courage from the far right. And that's about it.

    The same folks who bought silly claims like "Two Million Bikers Coming to Washington to Maintain order at the Inauguration" will go on beating their chests and bellowing at their AM radios.

    It's amazing how many Americans crave a dictator, a despot, an authoritarian figure who can make all the rules. But the Illegitimate One was elected by a minority...and many of them now have sticker shock at what they have created.

    Take your pick. There's enough of it!

    Who cares? The bottom line is he's your president, voted by the people, sworn in, and has his bed just how he wants it. If you have a beef with Democratic process & principles you can buy a one-way ticket to Pyongyang ....... and give our regards to Joe Dresnok.

    Well--if you think the Dems could do better with the issues Trump is trying to tackle, go ahead and reorganize the Democrat party so it becomes clear it is no longer the party of the elites and the welfare class, and bring in whoever you think can do a better job as President.

    Right now Trump has the slot, thanks to the progressive Marxist takeover of the Democrats and their abandonment of the US and its working people. He is taking a shot. He may not have all the answers, but at least he is trying, which is more than we would have seen otherwise. In the meantime, by the way, he is reorganizing the Republican party to be more representative.

    Trump may be an imperfect tool, but he is shaped to the task and is willing to try--something we have not seen for a long time, and we got tired of waiting for a perfect leader. What we now expect is that the rest of you get out of the way and let him take a shot at beginning to turn things around so this country can be preserved and not turned into some sort of UN population turnover experiment.

    IMO anyone that thinks Trump can totally ignore the wants of the shadow power structure in this country single-handed is a fool. Of course he will have to cooperate with them. We don't expect a 180 degree turn--just some visible effort on behalf of the American worker and the independent self sufficiency of the US.

    Many of us do not see why we should overload our country with a cultural group that supports takeover by overpopulation and terror by their genetically inbred misfits. For years we've been told to control our own numbers for the good of the planet even while our underclass has been rewarded for irresponsible reproduction. Why is that? What crazy cabal is in charge, and to what end?
    Annihilation?

    The old Establishment has no clothes, and you are a member of it.

    Possibly because you lack the ability to think at all?

    I don't hate the little people that are being exploited in foreign countries. I realize they are desperate and need the work. It would be cruel to abruptly eliminate their jobs. We just need a decent evolution back to the US for domestic goods.

    ...Or are you saying our President should still be running his own private businesses, so you can criticize that as well?

    I cant quite put my finger on it, but there might be an example or two here as to why Trump might be a little (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)y ;)
