    "If you like your current health care plan and M.D. you can keep them period."

    Pardon me but would you mind repeating what you said? You see I couldn't hear you over the constant and deafening roar of leftist hypocrisy.

    Nonsense. Sorry to burst your bubble but we are smarter, more open minded and practical than the libs will ever be. We are interested in him delivering the results on immigration, jobs, trade deals, foreign affairs and we will keep him accountable based on results. We could not care less how he delivers, as long as he does.

    I think if Trump hadn't sent the Press Secretary out to talk about this issue, and if Trump hadn't spent 10 of his 15 minute talk to the CIA discussing this issue, the press wouldn't be covering it so heavily. The crowd size my be irrelevant, but it's what the President wants to talk about, so here we are, talking about it. Crowd size is a provable fact and Trump is lying. Period. A big part of the Fourth Estate's job is to point out when leaders lie. So here we are.

    Dude, don't tell us what to expect LOL That all Obama's promises turned out to be lies and it was fine with his lib fans is actually beyond the point but if you want to hold your elected officials to these frankly absurd rigid literal, no deviations allowed standard - be my guest.

    As far as we are concerned, we need results by all means possible and your opinion on what we should or should not expect is frankly irrelevant.

    if he succeeds in solving the immigration problem, renegotiating trade deals in the US working people's favor etc I promise will be ecstatic regardless of how specifically the results are achieved. And btw we don't expect a 100% success either, we are realistic and pragmatic, as long as he is trying and moving the country in the right direction, he's got our unconditional backing and support.

    Except they didn't. There were 500,000 marchers and 800,000 inaugural attendees. The left is bad at math.

    You and I heard different promises and expect different results. To you he promised the wall and tariffs, to people who can see forest for the trees he promised manufacturing jobs and the end of illegal immigration and if he can achieve these goals without the wall or tariffs he will have exceeded expectation in our book. You'll of course attempt to claim that he failed.

    Spicer said that there were no ACTUAL NUMBERS
    Oh...but than he added it was the biggest inauguration in size and most watched...hmmmmmm:roflol:
    I assume you pulled those numbers out of the same ass that Spicer did

    he promised to bring back millions of lost manufacturing jobs.
    He will not but that won't bother Trump. He'll just go around praising himself for a job well done! In the meantime he'll accuse the media of keeping the truth from the people.

    he promised to kick out ALL illegals.
    He'll do better; He'll kick out everybody that does not confirm to his world-order. That means if you so much as ''smell'' un-American he'll have you deported. Probably means being anything other than blindingly white sees you go.

    he promised to destroy the Iran nuke deal.
    By destroying Iran with a nuke...

    he promised to move the US embassy to Jerusalem.
    First he needs to know where Jerusalem is actually located. (Let's start with the Middle East...)

    he promised to replace the ACA with a system that gives insurance to everyone.
    Trump was proud that the poorly educated voted for him, so I guess un-insured people will not bother him a bit.

    he promised to make sure same-sex marriage is protected.
    Trump needs protection when the LGTB community attack him for taking away their rights.

    You mean like when they showed the picture of the "empty crowd" hours before the ceremony started and compared it to Obamas peak time?

    Again with the psycological propaganda techniques. Using the word liberal as a weapon . This needs to be disallowed. What it does is stigmatize a very significant portion of Americans as stupid. It's the same thing as name calling it's flame baiting it needs to stop.

    Yes, because after all for the last eight years no leftist has been allowed to accuse a Right of Center poster of being a racist merely because he or she is a Right of Center poster . . . yeah . . . right! For the last eight years no leftist has been allowed to accuse Right of Center posters of (fill in the blank) because after all that's name calling and baiting and needs to stop . . . but it never . . . did . . . stop . . . EVER. Go figure.

    This, obviously is your own perception and prejudice, which I have absolutely no intention to debate :roflol:

    PS libs and progs are proud to call themselves libs and progs. See for yourself. www.dailykos.com

    Holly crap Ronstar, I didn't know you supported all of Trump's promises.

    Are you going to be an unhappy camper if he doesn't follow through with these promises ?

    What to expect from Trump ?

    Might want to start by reading Trump's book, "The Art of the Deal."

    Hillary purchased a couple barges loaded with fireworks to set off on the night of November 8th in NYC.

    Hillary didn't get a chance to set off those fireworks.

    President-elect Trump offered Hillary .5 cents on the dollar for those fireworks. When the deal was made, Trump got the fireworks for .50 cents on the dollar that Hillary paid for them.

    See how Trump makes deals ?

    With a free press America has a lot of different media outlets, expressing very different view points. It is telling that Trump is going to war with "the" media collectively. If so many different view points come to the same criticism, it lends credibility that the criticism is not based on a particular bias.

    Seems like Trump doesn't want his comments examined or questions asked of him by folks whose profession is to examine claims. Post-truth, seems like it will be around longer than just 2016.

    and once again Trump has the media ranting and raving about how much Trump thinks they suck, something which on one cares for except political wonks and the media of course. Add in that trust in the media is at a all time low and if the media were smart they would not have hour long panels on this when the public wants more info on medical insurance and taxes than whether Trump will send Anderson Cooper a invite to his 4th of July party

    Americans’ trust in news media sinks to all-time low

    Now one of these days the media might just catch on to the fact that Trumps plays them and their image like Clapton plays his guitar, but that day ain't today it looks llike

    Yes, it would be a point of contention if the fact that Your president is far too entangled in picking fights with the media than actually bringing about change.

    This new president is supposed to be different, supposed to be some sort of great hope for America and it's people. I do suppose that trying to force censorship on the media is new... Oh wait, so many are pointing out "Obama did it"

    Again, simply a waste of time...
