    Trump has been President for almost 6 months now, and so far his presidency has been a failure.

    He has signed no major pieces of legislation.

    His travel ban is tied up in the courts and likely to be overturned.

    His tax reform plan hasn't even begun to be debated in the House or Senate, and already the CBO says it would raise the deficit by hundreds of billions of dollars.

    His ObamaCare repeal/replace plan is 1 vote away from total collapse in The Senate, and it violates his promise to protect and not cut Medicaid.

    He has yet to begin renegotiating NAFTA. He hasn't even mentioned the concept of renegotiating all of the other free trade deals we have with the international community.

    The only legislation he HAS signed, is a Continuing Budget Resolution, which kept Obama's spending in place with a little increase to account for CPI and cut out ALL of Trump's budget goals, like funding for his wall, defunding Planned Parenthood, and cuts to major agencies by 40%.

    This is not a good start. Not good at all.

    It's just a start. The Democrats lost control of all branches of the government. The progressive death train has been derailed. WINNING! :banana:

    America won November 8th, 2016. The progressive train is off the tracks. And the engineers are dismantling it in a temper tantrum.

    and yet the idea of just repealing Obamacare is dead in the water.

    this is a victory for Progressive politics.

    I thought the court let it through, at least partially.

    If you have new info, please provide a link.

    And how do you know they will not decide in Trump's favor? They let it through "partially" 9-0.

    Then again, the first six month's of the North's war of aggression against the South was a failure, too.

    He seated a conservative judge on SCOTUS. Will probably pick another one... maybe two. If he does NOTHING else, that will be enough to save us from sliding into that liberal cesspool for decades to come.

    Guess it depends on how one defines 'success'

    It wouldn't be an expansion! The law already gives the President broad powers on this issue.

    Besides, it's only a temporary ban. "We'll leave it in place until we decide" is essentially a decision in Trumps favor!

    If you think the failure of the RP Congress to repeal ObamaCare will hurt Trump you need to think again. ;-)

    Obama promised to get immigration 'reform' in his first year of office, seven and half years ago. Obama also promised to close Gitmo on his first day. You sure you want to talk about failed presidents?

    Don't worry brother. The blue wave is coming in 2018, and then you can impeach trump and throw him in jail for whatever crimes the establishment can dream up. I'm sure every poll will show every democrat winning everywhere.

    How will you celebrate the blue wave 2018?

    Trump has killed TPP, and the Paris Accords. He's already put one Supreme Court judge on the bench, and likely one more, if Kennedy retires. That means the USSC will protect the American public from the progressive/Marxist agenda for a decade or so. If his cease fire, and cooperation with the Russians holds up in Syria, along with the economy from not tanking, Trump will be a somewhat successful president.
