    Trump is a genius at keeping his name in front of the World.

    And the N.Koreans chickened first and blinked.

    And Gorsuch looks like a great SCOTUS nomination and appointment.

    I am looking forward to when R.B. Ginsberg finally croaks. Of course Heaven does not want her and Hell is afraid she will take over.

    Observations are the reasons for my selections.

    So far I like most of his foreign policy decisions (minus the weapon sales to Saudi Arabia) and his attempt to get China to deal with North Korea before a military option because necessary. I also likes that he lets the military run their own show instead of trying to micro-manage everything.

    Regarding the domestic stuff.............yeah not so much.

    Despite what many on here think, I can't stand him. The one thing I would have checked 10 months ago I can't even check.now because he's shown no direction or discipline.

    I liked the fact that he wasn't a politician and would try to run things like a business. Instead he's fallen all over himself trying to play politician. Then making things worse when he goes off on a Twitter storm. The one time I saw him do what I expected was when he sat down with GOP leadership and ripped them a new one over the healthcare failure. Too bad that attitude didn't become the norm and instead he went back to playing politician.

    He is a great salesman with a knack for a winning schtick. He has the skill set of a telemarketer who can talk fast enough and with such bravado that perspective clients who are not smart enough to be wary, will buy in and provide their debit number and social security and PIN number without pausing to breathe.

    I think much the same of him as well. Though it is refreshing to see an American president take a more aggressive stance on enemy nations and the Muslim extremists.

    How could anyone even say Nixon was worse then Carter, Bush Jr or Obama with a straight face is beyond me..

    Even a liberal has to admit Nixon was good, he made the EPA, signed title XI, wanted to give a guaranteed basic income to family's , he lowered the voting age, wanted health care for all ..

    Nixon ended the Vietnam war and established detente' with China. Therefore he had to go.

    Any president who bucks the military industry and "intelligence community" must be publicly destroyed if will not yield - what all the "RUSSIANS!" crap to stop Trump establishing detente' with Russia is about, assassinated (JFK stopped invasion of Cuba and was not going to do the Vietnam war - replaced with LBJ who sent 500,000 troops to Vietnam - and Robert Kennedy was going to end the Vietnam war), or run out of office like Nixon.

    Your 15 seconds of fame by your avatar was the Vietnam War and Nixon ended it so of course you hate Nixon. Trump will not go to war against Syria and Russia, so you hate him too. You and your messages are arm-chair warriorism is easy to understand in motive.

      He's a Winner.
    I chose all of these options......
    one of the reasons why I have such high expectations for President Trump is because Rabbi Judah ben Samuel over eight hundred years ago predicted that 1917, 1967 and 2017 would be Jubilee years.

    If..... intelligence / Intelligence first began in fundamental or nearly fundamental energy....... and if that intelligence planned and choreographed an infinite number of Big Bang events over eternity in the past....... and if that Intelligence has gotten into the production of reality films......(our lives)..... then it would seem strange that that Intelligence would not plan something big for Jubilee 2017 that would turn out to be up there with the Balfour Declaration and the recapturing of the Temple Mount by the Jewish people.

    Why not just wait until his term nears an end to decide if he is a success or a failure?
