Title: The Best Ccampaign, Election and Inauguration ever Post by Sprintcyclist on Feb 2nd, 2017 at 1:08pm That was the best Election and Inauguration ever. Trump campaigned his socks off. The media was hard biased against him. They never gave him a chance. Hillary put in a poor performance, relying on her deeply flawed experience and getting the female vote. |

All true. Trump did it his way right from the start. He bowed to nobody.
Unfortunately, this will probably undo him in the end. Under the constitution, the job of a president is to carry out the will of Congress. A president must work with others. We'll see if Trump changes the role of president. If he's too inflexible, his decisions will just be changed in the Supreme Court. Mind you, they once said this about the role of German Chancelor too. Look what happened in 1933. |

To be honest....I've never seen such a display of celebration in America before. It was all different this time. |

It is different, but 49% of Americans want Trump gone. Trump has the highest negative-approval ratings of all newly-elected presidents. His approval ratings match Nixon's during Watergate. Trump can't govern a country effectively with such a population against him. The Nixon/Vietnam period showed this too. |

It will be good when we start getting objective measurements of Trump rather than best or worst ever.

You cannot silence the media and put them offside with every utterance..media can and will make you or destroy you as a Politician..he doesn't get this,which is good, just means he will be gone sooner rather than later. I have done a little youtubing on Trump..his early day stuff, I don't believe he was then unfit to Govern then, but that doesn't tell you his state of mind now.. the best I can give him now is he is deluded and ignorant and largely out of touch with with world affairs and diplomatic relations in general... he is so out of touch and it would seem willfully ignorant, the man who thinks he knows everything, thinks has nothing to learn , this makes him dangerous, to all of us. |

Don't worry.
His approval ratings will take off soon once the economy begins to improve. Higher wages - more jobs. Its the economy - stupid! |

Before Trump came onto the scene....I wasn't interested in American ANYTHING let alone American politics. Now....BECAUSE of Trump....I can't get enough of American politics. He's made America well...more interesting. He's very charismatic and has an Idontgiveashit attitude towards anyone trying to thwart the platform of promises he was elected on. I kinda admire the guy. He has guts. But ....it's early days. |

Trump spent $932M and won 306 electoral votes.
Hillary spent $1400M and won 232 votes. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/2016-election/campaign-finance/ She had the unstinting support of the entire obama administration, the media, the big end of town and the clinton foundation. And she lost badly. |
