betsy Posted May 5, 2016 Report Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) His first 100 days will be a flurry of activities to implement most of the policies he'd promised. Here's an excerpt from a lengthy article how he says it would look: Shortly after the Nov. 8 election, President-elect Trump and his vice president — most likely a governor or member of Congress — would begin interviewing candidates for the open Supreme Court seat and quickly settle on a nominee in the mold of Justice Antonin Scalia. He would start “building a government based on relationships,” perhaps inviting the Republican leaders Paul D. Ryan and Mitch McConnell to escape the chilly Washington fall and schmooze at Mar-a-Lago over golf and two-pound lobsters. On Inauguration Day, he would go to a “beautiful” gala ball or two, but focus mostly on rescinding Obama executive orders on immigration and calling up corporate executives to threaten punitive measures if they shift jobs out of the United States. And by the end of his first 100 days as the nation’s 45th leader, the wall with Mexico would be designed, the immigration ban on Muslims would be in place, the audit of the Federal Reserve would be underway and plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act would be in motion. “As president, I’ll be working from the first day with my vice president and staff to make clear that America will be changing in major ways for the better,” Mr. Trump said in a telephone interview on Saturday. “We can’t afford to waste time. I want a vice president who will help me have a major impact quickly on Capitol Hill, and the message will be clear to the nation and to people abroad that the American government will be using its power differently.” “I know everyone won’t like everything I do, but I’m not running to be everyone’s favorite president,” Mr. Trump said. “Things are seriously wrong in this country. People are hurting, business is hurting. I’m running to move quickly to make big changes.” http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/05/us/politics/donald-trump-president.html?_r=0 "I know people aren’t sure right now what a President Trump will be like,” he said. “But things will be fine. I’m not running for president to make things unstable for the country.” ....and I think he will indeed do things that'll be best for the USA. Well I mean, when he becomes President, this guy will practically have everything - including the prestige of being President, right? If he's an egoist (as they say he is)........of course he'd want to go down in history not just as another US President........ ..........but as, the best President the USA had ever had! He'll most likely work on that. That will be his ultimate goal! Edited May 5, 2016 by betsy 1 2 Quote

betsy Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) As opposed to anticipation by a pro-Trump!? My anticipation though, is based on an interview with Trump, by a reputable newspaper....... .......unlike the fearful anticipation being expressed, and promoted, by those who are panicked at the very thought of Trump.

BubberMiley Posted May 5, 2016 Report Posted May 5, 2016 My anticipation though, is based on an interview with Trump, by a reputable newspaper.......Your anticipation is based on Trump trying to make himself seem sane now that he has the Republican nomination; his anticipation is based on Trump's earlier pronouncements of insanity when he was still trying to get the Republican base onside to win the nomination. So which Trump is it? You liked the earlier one, but this new one is the real one? Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet

So which Trump is it? You liked the earlier one, but this new one is the real one? Nothing changed with the message in that news article. Those promises he made are still on the agenda - and he's outlined them. Why shouldn't I anticipate what he's outlined in an interview with a reputable paper? Didn't anyone who voted for Trudeau anticipated what he promised, based on interviews? Big Guy uses what Trump had said, yes....but on the other hand....he gave a printed scenario based on what the writer IMAGINES how it's going to be like. Edited May 5, 2016 by betsy Quote

The problem is that the only real bone thrown to ordinary people in the west, in these "free trade" deals, is dirt cheap stuff. And China is just giving western consumers what they want. If we force China to truly allow the yuan to float, and to adopt labor and environmental regulations similar to the west, and to end export subsidies.... Then North Ameritards will howl with rage because their shoes cost $150 dollars again. Quote I question things because I am human. And call no one my father who's no closer than a stranger
bush_cheney2004 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Posted May 5, 2016 A President Trump will not be able to roll into the White House and just blow away existing legislation that he or his supporters disagree with, unlike what we have seen in another country familiar to forum members. Even Trump knows this, and it is a good thing. He will be able to influence enforcement actions, or lack thereof...and direct policy through executive order. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

He can immediately reverse the following: http://www.govtslaves.info/comprehensive-list-of-executive-orders-under-obama/ I love how the anti-Obama crowd like to talk about his executive orders, easily forgetting that he still trails George Bush in executive orders. Bush was 291 and Obama stands at 227 to date. We won't be able to make a direct comparison until the end of his term, but at the rate Obama has been signing them he will end up with about 250. Bush Sr. was much higher, 166 in 4 years which would be about 332 in an 8 year term. Reagan was 381. So yes, Republicans make just as many, or more, executive orders compared to Democrats. Quote

No big deal....every presidential election cycle somebody promises to do something....nothing special about Trump in that regard.

Is it just another election for American political parties? Yes...and that is a very biased viewpoint if one thinks it has only been "conservatives". For example, nothing that has transpired thus far in 2016 begins to approach what happened in the 1968 election cycle. If one is going to gawk at American politics as if their very lives depended on it, at least pay attention for the long haul to understand scope and context.

If you mean they are all Americans....yes. Should Trump win the presidency, he would still have far less unchecked power as a Canadian PM with a majority government. But that is OK for some people I guess. As for my biases, ya'll look the same from where I'm sitting. There's actually far more diversity in far greater quantity compared to where you sit.

Hal 9000 Posted May 6, 2016 Report Posted May 6, 2016 I think Trump is much smarter than people give him credit for. Quote The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so. - Ronald Reagan I have said that the Western world is just as violent as the Islamic world - Dialamah Europe seems to excel at fooling people to immigrate there from the ME only to chew them up and spit them back. - Eyeball Unfortunately our policies have contributed to retarding and limiting their (Muslim's) society's natural progression towards the same enlightened state we take for granted. - Eyeball
bush_cheney2004 Posted May 6, 2016 Report Posted May 6, 2016 Contrary to popular understanding, this is not Donald Trump's first presidential rodeo. Back in 1999 he actually predicted the future: Trump told reporters: "It's not so much the Reform Party, it's really the fact that I'd want to make that if I ran and spent a lot of money I could actually win, I could beat that Democrat-Republican apparatus." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reform_Party_presidential_primaries,_2000#Trump_enters_race https://usatelections.wordpress.com/2015/06/15/donald-trump-president-campaign/ Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
