Everyone is conveniently forgetting that O entered office as the economy crashed. It was bullshit calling it a "Recession." It was a crash that actually happened on GW's watch and was left in O's lap. It cost us a lot of $$ to keep it from getting even worse. That's where a lot of that debt came from, if I recall.I hope you're wrong on just about everything you just said. Trump hasn't got the power to pull down everyone's standards. Only we can allow that to happen. The Repub/Dem scorched earth thing started a while ago and they are just continuing it now that Trump is in power. He will abuse his power only if he is allowed, and I think due to the pressure on Trump from the media, even the Republicans will have to respond and put the brakes on those efforts to be a private CEO instead of an elected President.Fareed Zakaria yesterday opened with a little speech about Trump's firing of Comey, the concern over Trump's motivation, and he ended with a phrase that really rang true: watch that we do not become so accustomed to this that we enter a new Presidential term after Trump's with "tattered standards and sunken expectations" for what a President should be. That, to me, is the saddest--and truest--part of Trump's election.What happens when Trump finally let's it sink in that he isn't popular, he lost the popular vote by 3 million votes, nobody likes him and everyone makes fun of him? He's got the mentality of an 8 year old and an 8 year old mind does not accept rejection well at all. There are reports from the staff at the White House already that this orange snowflake throws tantrums like a child.
What happens to a very insecure weirdo who finally passes a mirror and sees them-self how everyone else sees them?
That is a forgone conclusion. Presidents after this will be empowered to abuse their power and treat their opposition like garbage. Executive orders? The next president will wear out pens by the gross signing EO's.
People that do what orange-turd is doing destroys the normalcy in everything the touch. He's a weirdo and is crapping on every inch of the White House. WITH the Republicans help. I can tell you the next time the Democrats have power they are going to go scorched Earth and get rid of or tear down every single thing conservatives hold dear. This is the world Republicans and Trump have created. And that day will come sooner than later.
If one thing can come out of this Presidency, I wish it would be legislation that any Presidential candidate must have served in public office in some capacity prior to running. Politics ain't as easy as it may appear. And I hope the public learns the obvious indicators of a flaming narcissist. All that "I'm great and I'm always right" comes from deep insecurities, which are becoming obvious. It's too late now, but at least we should be able to recognize it the next time. It is hogwash that "all politicians are narcissists." They may have big egos, but that is NOT the same thing as being a narcissist. In my lifetime, I have never seen another like Trump. Nixon was thin skinned and paranoid, but even he wasn't a narcissist.
The two worst were O and W. Those two lied this country into perpetual wars, 20 trillion in debt, lied to get policy passed, etc.
Not 9 trillion worth. O left trump foreign policy debacles worldwide, an additional 9 trillion in debt, and domestic policy that is costing the US trillions. The housing crash pales in comparison to what O just left trump.
