As an Independent, I didn't vote for Donald Trump, and he's not off to a good start. His travel bans are overturned by the courts, cities and states are setting up sanctuary areas in defiance of his immigration policy's, his attempt to repeal and replace Obamacare was a failure despite the GOP controlling both houses of Congress, the Senate had to change it's own rules just to get his supreme court pick approved, the wall along the Mexican boarder is becoming a distant memory, his job approval numbers are lousy, and the airbase in Syria he just attacked was back in operation 48 hours after he spent 100 million dollars on cruise missiles attacking it. Not a pretty report card! However....there is now some good news: "The Donald" has finally realized he cannot bully and intimidate people in order to get his way like he did in the business world. Governing involves building relationship's with members of both party's, and giving each at least some of what they want in order to get legislation passed. That's the way it's been done in America for over 200 years, and that's the way it will be done long after "The Donald" is gone. Perhaps the rise of H.R. McMaster, Jared Kushner, and Ivanka Trump, and the demotion of Bannon are responsible for this. Whatever the reason, let us give The Donald some credit here. He got off to a pretty rocky start, but he seems to be on a better path. Let's hope it continues....
