in my opinion, coming across as not only sane but presidential.
Not sure what he's on, but make sure he has an uninterupted supply!!!!
He has stayed on topic without any "raving" and divisiveness.
Mabee I've misjudged the man -
Let's hope so.
We'll see.


There is not one thing different about Trump. That's who he is and he
was that same man on the campaign trial.
Not at ALL the same man as on the campaign trail. Not even close.


Horses for courses... He tied the Republican establishment in knots,
took the primary, and beat the Wonk Queen at her own game. Now he will
govern.


Most presidents have a honeymoon period to get their act together; he
has had nothing but animosity from the pundits, press, and two bit
'celebrities' since day one.


Why does anyone give credence to celebrities political viewpoints?


...insanity and idolatry.


I don't care what some famous person has to say. They're not any more
important than the rest of us.


You're right. Donald Trump is a perfect example.



One big difference is Trump is our President vs. celebrities hold no
position of authority.



Before he was President, he was a celebrity who parlayed
saying outrageous things into a popular television show


Before he was President, I didn't give him a second thought.

and notoriety on the news, and who inherited a lot of
money and has had mixed success in business, including
accusations of not paying vendors and welching on deals.


Show me a successful business that doesn't have that going on. Do you
know the details on those deals or why there is/was a dispute?

His habit of settling out of court makes it difficult
to find the facts on some of those accusations.


What's wrong with settling out of court?

Settling out of court can just mean you don't have the time to invest in
some lengthy process that demands your attention.

Those are not qualities that I really look for in a
President.


That's your prerogative.

I was looking to vote for a president, and it wasn't going to be
Hillary, either. It just turned out that I actually liked Trump.
