Trump Agenda Already Happening

[Jac3510]

That was fast . . .

Mexico and Canada ready to renegotiate NAFTA trade deal

Schumer: TPP is dead

Democrats will work with Trump [on infrastructure and trade deals] (See this article as well)

Russia wants better relations with America after Trump victory

And, of course, the Obamacare repeal looks all but guaranteed (even allowing he keeps a few popular parts) and all the executive orders Obama signed setting regulations on climate change and especially the Iran deal literally go away on day one.

Should be an interesting first quarter of the year!

Still predicting a Hillary win?

[Jac3510]

I predicted a Trump win. If you're going to poke and correct me at least do it right.

Right, and in that post I said:

The only way for Trump to win is to somehow make himself minimally acceptable again (I don't see how that happens) while simultaneously making Clinton unacceptable.

The Comey comments did exactly that--make Clinton unacceptable, while Trump's extremely disciplined final two weeks (thanks to Conway--she literally took his twitter account away (didn't see THAT coming)) make him minimally acceptable. Then I said a few days later:

It's hard not to see how Clinton's case being reopened isn't a HUGE thing. . . . I have a very, very light nod towards a Trump victory, such that I wouldn't be surprised if he won at all, but nor would I be surprised at a Clinton victory at this point

And since YOU stated YOU were confident in my prophetic ability, I now expect you to give me the full respect of a prophet rather than continuing to insist on following the false prophet Cruz.

I'm not going to update the 2016 thread because 2016 is about over, but I'll say that I think that all of the above things are actually going to happen in 2017. Trump will get a very large infrastructure package. He'll offset it by a repatriation program (which means a major reduction in corporate tax rates). The stock market is going to LOVE Trump for that. TPP won't pass. NAFTA will be renegotiated. He'll appoint a solid, conservative SCOTUS judge immediately as well as undoing most of Obama's executive orders.

The variables I'm still looking at are the wall (it will be built, at least partially, but the whole thing? I'd be surprised) and how he's going to treat big banks. There's a lot of support for breaking them up on both sides of the isle, and pushing anti-trust policies would be consistent with his message. But don't know how that will go yet.

Most important prediction: Tebow still won't be playing professional football. Or baseball (at the major league level if you want to be pedantic).

[RickD]

I can't believe you voted for that racist, misogynist, pig, over the most experienced candidate ever to run for president.

Any man not voting for Hillary, is a misogynist. And you all should be ashamed of yourselves for not getting her elected.

And you will have nobody to blame but yourselves, when Trump's policies ruin this country's path to socialism.

[Jac3510]

We'll talk after you get in the kitchen and make me a sammich.

You know it's a big deal when Russia agrees to cooperate, but the DEMOCRATS?

[Jac3510]

It's consistent with their history. They were more interested in negotiating with Iran, a terrorist actor, than Republicans. And Hillary expressly called Republicans her enemy. No one should be surprised.

Not much choice, I guess. Time for the pumpkin to put his money where his mouth is and get us one of those legendary deals he claims he can make.

Schumer: TPP is dead

It was dead either way and Sanders deserves as much credit as Trump.

Democrats will work with Trump [on infrastructure and trade deals] (See this article as well)

Of course they will. The Democratic base wants infrastructure improvements and bipartisan cooperation so the Democrats will play ball, even if it means letting a racist pumpkin and a bunch of obstructionist ******** take the credit. By comparison, the Republicans couldn't work with Obama without exposing themselves to getting nailed from the right in the primaries. That's politics.

Russia wants better relations with America after Trump victory

Would Putin have worked as hard to get Trump elected if he didn't want him to be President?

And, of course, the Obamacare repeal looks all but guaranteed (even allowing he keeps a few popular parts) and all the executive orders Obama signed setting regulations on climate change and especially the Iran deal literally go away on day one.

Yeah, I love it when millions of the working poor lose their health insurance. Yay Trump!

Should be an interesting first quarter of the year!

I anticipate four years of white knuckles followed by a Democratic administration. Hopefully Trump won't bust things up as badly as Bush did.

Edit: Come on, profanity filter...

Ed,

Glad to see you back from making the rounds rioting protesting all the major cities.

[edwardmurphy]

You won't see me protesting. The kids have a point, but using the Electoral College to strip Trump of the Presidency - even if that's arguably what the EC is for - is a poor idea. The Democrats missed a chip shot, and now the Republicans get a shot at running things. I think the current situation is completely horrific and I'm irate about the FBI and the Russians playing such a big role in the outcome, but that's life. The conservatives (and the Kremlin, Alt Right, Neo Nazis, KKK, and so forth) got their guy elected, so now it's time for them to put up or shut up.

By the way, I sincerely hope that the decent, patriotic Republicans out there are as uncomfortable sharing the stage with the White supremacists and Neo Nazis as the rest of us are about having them up there, and I hope they have the courage to do something about it.

It's funny the Democrat conspiracies that are still believed. You do know Comey also had contact with Russia, it wasn't just Assange and Wikileaks taking their orders from them. Trump, thankfully WWIII will be avoided, because now Russia gets to run the Whitehouse too.

PS. We could say Trump loved Duke (KKK) by not immediately distancing himself from such, but Hillary then also loved Byrd (KKK) and Soros a Nazi lover who helped send his own Jewish people to death camps which he reminisces was one of the happiest times of his life. Soros is a lot more dangerous and evil.

[edwardmurphy]

It's funny that the CIA and the NSA say that Russia hacked the DNC the Clinton campaign and you categorize it as a "Democrat conspiracy."

So no comments about the White supremacists? Those guys are loving Trump. They say that his campaign allowed them to go mainstream. I imagine that the guy at InfoWars feels the same way. That seems like a legitimate concern to me. Then again, many here think that InfoWars and the National Enquirer are legitimate news sources and the New York Times is not, so maybe I'm wasting my breath.
