    going to take a bit for a man like that to swallow his pride. like when obama first got elected because he was going to pull ALL the troops from the hell zone. he sat down with ol mr. bush and sent more once he got up to speed. i still laugh about that disaster.

    ^^^ I guess he's just so accustomed to getting his way...but now he must learn to compromise and work with the courts and other branches of government...probably hard for him to accept. He'll be given a short time because of the learning curve but then again, his honeymoon may have a short shelf life.

    If it takes strong arming congress to write new laws, he's gonna win this fight and then push to make federal judges tow the constitutional line. If you understand the crowd he's playing too, this rationale makes sense.

    Our population is too high anyway, shit down allnimmigration. Govt should be able to cancel, revoke or rescind all visas. These are the same terms all my visas to other countries are issued with.

    ...lol, you meant "shut down all immigration", right?

    ...anyway, Trump may very well eventually get his way on this issue but it will be quite a battle. But I do agree that we've got more than enough people already in this country. Our founding fathers originally wrote immigration language into the Constitution when the USA was a fledgling and ever expanding country...but the days of "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses..." should no longer apply in today's version of our country. And for people to assert that "the Statue of Liberty is weeping" is a bit over the top, IMO.

    ...I mean, logically, how can we justify subsidizing the true unemployment rate and the number of deadbeats taking advantage of the welfare system while at the same time allowing people from other countries to enter at will and take some of the very jobs that should instead be filled by the freeloading deadbeats that are living off government cheese only because they're too sorry to work.

    ...if it were up to me, unless you are too old or otherwise physically unable to work, you would not be eligible for government cheese unless you were willing to do something in return for it...no, if I were POTUS and you are receiving government aid, you will not be sitting on your ass at home because I will find something for you to do,...you may not like the job I give you but you WILL work.


    ...But I just think Trump should/could have found a way to handle it differently.

    Even extreme vetting can fail sometimes.

    Trump followers will really regret Bannon. They did not vote for disruption. Let's see how
    the working class improves in this administration. Whatever is left of the middle class will soon
    be dissolved if Bannon has his way.

    ...^^^ pretty much the way I see things unfolding. And what we need right now is for Trump to find a way to unify this country because right now the US is as divided as it's ever been.

    Trump's bs with Nordstrom's over Ivanka's Chinese women's wear line, is utter bs, nonsense for a potus to poke his nose in, where it doesn't belong. Not a potus like move, what does donald do that is potus like??? imo, there's a limit to re-setting the bar, but I don't even see a bar- not in this case, a pity to tarnish this office- by pandering with issues that are a waste of any potus time, when real issues loom...

    trump's making enemies faster than he can make friends, gonna' see his list of enemies explode. At this rate he won't last long enough to think of a 2nd term....just thinking the obvious...

    ...I really don't know why Trump has waited till now to complain about his Daughter's clothing line being dropped considering that she was informed about it several days ago.
    ...in fact, as POTUS he should not even be getting involved with it at all.

    I thought the same thing, when I heard the garblenews, then felt as ridiculous mentioning this.....5 or so days later.

    for one who openly despises the press, he's got to get his share of headlines, even if it's shit quicksand...

    Twitter will be the smoking gun "gate" of the 45th potus. Probably more a result of a man crush relationship with Putin...

    ^^^oddly enough, since Trump's tweet bashing of Nordstrom the company's stock has actually risen a bit.

    ^^^^
    lol, I noticed that,... guess stockholders see a reduction in waste, with the Ivanka line, more profit, less loss...! How would Trump run his own company with a product line tanking??? He's a hypocrite alright, another gator in the swamp...

    ...another huge setback for Trump's immigration ban.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...526e70-ed47-11e6-9662-6eedf1627882_story.html


    ...but regardless, I suppose he'll still tweet more insults and pissing off the wrong people and make even more statements he cannot back up, which again does not help his case.

    ...We have a big mess on our hands. Even our court system it seems, is stubbornly bipartisan instead of simply doing what's best for the country. And now even if he takes this to the SC which is evenly split and is short one judge, Trump likely won't fare any better and the ruling will stand.
