Trump’s inability to make policy has prompted the IMF to cut its economic forecasts

I honestly believe the pseudo-one-party thing is a problem.
And I'll admit that at election time, I thought there was about a 20% chance he might do something in that regard.

Once elected though, he violated basically everything he said during the campaign...that he'd get professional and stop tweeting and not be so crazy and undignified, that he'd win nonstop (muslim hate ban), the wall, Michael Flynn, wiertapping tweet, etc., etc. He lost all my confidence by around week 3, and I didn't have a lot to begin with.

No, he's the wrong guy for job, sorry. Ross Perot might have shaken things up, he knows his head from his ass.

No outside reformer will be accepted by the corrupt washington establishment

Trump really wants to drain the swamp and I thnk 80% of the public want the swamp drained

But many object to trump's style and are missing a chance for real change in washington

I agree, yet most have already served as long as Trump can hope to. The main game of congress critters is to do as little as possible other than to increase the funding of everything without raising taxes - see the national debt.

Shhh...now that the GOP is in charge, the national debt is no longer a topic of conversation. Never mind the GOP had the Congress for 6 of Obamas years, and who writes the checks?

We have two parties - the party for a bigger federal government and the party for a huge federal government. The problem is that the federal government grows every year no matter what.

It is not up to the POTUS to change the nature of congress critters. Trump has no ability to change how congress critters behave no matter what he tweets or how he rants at rallies of his faithful.

Trump’s inability to make policy has prompted the IMF to cut its economic forecasts for the US



Trump promised 25 million new American jobs and a US economy powering ahead with a 3-6% annual growth rate. Not gonna happen. Other G20 nations will gladly pick up the slack.

Additional: IMF cuts US growth as Trump factor fades

It's not surprising that the IMF is saying such things. After all, they are proponents of the "global economy". Trump's desire to "MAGA" is a threat to that global economy and to those who control it. So...they spin and predict while Trump calmly goes about the business of working for the US economy.

The NAFTA renegotiations are happening next month. Things are changing whether those globalists like it or not.

Until you define drain the swamp, or require Trump to do so, nothing will occur.
This was a criticism of Trump all through the campaign, he talked a big game, and never provided details.

Drain the swamp is a generic term

I don't know how far trump could have gone or in what direction if the phony russia collusion investigation had not so fully entangled him.

But its really hurting him and thats why the slimy republicans and democrat swamp creatures are going to keep it up

You along with everyone else in washington and the liberal media forget that trump is acting on behalf of millions of voters who elected him

He doesn't have to do it all by himself

But it would help if the whiny fence sitters and undisclosed fallen republcans and libertarians would get off their asses and join the fight

Right, a buzz word to get you to vote for him, to do something that was really just a generic word, not a plan of any kind, no details or ideas of how to get from point A to point B. And you're surprised he's still at point A?

One day you'll look back and realize Trump was King Slime.

Oh...the swamp knows exactly what he is talking about...even if the liberal useful idiots don't. Why do you think they are opposing him so vehemently?

Conspiracy theory 101. Only people in the know, really know....those people. They know...

So no details whatsoever. Great plan, nothing could possibly go wrong with a rhetorical talking point for a plan of action.

Who do you think makes the ****ing laws Mycroft? What's Trump gonna do, get blackmail dirt an all of them and force them all to resign? lol.

No. The more they oppose him, the more he'll blame them, the more people will realize the Uniparty doesn't care about them, the harder it is for them to get reelected.

In the meantime, Trump continues with his economic/security/foreign policies that end up increasing domestic manufacturing, job creation, wages and the end of ISIS. People will see this in their everyday lives.

However, the Uniparty won't give up easily and that's why we see so much of this witch hunt from all of them, including the Mainstream Media. Those guys are playing to keep their swamp.

What I am suggesting to all the grumpy "undisclosed" and "undecided" and libertarians and even the "slightly liberals" is that trump is not a chisiled in stone conservative like I am.

He is open for suggestion and could actually enact policies that people like you and others could approve of if you would give him a little support instead of being nothing but rabid attack dogs.

The corrupt washington political establshment is your enemy not donald trump

This is the peoples one chance of a lifetime to upset the applecart in washington of paid political consultants and carreer ppliticaians and fatcat doners who usually run the place

but the malconts are throwing that chance away
