For a guy who said he wouldn't work with lobbyists and who is now playing nice with the politicians he so insulted and creamed over in the primaries. Do you think Trump is doing a good job at draining the swamp, or is he just giving the little guys a leg up?

I think people who are mad he won are going to whine no matter what he does.
 
Too soon to tell. The swamp has to be drained to somewhere, and it takes a while to get the pipe in place to reach California, Massachusetts, and New York.
 
I guess you could say he will. He will do it by hiring department heads who will seek to shrink their departments by attrition. He also is going to try (unsuccessfully, I fear) to stop the swinging door between government and the companies they regulate. I think Bill Clinton tried that. Some Prez did.

But I feel Trump is different. I really believe he intends to do what he says, and is not going to allow the civilian bureaucracy gaslight his people.

Trump is a different kind of critter delivered to the country just in time.

Probably depends on your perspective.

Could they be directing the question to those that supported trump by chance, to see whether they are satisfied so far with that promise?

well you didn't support Trump. When I see his hard core supporters complaining, then I guess we will inquire

I wonder why his daughter sat in on a meeting with the Prime Minister of Japan.

I'm not the one asking the question or to whom it was directed to, did I say anything on that, I think not.
I'm the one informing you who the question is probably directed towards, because your reply seems to point out that you had not considered that.

Shut up.
Keep that crap for the conversation in the lunchroom at the sh*thole you work in.
 
Trump is pushing change fast.

We will have to wait to see what the result will be, but I am satisfied for now.
 
Trump is a blowhard. He said any thing to get elected. One and done. He's a joke and an embarrassment to our country!!!!!!!!!!
 
Excuse Me?

Could you be implying that Trump based part of his campaign on a false premise?

The Hillary faithful cannot get over the fact that the lying bitch didn't win. No matter what Trump does, you are going to complain about it

Too soon to tell. Try again in about six months.
 
Hey turtle man. YOUR boy WILL go down as the worst president of all time. One and done. Worse than 43. Enjoy the show. He's nothing, but a bigot, thief, womanizer and massive liar just to name a few. Hillary is gone. Old news. Your BOY will be under the microscope from here on out. He had better walk the straight and narrow. Impeachment is just over the horizon!

You seem rather agitated. I guess we will see what happens.
 
Senator Jack said:
Not at all. Not at all. The country is already seeing what he's about. One and done!

Yeah yeah. we heard he cannot win the primary. We heard that Hillary had it all wrapped up. Me, I will wait and see rather than buy into the nonsense of people who are trying to convince themselves that Hillary was so great

That didn't answer my question. As a Trump supporter, how do you like all these choices and all the insiders he is meeting with?

I couldn't care less. You have to remember. I cannot stand hillary. Long before Trump was the nominee, I said I would vote for Road Kill over Hillary. I supported Trump in the sense that I hoped he would beat her and she would lose. I wasn't hoping he would pick this or that for his inner circle. I think he's going to have to have some insiders to set up an administration. I didn't vote for him because he promised (which I don't recall hearing) no insiders. What I cared about was Hillary losing. She did, I am happy.
