Perhaps cause Bannon is out, perhaps cause his poll numbers kept declining, but Trump is changing positions on many issues, and I like it. NATO, China, Syria, Russia/Putin all changing. Interesting to see, and regardless of my view of Trump, I am always glad to see our President make better decisions. Hopefully it continues.
 
I thought he was a puppet of Bannon and Putin? what happened to that narrative?

I never said either, but I think he was taking a bunch of advise from Bannon but he lost influence after so many decisions turned to shit. Personally, I really don't know at all if Trump has strong ties to Putin, or if some members of his administration do, or so mix, but I think there is enough fishy stuff that we need to get to the bottom of it.

Death, taxes and fishy stuff.
 
OTOH, women, gays still in the trump toilet. Just replaced gay Sec of Army with anti-gay activist, appointed another anti-gay activist to head civil rights division of HHS, signed bill passed 51-50 to take away women's health service.

Me too. I have not seen a bad one. I do get a chuckle watching the pinko pundits scramble though, when he does this week what they wanted last week.

Until America nominates an independent or libertarian, something has to give. It sucks, but it is what it is. We had 8 years of shit for some and blessings for others. Now those have switched

I'd say almost every decision has been rotten, until this week.

It's funny all around. Trump supporters, Abooooooout Face! March! Aboooooout Face! March!

Luckily, Republican voters don't have any problem with such inconsistency:

37 percent of Democrats back Trump’s missile strikes. In 2013, 38 percent of Democrats supported Obama’s plan.

In 2013, when Barack Obama was president, only 22 percent of Republicans supported the U.S. launching missile strikes against Syria in response to Bashar al-Assad using chemical weapons against civilians. 86 percent of Republicans support Donald Trump’s decision to launch strikes on Syria for the same reason.

Let us not forget the segregationist Jefferson Beauregard Session III. Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III traveled to the US-Mexico border, where he referred to immigrants as "that filth". When conditions in detention centers became a public scandal, rules were put in place for such things as basic hygiene, suicide prevention, protection against sexual assault and other basic human decencies. But Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, like his boss, is busy overturning everything put in place by the Kenyan Muslim socialist usurper. After all, if immigrants are not humans but "that filth" they don't need basic human decency. Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III has prioritized deportation of parents of American children, hospital patients, battered women, and small businesspeople. A case now getting some publicity is the deportation of a woman who has lived here 15 years, never been charged with a crime, mother of four American citizens, the youngest of whom has a seizure disorder requiring special attention, a devout Catholic active in her church. She checked in with ICE as usual and two days later was dragged off the street. Trump loves babies, but her four children are going to be left without a mother as legal appeals were turned down and an appeal from the archdiocese ignored. Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III has already announced his intention to bring back the "war on drugs", locking up low level users. Three guesses what color they are likely to be. He also wants to bring felony charges against undocumented immigrants; currently, immigration law violations are civil, not criminal. He wants to imprison people for years before deporting them, by making it a crime to "harbor" or "transport" undocumented immigrants, even members of one's own family. Another policy of the Kenyan Muslim socialist usurper that was overturned to Make America Great is the restriction on use of private prisons. They are notoriously worse than even the regular prisons. But the private prison industry donated heavily to the Trump campaign, since nothing makes America Great Again like a massive explosion in prison population. Oh yes, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III is a major shareholder in the private prison industry, so the more ways he can find to lock people up in private prisons the richer he gets.

Like his boss, for whom the presidency is just a way to get richer. The Secret Service is requited to stay in Trump hotels so he makes a profit off his family's protection. Every Republican gathering is required to serve Trump bottled water. State dinners are not held in the White House, they are held in Trump owned restaurants, at taxpayer expense, and he makes a profit. All his vacations at his hotels are profit making for Trump.

Public office to enrich oneself sure Makes America Great, doesn't it?
 
His unpredictability may lead us to a path of death or a great rebirth of Teddy Roosevelt.
 
the couple trump voters i talk about politics with are embarrassed and angry. They loved his anti anti interventionist/anti globalist shtick. Now he is "just like all the others" and "the globalists must have got to him". haha.
 
Or a 2nd term.
If we survive the nukes then he would run for a second term without opposition. Maybe Bernie may consider to be a candidate. He may look like this in 4 years. thCPBSBGZV.jpg Dick Beveta

lol i like how you sound super racist while trying to pretend to not be racist. tell us, why do you think black people are the only people who do drugs? i know plenty of black people who have never done drugs in their life. it's as if skin pigment has nothing to do with drug use.

President Trump has raised more than $42 million in the first quarter of 2017 for his 2020 re-election bid, outpacing his predecessor's donations by two and a half times.

Trump raked in $42.6 million between the Republican National Party and two joint fundraising committees from Jan. 1 through March 31. Former President Barack Obama and his Democratic counterparts raised $15.8 million in the first quarter of his first term in 2009, according to new Federal Election Commission filings and party officials.

The majority of donations were $200 or less and flowed in from email solicitations to support Trump's agenda.

However, Trump and his fundraising groups received 250,000 contributions from new donors.
 
Can someone get Mags out of his WW3 bunker?

Someone is awfully quiet lately.
 
No no, truth is never pulled out your backside.

Ha! i suspect your incontinence has skewed your perspective in this area of expertise, while ignoring the irony of your boy trump and his frequent backside pontification. It can only be described as wearing the blinders of an angry mule.
 
That would be great is he had a news conference and he lit up a joint. 300px-Killerdrug.jpg
 
Reversals in the past week

1) Trump had said he would label China a currency manipulator on DAY ONE, this week he told WSJ that China wasn't a currency manipulator.

2) Trump had said he did not believe the Import Export bank was necessary, this week he told WSJ "It's actually a very good thing"

3) Trump had said that NATO was obsolete, this week he said NATO is no longer Obsolete.

4) Last month after failing to repeal Obamacare he said he was moving on and tackling Tax Reform next. This week he said he was still going to have phenomenal Tax Reform, but that would actually follow going back and trying to do health care first.

5) This week we bombed Syria for using chemical weapons after Trump had said many times over many years that the US should not bomb Syria, particularly just because they used chemical weapons.


OK, those are the major ones I think. So, for those that supported Trump last week, what do you think about these reversals?
 
Bombing Syria changed the narrative on the TV news from Russia conspiracy theories to cheerleading the warmongering. The narrative seems to be about him changing his positions.

Not good. Wish we weren't in Syria in any way at all, but Trump inherited that situation.

Is it bad for the man to change his mind when given reasoned arguments by experts in the field? And in some cases, things have changed. Like NATO partners are at least talking like they'll pony up their fair share (what they agreed to all along) of the cost.
