He takes office in two months and his agenda is already being implemented. He’ll probably go down in history as the greatest leader of a nation.


I hope not. To be noticed as a “greatest leader” he will need to preside over a terrible, existential crisis, like Washington, Lincoln, or Franklin Roosevelt.

Reagan came close with the Cold War.

We do not want such a crises. We may get it, but we do not want it. Trump will be a better leader if we can avoid such a crises, but he will not get the credit of a wartime leader.

IMO, we’re IN a crisis already...of the Constitutional bent. Wartime on the homefront (Civil) is a hell of a lot different than watching from afar; but, the (D)\Liberals\GOPe seem to want to bring it on.

I just wish DT would call to that dusty, old document more often. Makes it that much harder to argue vs. black-n-white of plain, simple English.

We are in a crisis. Millions of illegals voted, and many millions more are here. We're $20 trillion in debt, we're the laughingstock of the world, there's hundreds of thousands of people being bused around paid for by Soros to riot, 0bama is going scorched earth before leaving, we have 0bamacare in which government forces us to buy something that's too expensive, and if we don't we get fined, among many, many other things that I can't remember. Better that than localized skirmishes.
