He is doing what he can, as he can. He knows the dominoes he needs to line up. The investigations and the ways the Republicans continue to not help through them ties Trump’s hands a bit. He has to work around a lot of issues—even simple Executive Orders being run up to the Supreme Court.

Trump is doing as much as is currently possible. He is using each blockade as time to address trade and other issues.

No one else could have done half of what he has been able to do, so far.

> “My own research I found nothing that assured me one way or the other. “

That’s not his fault. That’s the fault of the research abilities of yourself and those around you.

> “I read a lot of mix messages his friends and acquaintances were a mixed lot and he had no political record to speak of.”

Again deficiency in research ability. There was and is PLENTY of record in politics, just not in elected office.

Donald Trump knew the political game better than most elected politicians because he had to work with them to get permits for his projects. He knew their corrupt ways, he knew which ones were bought by who, he knew which ones were controlled, compromised.

But he was also a master of business, banking, insurance, trade, taxes, regulations, labor, management, planning.

He was such a master that Congress invited him frequently to testify on what they could do to improve the economy and the business environment.

It was obvious he knew much more about repercussions and side effects of poorly crafted legislation, and this is why he was always invited.

As to his character, it is evident everywhere in his past as he was interviewed hundreds of times as to his views and methods. Here is one interview, one of many, that is revealing:

Your takeaway from all this is to find things to read and practice that will make you a better researcher because all of your comments point to the need for that.

What is wrong with you? Why in the world can you not except that to people can have a honest difference of opinion? Since when is it necessary to be joined a the hip or otherwise you are a sworn enemy of some one? To me that is the thinking of the leftest.

My word is that what you believe?

As I have already compared Trump to Jackson I ask you is this anything that they did do to him as well and did he let it stop him?

Trump is not God.

He knows what he can “get by with.” You don’t.

You never know until you try. You might be surprised what having God on your side allows you to get away with.

I'm doing my best to get people to vote in November as we need to hold the House and gain seats in the Senate.

After President Trump, #TheyAreComingForYouNext, Trump supporters.

Because you jumped into my comments and called it ‘cheerleading’ and it was obvious you don’t know what the F you’re talking about.

Is that clear now?

Next time you’ll know better.

Don’t worry, I will not be posting anything to you again unless by some miracle you become endowed with wisdom.

The “...fire in their belly....”

The DoJ has arrested, indicted and tried 4,000 criminal illegals (mainly gangbangers) since Session took charge.

He and Trump and a sizable section of the population understand that our greatest problem is ILLEGALISM.

Not only is he doing a great deal about it but the issue is provoking the Dems to behave more and more outrageously generating more Trump supporters.

He is playing it beautiful.

Right? Especially when it's a sneering NYC magazine who's main claim to journalistic fame is rating NYC restaurants and what the latest trends of the hoi poloi are in The Hamptons.

They’re only your betters if you submit to them.
