    That's a very generous description of the rollout and its global impact. You understood history almost always rejects kneejerk nationalist decisions like this? You're also - imo - overstating the impetus for the ban. Reminds me of this tbh:

    Where do you live and how old are you?

    Trump literally played everyone one who voted for him and it just so happens that a bunch of dumbass people voted for him. I don't even see why people would vote for him

    You keep thinking that. He's already done like 20% of the stuff he promised to do and he's been president for three weeks. He'll become perhaps one of the greatest presidents the U.S. has ever had.

    I mean I haven't seen one Trump supporter criticize him about anything yet. He has done a great job so far.

    Trump has already done some good things, and frankly some abysmal things. I like his actions on trade. I like the infrastructure stuff. I'm pretty confident that he will be a mixed bag. This national conservatism angle that he seems to be going with is different, to say the least- we'll see if it will be destructive or effective. There's too many unknowns with Trump - I'm not sure what direction Trump will go on many issues because I don't know where his moral center is at.

    His family should take away his twitter account, for starters. Don't understand why he's still tweeting.. It just highlights his instability and narcissism and gives his opponents even more ammo. As hilarious as I think some of his tweets are, he's seriously not winning anyone over with that nonsense.

    The executive order ban on 7 countries was sloppily done and frankly not that effective.. I don't agree with poking Iran with a stick. If you want to target countries that breed terrorism, you should go after Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc. It seems stupid and ineffective if you aren't going to target the real threats. Saudi Arabia is a big one also but we are allies with SA and they buy weapons from us. Plus I have heard rumors that Trump has business interests in SA... So there's that.

    Trump's authoritarian tendencies bother me.. I don't like the way he thinks he can bully everyone and expect it to work. He's proving to me why I didn't vote for him, even if I favored him over Clinton. If we can become less interventionist, that's a big one for me. It seems like his administration has been infiltrated by the hawkish neo cons, which I don't like at all. We may well continue this failed imperialist foreign policy of bombing the middle east and bullying the Islamic world.. I'm not in favor of that at all.

    If we can lower taxes, and shrink govt, that would be preferable for my own personal gain... but Trump is no fiscal conservative, nor is he an advocate of small government, so these are things that I'm not confident about.

    I hope he comes through.. He is a populist, he appears open minded and flexible on many issues, we'll see how it goes. I would be floored if he lasts 4 years and manages to change the public opinion of him. That would be an amazing 180

    Yea, idk, he's obviously the least tactful president I've ever seen and some of his tweets I think are dumb as h---, but yea I don't think anybody is questioning his ability to get things done (even if they're things that they don't like)

    I just have different views.... I think he'll get impeached before that(or atleast I hope).... He has already signed more executive orders in less than 3 weeks as being pres than Obama did during his 8 year tenure..... I think trump will become a dictator to be honest.. and I also think he doesn't give a f--- about anyone other than himself and people to close to him.... During Trumps first week the tope 10 richest people in America made a combined 16 billion in profit.... The rich will keep getting richer while the poor gets poorer
    and plus his right hand man, Steve Bannon, is a f---ing warkhawk that wants to go to war with China and in the Middle East..... Like I don't want to send any of our people to war

    That's not true. Obama signed hundreds of executive orders. Only thing I'd say that they both sign a lot of executive orders.

    As to the rest of your post, a lot of that is just your opinion and that's okay. I think he wants people to have jobs and make a lot of money.

    Bannon may be a bit of a warhawk, idk, but Trump is not, and that's good. He doesn't like nation-building (in other countries), a stark contrast to Hillary Clinton.

    too early - remains to be seen

    But already, Obamacare is stalled in Congress. People were predicting it would be repealed by the time he got inaugurated - now it's nowhere in sight. The GOP is realizing this is going to be harder than they thought

    He's going to do a lot of damage, no doubt, but that doesn't make him a strong executive. So far, all signs point to a chaotic and undisciplined administration

    I think by weeks end we will have confirmation that the POTUS reads at the same level as Floyd Mayweather or worse.

    It will just be another in a long line of national embarrassments for us.

    You're literally just making up stuff to fit your view of Trump.

    Dude... all you can say in the guy's defense are silly platitudes. The rest of us have actually thought about this stuff and laid out our issues. We aren't being "haters" - we're thinking adults.

    How OLD ARE YOU CUCK

    Donald Trump's travel ban was also just rejected by an appeals court lmao. It'll likely go to the Supreme Court.
