Maybe as time goes on, Trump might start getting more and more popular.

Especially If he brings more industry and jobs back to America. If he fixes ACA. And so on.

And some or perhaps a lot of the people who have freaked out over him, will calm down and start to take more of a liking.

And daily media hit pieces will start becoming less poplar. I think one of saddest parts of all this is how tabloid-like some reputable media sources seem to have gotten.

Maybe in the long run Trump will turn out to be a good president. And of so, then what will people have to say for themselves?

For some reason, am having technical difficulties with the YouTube link you posted here,

Or maybe the president and both houses do not have that much power over the policy of the fed to begin with, since they do respond to rumours of that the fed might rise interest rates. But I think the changes are high you would also complain about Trump in this regard if the markets had plummeted.

DOJ also target of President Trump's call for investigations into leaks. https://tiny.iavian.net/fbhe

From the article:

"However, just before President Obama left office, he expanded the power of the National Security Agency allowing the agency to the intercepted phone calls and personal communications with the 16 other intelligence agencies before applying privacy protections, according to a story written by The New York Times.

These expansions of powers also widen the scope of people who may have had access to the details contained in the classified phone intercepts."

Pope appears to back anti-Trump protests in letter condemning populism. https://tiny.iavian.net/fblg

Just ONE of the reasons I left the Catholic Church.

Not to mention, isn't Dodd-Frank supposed to protect people from the financier leaches from taking their money with impunity? How is getting rid of that a good thing, save for the said financier leaches?

That's like saying ....

- Aren't the EPA safe water regulations suppose to protect Flint drinking water?
- Aren't FDA regulations suppose to protect us from one of these many, many litigated drugs we see on tv?
- Won't gun control regulations protect us from gun massacres?

Government regulations are an illusion of safety.

I think so, TOO!! It's a total bummer not knowing who you can trust.

They'll act like they knew, all-along, that he'd do well.

Robberies happen even though there are laws against robbery. Therefore lets make robbery legal! I can't even type the amount of :roll: and :lol: your posts evoke.

Yes, no security is better than fake security.

Because people relax, and let down their guard when they foolishly think government regulations are protecting them.

Dodd-Frank is not a good law that has hurt the economy, it was written by Wall Street lobbyists. Go look up Chris Dodd and Barney Frank's connections to the banking industry. Regulatory capture in action! The big banks win while the local banks get crushed. Trump supports bringing back the Glass-Steagall Act which was repealed under Bill Clinton.

I've posted that places. One of my favorite clips.

However I'm hoping that maybe Trump's ego wants him to go down as a hero of the people.

I'm guessing that's one of the things he won't ever actually do.

What made you interested in Wrong Planet then. I'm just curious.
