so many promises, so many questions.
i really get a lor of what he is saying and why so many want him to do the things hes promising.
but i ask, lets just pick the 'bring jobs back to america.
i presume he means manufacturing jobs.
so lets take something every american would buy thats not made in america but under president trump will once again be 'made in america'
television sets.
the reason televisions are made in china or korea ec t is really cheap labour meaning really low prices at the store when i buy my tv.
if america says, no more cheap imports of tvs, gotta make em in the USA then who is going to be happy to pay $2,000 for a tv that costs $500 now?
and that spreads to all imported goods trumps wanting to be 'made in america' again.
is he planning to lower wages for workers in america to the same as 3rd world countries?

maybe he is planning ahead as with his gung ho style hes bound to get the countries who have most of the worlds oil off side and those countries might just tell the USA no more oil from us.
just about every 'thought bubble' this guy has if looked into has repurcussions far and wide.
a simple 'add 20% tax' to mexican imports, that now is seen as americans paying more for anything sourced from mexico.
so the story goes from one idea to the next, he never sits down with anyone and says...hmmm if we were to do this what might happen?
he's surrounded himself with people who agree blindly with anything he says.
i think, michael jackson and elvis, how did having no one to say "STOP" help them?

His bid has just been trumped by a Federal Judge.

It's only a temporary "stay", I'm sure his lawyers will find a way around it ....

I bet he's foaming at the mouth though. I wonder if he'll try to get her (the judge) sacked. Now that would be interesting to watch.

looking at his first week or so in office its like hes kept all his 'dear santa' letters from when he was a boy and now is getting all his wishes as fast as he can.
