During the 60 minutes interview, when Trump was asked if he was going to continue with his plans with the special prosecutor I was agreeing with him about potentially not wanting to take the focus off of the other more pressing issues right up to where he said "I don't want to hurt them....these are good people . " This was the same instinct he showed when wrapping up the Obama meeting where he said "very good man". I think what he was trying to say in both cases, was that he was recognizing they may have had SOME "good intentions" but both statements can make the casual viewer / listener raise an eyebrow as to how he actually feels about them. I think he is just trying a little hard to show his "softer side" and I don't necessarily have a problem with that, but it may make some supporters scratch their head a little. -Dtech __________________________ "I've got a life to live, people to love, and a God to serve!" - sigmonkey "Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value." - Albert Einstein "A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition" ― Rudyard Kipling | |||

Well, the election is won; he knows we (his supporters) have his back. Now he's trying to appeal to the other side. I don't have too much of a problem with that just as long as he truly does completely repeal that God awful Obamacare and with his DOJ does a completely fair and honest investigation into the Clintons. If he does that, he's kept his promise as far as I'm concerned. At least in regards to those two things. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

I interpret that Trumpism that to be the same sentiment when we Southerners say the phrase "Well bless her heart". He is savvy to not take the bait at this point and juncture. He is being patient and I like it. | |||

I/we hired a leader in Trump. I'm going to let him lead and do what I can to see him succeed. Like anyone, no chance I agree with him 100%. Not blindly, but the man is now trying to build a machine that will let him accomplish OUR goals. That is hard and I doubt any of us could do that - he is lasered in on the end goal and will build what is needed to get there. I'm going to trust he knows more than us and I am looking forward to the next year.

It was just an observation that caught my attention. If most of us have learned anything throughout the campaign is to not take his words too literally. Understanding the idea behind his words is more important and I'm sure we're all looking forward to him getting a lot of positive things done. -Dtech __________________________ "I've got a life to live, people to love, and a God to serve!" - sigmonkey "Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value." - Albert Einstein "A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition" ― Rudyard Kipling | |||

There are riots in the streets protesting his election. He's trying to cool the 50%+ of the population that didn't vote for him. Going into enemy territory & acting humble will go a long way to getting the whiners to shut up. The longer these assholes are amped up, the worse it will be. Anyone notice the butthurt when the press didn't get to ride on his plane to the meeting at the white house? He broke a 'long standing tradition' that began with GWB - a man that had to try to generate publicity. Trump needs no such thing. Ass, Gas or fluff stories about how good of a person I am - nobody rides for free..... When you stop trying to 2nd guess him & see what he's doing, it's fascinating how he can play that many fools. He's a master manipulator & he's mostly on our side. We elected him, now we gotta let him do his thing. | |||

Take the big picture. Don't get all caught up. Patience. In April, 1990, there was a revolution in Nepal to end the corrupt monarchy and establish democracy. Three days after the king stepped down, there was a big demonstration near Durbar Marg, the heart of the city of Kathmandu. I went into the crowd to check it out. They were chanting against democracy because nothing had changed. In three days! They were angry. Disappointed. Relax. Trump will take office in January. Let's see what he does. And be patient. It's a big, big swamp. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

Neither Hill nor Bill would ever see jail time anyway. Hill losing to Trump is good enough for me for now. But, I think a lot of the foundations money belongs to the US. So getting some of that would be good if that's even possible. Now, Comey, Lynch, and Holder on the other hand aren't too old to be busting rocks. | |||

I don't mind seeing Trump keeping Comey. We disagree with Comey but he did in fact do great damage to Hillary's chances, without giving the DNC a chance to replace her back in July. Now if it's our belief that Comey is bendable, to DOJ and WH pressure, well then, that may even work out to our side's favor now that WH and DOJ are on our side.  | |||

...is exactly what he's doing, a barely polite, superficial, example of politics in its purest form, just like how he thanked Hillary for her 30yrs of service in his victory speech rather than loudly exclaiming "you're fired, you wretched witch"... like I probably would have. Does anyone really believe he thinks positively of these people? He's "acting presidential", being magnanimous, trying to unify both sides - albeit barely, and focusing on what's important. It's silly, but people are dumb and that shit matters because it helps and works. Its pretty amusing to watch, really. | |||

Don't the folks at the clinton news network ever get tired of being wrong? Now they are saying President elect Donald Trump (I love saying that) has made a big mistake naming Steve Bannon to his staff. You can read the article here but this is the line that stood out to me. But Steve Bannon was a far more controversial pick. His website is rife with bigoted, anti-Semitic, homophobic, misogynist and just plain creepy content that got a huge platform boost thanks to Trump and Bannon's campaign collaboration. By the way I have never seen any anti semantic, articles on the Britbart website. As far as homophobic, obviously they must not be aware of Milo. ______________________________________________________________________________ My grandfather voted republican until the day he died, now he votes democrat. | |||

People amaze me. Younger guys, I can understand them being puzzled by Trump's post-election remarks, but anyone who has a few decades on this planet has no excuse for not understanding why the President-elect said what he said about the Clintons. | |||

Bernie Sanders: "I come from the white working class, and I am deeply humiliated that the Democratic Party cannot talk to the people where I came from." Bernie Sanders is a fraud. Until he was 40 years old, he was a bum (literal sense). ***************** Trump. For 8 years we have suffered under a president w zero class. A man who used every federal agency as a vicious political weapon to attack his Republican enemies. If Trump can rapidly establish an image of a fair leader who gets things done, the contrast w obama will be startling. Just like his probability of winning went from 20% to >95% in about 3 hours, his favorability might go from low to high in a few months. | |||

If you're 30 or older, no one should have to tell you what Trump's post-election remarks about the Clintons mean. Both Hillary and Bill need to keep looking over there shoulder. The FBI or Senate subcommittee found yadda yadda yadda? Well, we can't take any action on it, y'see. No, Trump screwed us with his magnanimous, meaningless post-election remarks. Come on. It means nothing. Winston Churchill knew the score, all too well: “In war, resolution; in defeat, defiance; in victory, magnanimity.” ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||
