No, LOL Look it up. You blamed Obama for the first six months of job losses. So to avoid being a hypothetical conservative, let's be honest and recognize that Trump inherited a solid economy. And note, that the President and the Republican controlled congress hasn't passed any significant legislation that lead to this good economic growth.
Speaking of hypocritical Republicans. And stupid again.

The first six months of an administration have little impact on the economy. In this case the Republican President gets some credit for having a pro- business attitude.

Updated on Nov. 3 at 11:04 a.m. E.D.T.
President Donald Trump said "I don't remember much" about a March 2016 meeting at which a foreign policy adviser proposed setting up a meeting between then-candidate Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"It was a very unimportant meeting, took place a long time ago," Trump told reporters at the White House before he boarded a helicopter for his trip to Asia.
That March 31, 2016, meeting of Trump's campaign team has taken on new importance this week after prosecutors disclosed that a young adviser at the table had pleaded guilty to making false statements about the nature of his contacts with Russians last year.
That former adviser, George Papadopoulos, has agreed to cooperate with investigators working for Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller.
Also at the table in March 2016 was now-Attorney General Jeff Sessions. At his confirmation hearing this year, Sessions denied having contacts with Russians during the campaign. Senate Democrats including Al Franken of Minnesota, Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut have accused Sessions of lying under oath.
On Thursday, the Democrats demanded that Sessions return to the Senate to answer new questions about his contacts as a top surrogate for Trump, and contradictions in his testimony this year.
Leahy said Sessions' prior accounts are "impossible to reconcile" with court papers unsealed this week.
But Republicans, who control the Senate and the Judiciary Committee, probably have little appetite to grill the attorney general of their own political party. Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has not scheduled any new hearing.
So to avoid being a hypothetical conservative, let's be honest and recognize that Trump inherited a solid economy
Then why did Paul Krugman and others suggest that things were so fragile that the election of Donald Trump would lead us into both a recession and a sell off of stocks to the point of seeing 17,000 DJIA?
Krugman went so far as to say that the bad economy would continue as long as Trump was President.
So I guess you either have to admit that:
A) Trump is doing a "tremendous job" and that the economic boon is "huge".
B) liberal economists like Paul Krugman are low intelligent nincompoops who don't know the first thing about real world economics.

The American economy gained 261,000 jobs last month. We need 90,000 new jobs just to keep up with population growth, which means that net job growth clocked in at 171,000 jobs.

The fact that you simply assume something that is entirely untrue is a testament to the sort of person you are.
You admit that a PhD, Pulitzer prize-winning economist knows volumes more about the economy than a master degree right wing blogger
While Paul Krugman is no doubt a well schooled "book smart" economist. He quite literally gets almost "nothing" correct.
His "Pulitzer winning paper" was in regards to predictions that our economic model would look something akin to the Hunger games... were all the rich people flocked to the inner city to take advantage of things like mass transit... which would logically propel the decay of our suburbs and rural areas, where all the poor would be forced to live without the wonders of the Subway system and T-Bus.
He also predicted that commercial "hubs" would be common place. Where instead of cities having a variety of commerce, you would see places like Detroit (where they manufacture cars) pop up across the country. One city building cars. Another mining coal. Another growing corn. You know, like the Districts in Hunger Games.
Only in the liberal world of subjective award promotion... and you garner a prestigious award for being wrong... and continue to brag about it (and have others brag about it) for the rest of your life.
So yeah, Roger... you can take Krugman and being wrong 99% of the time.

Oh my goodness CH the anti-scientist will not like this.
The Trump administration released a dire scientific report Friday detailing the growing threats of climate change. The report stands in stark contrast to the administration’s efforts to downplay humans’ role in global warming, withdraw from an international climate accord and reverse Obama-era policies aimed at curbing America’s greenhouse-gas output.
The White House did not seek to prevent the release of the government’s National Climate Assessment, which is mandated by law, despite the fact that its findings sharply contradict the administration’s policies. The report affirms that climate change is driven almost entirely by human action, warns of potential sea level rise as high as 8 feet by the year 2100, and enumerates myriad climate-related damages across the United States that are already occurring due to 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit of global warming since 1900.
“It is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century,” the document reports. “For the warming over the last century, there is no convincing alternative explanation supported by the extent of the observational evidence.” The report’s release underscores the extent to which the machinery of the federal scientific establishment, operating in multiple agencies across the government, continues to grind on even as top administration officials have minimized or disparaged its findings. Federal scientists have continued to author papers and issue reports on climate change, for example, even as political appointees have altered the wording of news releases or blocked civil servants from speaking about their conclusions in public forums. The climate assessment process is dictated by a 1990 law that Democratic and Republican administrations have followed.
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt, Energy Secretary Rick Perry and President Trump have all questioned the extent of humans’ contribution to climate change. One of EPA’s Web pages posted scientific conclusions similar to those in the new report until earlier this year, when Pruitt’s deputies ordered it removed.
The report comes as President Trump and members of his Cabinet are working to promote U.S. fossil fuel production and repeal several federal rules aimed at curbing the nation’s carbon output, including ones limiting greenhouse-gas emissions from existing power plants, oil and gas operations on federal land and carbon emissions from cars and trucks. Trump has also announced he will exit the Paris climate agreement, under which the United States has pledged to cut its overall greenhouse-gas emissions between 26 percent and 28 percent compared to 2005 levels by 2025.
The report could have considerable legal and policy significance, as the scientific matter provides new and stronger support for EPA’s greenhouse gas “endangerment finding” under the Clean Air Act, which lays the foundation for regulations on emissions.
“This is a federal government report whose contents completely undercut their policies, completely undercut the statements made by senior members of the administration,” said Phil Duffy, the director of the Woods Hole Research Center.
The government is required to produce the National Assessment every four years. This time, the report is split into two documents, one that lays out the fundamental science of climate change and the other that shows how the United States is being impacted on a regional basis. Combined, the two documents total over 2,000 pages.

It means Trump's smart enough to get out of the way, and not do anything stupid to hinder the unprecedented long, long, long road to recovery.
He's been too busy trying - and mostly failing - to screw other things up and hasn't gotten around to any real damage yet on the economy. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Humans are likely responsible for 93 - 123% of Earth’s net global warming after 1950, says a blockbuster climate report issued on Friday. The Climate Science Special Report is the first product released by the Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA); the core assessment itself, focusing on impacts, will be released in 2018. The NCA is an congressionally mandated quadrennial effort by hundreds of U.S. scientists to assess how the climate is changing in the United States. The project is carried out by the U.S. Global Change Research Program. Preparation of the report included workshops around the nation, a public-comment period on the draft, and a technical review spanning 13 agencies.
Fig 1.2,1.3 from Climate Science Special Report (CSSR) Figure 1. (left) Global annual average temperature has increased by more than 1.2°F (0.7°C) for the period 1986–2016 relative to 1901–1960. Red bars show temperatures that were above the 1901–1960 average, and blue bars indicate temperatures below the average.

Image credit: Figures 1.2. and 1.3 of Chapter 1, Climate Science Special Report. A strong answer for climate-science-denying politicians Ever since the Earth recorded three consecutive warmest years on record—2014, 2015, then 2016—the mantra of climate-science-denying politicians has shifted from “it hasn’t warmed since 1998” to “Earth’s climate has always changed, and we are not sure how much humans are to blame for the current warming.” At least three members of President Trump’s cabinet gave a variation of this message in their Congressional confirmation hearings. Well, we now have a new authoritative range on what the human contribution to global warming is: 93 – 123% of the warming since 1951. Chapter 3, Detection and Attribution of Climate Change (p.160) of the new report states:
And BTW.....The september report adjustment was a surprise...still does not make trump any less responsible...like you all did with obama being held responsible for that first disastrous 6 months....get real CH....no one plays the blame game better than you or donnie the loser.....
The initial report of -33,000 being revised to 18,000 plus side , was not at all any kind of "surprise". I warned, jane, hb and Opie that the initial report would be adjusted.

Republicans Already Divided Over Tax Plan “After a display of unity for the unveiling of an ambitious plan to slash individual and corporate taxes, some House Republicans began late Thursday to pick out the parts of the tax legislation they don’t like,” Bloomberg reports.
MARK MAZZETTI and ADAM GOLDMAN November 3, 2017 WASHINGTON — Carter Page, a foreign policy adviser to the Trump presidential campaign, met Russian government officials during a July 2016 trip he took to Moscow, according to testimony he gave on Thursday to the House Intelligence Committee.
Shortly after the trip, Mr. Page sent an email to at least one Trump campaign aide describing insights he had after conversations with government officials, legislators and business executives during his time in Moscow, according to one person familiar with the contents of the message. The email was read aloud during the closed-door testimony.
The new details of the trip present a different picture than the account Mr. Page has given during numerous appearances in the news media in recent months and are yet another example of a Trump adviser meeting with Russians officials during the 2016 campaign. In multiple interviews with The New York Times, he had either denied meeting with any Russian government officials during the July 2016 visit or sidestepped the question, saying he met with “mostly scholars.”
Mr. Page confirmed the meetings in an interview on Friday evening, but played down their significance.
As I approach 60 years old, a few years off still. I am having more fun watching the left chase thier tails. What damage WP to the point he post such nonsense.
The usual suspects have nothing to say anything interesting. But a lot of nonsense and again and again and insults and again and again and again for your increasingly less rational discussions.
As long as he "keeps trunking along" with one screwed up failure after another, I'm good with it :) Could be worse - President Cruz might have been able to force some of his stupid ideas through. President Trump, haven't seen it yet.
WASHINGTON (CNN) - Carter Page met with Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich while in Moscow in July 2016, the former foreign policy adviser to Donald Trump's campaign confirmed to CNN on Friday.
The encounter occurred during a conference in July 2016 at Moscow's New Economic School, Page said, describing it as more of a "hello" in passing than a formal meeting.
Page testifies he told Sessions about Russia trip Sessions under renewed scrutiny on Capitol Hill Carter Page: Russia 'may have come up' in emails Carter Page subpoenaed by Senate intel committee Page to plead Fifth to Senate Russia investigators Page first confirmed the encounter with a senior Russian government official to The New York Times on Friday night. He later told CNN's Jim Sciutto the Russian official's name.
Page shared an email with at least one Trump campaign aide "describing insights he had after conversations with government officials, legislators and business executives during his time in Moscow," the Times reported, citing one person familiar with the contents of the message. The email was read aloud during Page's closed-door testimony to the House intelligence committee, the newspaper reported.
A source told CNN's Manu Raju about the existence of an email Page wrote to a Trump campaign aide following his trip to Moscow in July 2016.
Get email alerts for local stories and events around the world. Sign Up The latest revelations about Page's trip in the summer of 2016 differ from the details he has shared with the news media over the last several weeks. When Page spoke with CNN's Jake Tapper on Friday afternoon, he said he had only met with academics and a few business people whom he had "known for over a decade."
In his interview with Tapper, Page also confirmed that before going on the trip he mentioned his plans to travel to Russia to then-Sen. Jeff Sessions as well as "a few people" on the Trump campaign.
When Tapper asked if Sessions, now the US attorney general, was "the only one on the campaign that knew about the trip," Page replied: "I mentioned it to a few people."
"Who else?" Tapper asked.
"You know, it'll come out," Page said. "Things keep leaking in this."
Although Page said his comment to Sessions was only in passing and the trip was unrelated to the campaign, he statements call into question Sessions' testimony to Congress regarding the Trump campaign and any potential ties between it and Russia.
Almost every single day a campaign advisors denied contact with the Russian government, are exposed as a liar.
“This is a federal government report whose contents completely undercut their policies, completely undercut the statements made by senior members of the administration,” said Phil Duffy, the director of the Woods Hole Research Center.
The report could have considerable legal and policy significance, as the scientific matter provides new and stronger support for EPA’s greenhouse gas “endangerment finding” under the Clean Air Act, which lays the foundation for regulations on emissions. ________________

i'm good with that in EVERY administration.
simply adding pages to the federal register is not a measure of success.
It's mot me being embarrassed, although I admit to being a little sarcastic. It's just that when someone rationalizes an Administration's failures by saying they are an executive branch with no role in legislation, the discussion is already absurd.
Every President has a legislative agenda KD, and Trump as much as anyone. Repeal and Replace is a legislative goal. Tax reform is a legislative goal. Immigration reform, blocking the entry of dangerous foreign nationals, is a legislative goal. The President plays a critical role, working in hand with Congress, to help them produce legislation in support of his agenda. This President has been a singular failure in that regard.
Oh I'm patient, I expect to see another three years of "winning bigly" by failing to achieve any legislation. I can wait it out.
I have less patience when it comes to national security and foreign affairs. Trump does have the ability to screw that up almost unilaterally - best case is that Trump is a blowhard as the Bush's put it, and an empty suit otherwise. We'll soon see.

Disgusting.
Roger -
If Krugman is so economically smart:
Why is Donald Trump's net worth 1400 times that of Paul Krugman?
If you had to listen to one of two different Football coaches? Would you listen to the one who is always right and always "winning" or the one who is always explaining why he was wrong and losing?
Oh my goodness CH the anti-scientist will not like this.
The Trump administration released a dire scientific report Friday detailing the growing threats of climate change. The report stands in stark contrast to the administration’s efforts to downplay humans’ role in global warming, withdraw from an international climate accord and reverse Obama-era policies aimed at curbing America’s greenhouse-gas output.
The White House did not seek to prevent the release of the government’s National Climate Assessment, which is mandated by law, despite the fact that its findings sharply contradict the administration’s policies. The report affirms that climate change is driven almost entirely by human action, warns of potential sea level rise as high as 8 feet by the year 2100, and enumerates myriad climate-related damages across the United States that are already occurring due to 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit of global warming since 1900.
“It is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century,” the document reports. “For the warming over the last century, there is no convincing alternative explanation supported by the extent of the observational evidence.”
The report’s release underscores the extent to which the machinery of the federal scientific establishment, operating in multiple agencies across the government, continues to grind on even as top administration officials have minimized or disparaged its findings. Federal scientists have continued to author papers and issue reports on climate change, for example, even as political appointees have altered the wording of news releases or blocked civil servants from speaking about their conclusions in public forums. The climate assessment process is dictated by a 1990 law that Democratic and Republican administrations have followed.
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt, Energy Secretary Rick Perry and President Trump have all questioned the extent of humans’ contribution to climate change. One of EPA’s Web pages posted scientific conclusions similar to those in the new report until earlier this year, when Pruitt’s deputies ordered it removed.
The report comes as President Trump and members of his Cabinet are working to promote U.S. fossil fuel production and repeal several federal rules aimed at curbing the nation’s carbon output, including ones limiting greenhouse-gas emissions from existing power plants, oil and gas operations on federal land and carbon emissions from cars and trucks. Trump has also announced he will exit the Paris climate agreement, under which the United States has pledged to cut its overall greenhouse-gas emissions between 26 percent and 28 percent compared to 2005 levels by 2025.
The report could have considerable legal and policy significance, as the scientific matter provides new and stronger support for EPA’s greenhouse gas “endangerment finding” under the Clean Air Act, which lays the foundation for regulations on emissions.
“This is a federal government report whose contents completely undercut their policies, completely undercut the statements made by senior members of the administration,” said Phil Duffy, the director of the Woods Hole Research Center.
The government is required to produce the National Assessment every four years. This time, the report is split into two documents, one that lays out the fundamental science of climate change and the other that shows how the United States is being impacted on a regional basis. Combined, the two documents total over 2,000 pages.

heh. you're such a fucking tool.
It means Trump's smart enough to get out of the way, and not do anything stupid to hinder the unprecedented long, long, long road to recovery.
He's been too busy trying - and mostly failing - to screw other things up and hasn't gotten around to any real damage yet on the economy. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Would you listen to the one who is always right and always "winning" or the one who is always explaining why he was wrong and losing?
With all his bankrupted business ventures, walking away with other people's money, which one is Trump again?

Humans are likely responsible for 93 - 123% of Earth’s net global warming after 1950, says a blockbuster climate report issued on Friday. The Climate Science Special Report is the first product released by the Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA); the core assessment itself, focusing on impacts, will be released in 2018. The NCA is an congressionally mandated quadrennial effort by hundreds of U.S. scientists to assess how the climate is changing in the United States. The project is carried out by the U.S. Global Change Research Program. Preparation of the report included workshops around the nation, a public-comment period on the draft, and a technical review spanning 13 agencies.

A strong answer for climate-science-denying politicians
Ever since the Earth recorded three consecutive warmest years on record—2014, 2015, then 2016—the mantra of climate-science-denying politicians has shifted from “it hasn’t warmed since 1998” to “Earth’s climate has always changed, and we are not sure how much humans are to blame for the current warming.” At least three members of President Trump’s cabinet gave a variation of this message in their Congressional confirmation hearings. Well, we now have a new authoritative range on what the human contribution to global warming is: 93 – 123% of the warming since 1951. Chapter 3, Detection and Attribution of Climate Change (p.160) of the new report states:
And BTW.....The september report adjustment was a surprise...still does not make trump any less responsible...like you all did with obama being held responsible for that first disastrous 6 months....get real CH....no one plays the blame game better than you or donnie the loser.....
Here is no surprise, Chicago October had 53 murders. And no one really gives a tinkers damn.
Stumpy the iconic idiot posted....
All agree Hillary "rigged" her Nomination.
And all also agree you are a moron.....
oDopie, I agree, nam caused global warming.
There feel bestest now?
Manufacturing added 24,ooo, Expectedly!
The initial report of -33,000 being revised to 18,000 plus side , was not at all any kind of "surprise". I warned, jane, hb and Opie that the initial report would be adjusted.
Keep following hb's beloved Pauline Krugman.
And no one really gives a tinkers damn.
I care and you just politicize it which means you are a disingenuous POS....NEXT
KD THE FUCKING IDIOT POSTED!!
. I warned, jane, hb and Opie that the initial report would be adjusted.
Geez, the fact they have revised the initial number at least 2 times for as long as they have been publishing it, you thinking you predicted something again proves you are another praise seeker like trump....no one cares about you or your stupidity
I agree, nam caused
Nam numbnutz? Yeah, you agreeing and 2 bucks will get you a cup of coffee.....
Global warming is real. Man. (( not nam, my bad))) caused it.
Ok, I am enjoy it.
wp, we have both seen a big difference of CH now and since Trump won. His lies and multiple business failures don't bother him.
And Trump has driven you insane
"He's been too busy trying - and mostly failing - to screw other things up"
Failing at what? He's doing exactly what he was elected to do.
"With all his bankrupted business ventures, walking away with other people's money, which one is Trump again?"
The President.
President Screwup, I agree. The plucked duck President, and if he doesn't trigger Armageddon I figure we'll get by, just as we always have. The silver lining IS his screwup nature ... I doubt that we'll even see this tax package passed, not without a lot of modification.

WASHINGTON — Carter Page, a foreign policy adviser to the Trump presidential campaign, met Russian government officials during a July 2016 trip he took to Moscow, according to testimony he gave on Thursday to the House Intelligence Committee.
Shortly after the trip, Mr. Page sent an email to at least one Trump campaign aide describing insights he had after conversations with government officials, legislators and business executives during his time in Moscow, according to one person familiar with the contents of the message. The email was read aloud during the closed-door testimony.
The new details of the trip present a different picture than the account Mr. Page has given during numerous appearances in the news media in recent months and are yet another example of a Trump adviser meeting with Russians officials during the 2016 campaign. In multiple interviews with The New York Times, he had either denied meeting with any Russian government officials during the July 2016 visit or sidestepped the question, saying he met with “mostly scholars.”
Mr. Page confirmed the meetings in an interview on Friday evening, but played down their significance.
Spam by the drunkard
LOL, Pesident Trump.
A year ago the Leftist here where picking out drapes for the White House.
TY, for informing WP, what Trump is.
Shit that was funny.
"President Screwup, I agree. The plucked duck President, and if he doesn't trigger Armageddon"
President Screwup keeps trucking on...with possibly another Supreme Court nomination during his first term, lol.
One man's Armageddon is another woman's mission accomplished.
-33,000 in Sept, the left said Trump was to "blame".
Same left want the credit when it clocked in at 18 k up.
Confused illiterate left.
"A year ago the Leftist here where picking out drapes for the White House."
Bless their little hearts.
As I approach 60 years old, a few years off still. I am having more fun watching the left chase thier tails. What damage WP to the point he post such nonsense.
The douche bag Hillary had a ballroom with a glass ceiling.
She choose to in circle herself in sex perverts, her hubby a known Rapist, Wienstien a known rapist, Carlos Danger child predator.
Algore and Hillary can grow old together knowing they will never be President.
I answered your question CH.
The usual suspects have nothing to say anything interesting. But a lot of nonsense and again and again and insults and again and again and again for your increasingly less rational discussions.
As long as he "keeps trunking along" with one screwed up failure after another, I'm good with it :) Could be worse - President Cruz might have been able to force some of his stupid ideas through. President Trump, haven't seen it yet.
You think that Trump has achieved some legislative policy, KD?
Here we go again.
WASHINGTON (CNN) - Carter Page met with Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich while in Moscow in July 2016, the former foreign policy adviser to Donald Trump's campaign confirmed to CNN on Friday.
The encounter occurred during a conference in July 2016 at Moscow's New Economic School, Page said, describing it as more of a "hello" in passing than a formal meeting.
Page testifies he told Sessions about Russia trip

Page to plead Fifth to Senate Russia investigators
Page first confirmed the encounter with a senior Russian government official to The New York Times on Friday night. He later told CNN's Jim Sciutto the Russian official's name.
Page shared an email with at least one Trump campaign aide "describing insights he had after conversations with government officials, legislators and business executives during his time in Moscow," the Times reported, citing one person familiar with the contents of the message. The email was read aloud during Page's closed-door testimony to the House intelligence committee, the newspaper reported.
A source told CNN's Manu Raju about the existence of an email Page wrote to a Trump campaign aide following his trip to Moscow in July 2016.

The latest revelations about Page's trip in the summer of 2016 differ from the details he has shared with the news media over the last several weeks. When Page spoke with CNN's Jake Tapper on Friday afternoon, he said he had only met with academics and a few business people whom he had "known for over a decade."
In his interview with Tapper, Page also confirmed that before going on the trip he mentioned his plans to travel to Russia to then-Sen. Jeff Sessions as well as "a few people" on the Trump campaign.
When Tapper asked if Sessions, now the US attorney general, was "the only one on the campaign that knew about the trip," Page replied: "I mentioned it to a few people."
"Who else?" Tapper asked.
"You know, it'll come out," Page said. "Things keep leaking in this."
Although Page said his comment to Sessions was only in passing and the trip was unrelated to the campaign, he statements call into question Sessions' testimony to Congress regarding the Trump campaign and any potential ties between it and Russia.
Almost every single day a campaign advisors denied contact with the Russian government, are exposed as a liar.

Sessions could actually be charged with for lying under oath. Arresting the Attorney General world be another first in the Trump administration.
Do you really want to compare sessions to holder??
LOL.
Getting rid of Sessions would be doing Trump a favor.
Since we're playing with words...
Could be worse - President Clinton might have been able to force some of her stupid ideas through. 😁

Nope, He does not have that power, he runs the executive branch.

Myballs remember this racism of HB's beloved Eric Holder.
"MY PEOPLE".
HB, is a typical liberal
HB yelled at us conservatives for posting the U 6 number during the jv lost years.
So to piss him off I am posting the U6 number.
Oct 2016. Jv pres = 9.5
Oct 2017. Winning Bigly = 7.9
HB, said we would stop posting in during Pres. TRUMP YEARS.
The Executive branch has no legislative policy goals eh? OK, I'm good with that philosophy in the Trump administration.
“This is a federal government report whose contents completely undercut their policies, completely undercut the statements made by senior members of the administration,” said Phil Duffy, the director of the Woods Hole Research Center.
The report could have considerable legal and policy significance, as the scientific matter provides new and stronger support for EPA’s greenhouse gas “endangerment finding” under the Clean Air Act, which lays the foundation for regulations on emissions.

Answer: They have "goals", please stop, your embarrassing yourself, bring back the pre-Nov 9th, 2016 @ 3 am WP.
It's mot me being embarrassed, although I admit to being a little sarcastic. It's just that when someone rationalizes an Administration's failures by saying they are an executive branch with no role in legislation, the discussion is already absurd.
Every President has a legislative agenda KD, and Trump as much as anyone. Repeal and Replace is a legislative goal. Tax reform is a legislative goal. Immigration reform, blocking the entry of dangerous foreign nationals, is a legislative goal. The President plays a critical role, working in hand with Congress, to help them produce legislation in support of his agenda. This President has been a singular failure in that regard.
Patience grasshopper, patience.
It took the last President fifteen months to ram through his one and only "signature" piece of legislation...
Oh I'm patient, I expect to see another three years of "winning bigly" by failing to achieve any legislation. I can wait it out.
I have less patience when it comes to national security and foreign affairs. Trump does have the ability to screw that up almost unilaterally - best case is that Trump is a blowhard as the Bush's put it, and an empty suit otherwise. We'll soon see.
