So it's not his policies you have a problems with, just personality? He hasn't materially changed anything from the campaign trail. The people clawing at their faces in rage since the election haven't been able to hear anything he says. You've been blinded by hate and listening to a media doing everything they can to destroy the man.
I'm not sure what his policies are, exactly, so there's that.
Be honest, he's a bit of a moving target. Yesterday, he made comments suggestive of a road to citizenship for illegals who are working and not committing crimes. I really do think most people believe this to be the correct approach -- illegals who commit violent or other serious offenses get deported, those who work or contribute in some way get a realistic path to citizenship.
But will he maintain that? He's going to catch major flack from his base. Will he still take that middle ground that most people like because it makes sense and is realistic?
On the ACA, the fact is the only way to bring down cost of insurance is to widen the pool and include healthy people. Obama did it with a mandate -- you have to buy or pay a penalty, to generate revenue to fund care. Trump says he wants to do it with incentives, i.e. tax breaks or credits to young healthy people who buy insurance on their own if employer does not offer it.
Will he still want to do that when the numbers come back and the young healthy people still aren't buying in? Cost of care will go up. Cost of insurance will go up. The number of insured will go down.
Will he then reverse course? I think he might.
And how about the budget busting moves he is planning? Increased spending and decreased revenue, when we are already running a deficit. Now, he believes that he can recover the lost revenue by increasing growth. In principle, that CAN work, but not if at the same time you do it you give tax breaks to the companies that experience the growth.
And you know that is what this Congress, in particular, is going to do. He may spur growth, but will the increased receipts from that actually offset the increased spending and other income reductions?
And if it doesn't, how is the base going to feel in three years when their standard of living has barely ticked up, but the billionaire class continues to reap windfalls?
The goals he has set are great. But are they rhetorical or real?
