So, Donald Trump has been President for a week. I'm interested in getting peoples' observations.
Here are some of mine, for anyone interested:
1) The world didn't end - Since the Anti-Christ hasn't shown up (yet) and there was no "nucyuhlar war of mass destruction" with the Russians, we may be okay.
2) Nothing really unexpected - There were a lot of executive orders, to be sure. But this is all stuff Trump had said he was going to do anyway. None of them were really that shocking, IMO. I'm not saying that I think they are good. Most of them I don't agree with. But he said he was going to do this and he did.
3) I'm starting to get Trump a bit - He fancies himself as the Great Negotiator, and maybe he is. If you want something from him, you have to negotiate and offer him something. And he views everything as negotiable. The Republicans in the House and Senate were the first to get this. Deals were made before he won the nomination. This is why they all get along so well right now. This "paying for the Wall" business with Mexico is negotiation for re-doing NAFTA, mark my words. Same with the China stuff.
4) Trump listens to "Mad Dog" - He backed off the waterboarding issue when Sec. of Defense Mattis informed him it doesn't work. This is reassuring.
