I suspect he'll start eroding the 1st amendment and other human rights (with exception of the right to bare arms of course). I also suspect he'll try to stop people from entering the US based upon ethnic background and/or political persuasion. Etc.

It's been a pretty sad day overall, to be honest, a pretty sad week. Is the world really just going to sit back and watch all this unfold and do nothing? Are US citizens and the Senate just going to let it all happen? Or Is it just Republican's like Cliven Bundy that actually stand up for their rights (even if completely in the wrong) I'm actually not sure what anyone can do, I just know someone needs to do something. I honestly expected the Dems to fight back much harder against most, if not all of Trumps cabinet picks, especially after what the Republicans did over Obama's Supreme Court pick for the last year. I know it's early days, I just expected a bit more resistance to everything.
You have to weigh your sentiment up against the opposition, such as Marie B in Georgia...
--Trump put a freeze on all new federal regulations, many great nominations, the repeal of Obamacare has begun, along with the pipeline, next is lowering taxes, the wall, getting rid of common core, conservative justices and everything else. Every single day we have something to cheer for. Let's hear it for our president. #TRUMP--
And Robin A in Texas -- I was on the liberal side once. I started learning more about truth in history, medicine, etc. Then learned how skewed the media is. I started connecting dots and realizing my mindset was quite off and my views started to change. I don't exactly know what I am (probably Libertarian with some Conservative leanings). What I do know is I am loving and grateful, and prefer to not be politically stamped. I was liberated from liberalism around 1998. And I haven't looked back.--

Looking at the real world rather than a stock market index, at constant prices the US economy grew about 12% during the eight years of Obama's presidency - an annual growth rate of about 1.5% per annum. That's very low historically. Reagan and Clinton's growth rates were closer to 4%, Kennedy and Johnson's above 5%.
Although not performing as poorly as in the Obama years, the economy also struggled during George Bush's presidency. The US hasn't enjoyed high growth since the Clinton era, which is a long time between booms.
There may be something systemic at work here. Trump is revamping the system. We'll see what happens.
I hope someone eventually asks him whether he's actually read the Pew report.
She's a publicity addict. She used to appear on Wolf Blitzer's show regularly during the campaign and famously got into a spat with Wasserman-Schultz over the DNC's debate position, it was completely unneeded but it got Gabbard into the headlines as a perceived power broker. She also tried to take the Senate seat by a retiring Senator from Hawaii in 2012. I think she is trying to build her political brand for a potential Senate run in 2018 or for the WH in 2020.
Are you intrinsically evil? How about the crash and depression that Obama was left to govern with? Isn't there a context to the numbers that we analyze? You are not from US, not a Tea Party affiliate. I don't understand your sympathy and support for GoP? Why is that? Are you a social conservative? Religious backer of Conservative values? Joker/Bane? What is your story man?
Two types of people voted for Trump. Those who truly believed he had valid arguments and will make America great again and then they're those who are downright racist assholes. Whichever category they fall into they both have one thing in common they're all idiots.
I wonder what effect lowering taxes and increasing import duties is going to have to growth rates in the long term and the competitiveness of the economy? What will happen to the economy and stability of the country if the chasum between rich & poor gets even larger? Etc.
This all looks so depressing. They're already setting a precedent of just completely ignoring facts and doing what they want. We can post videos on Twitter that call him out on all of his shit but it won't make a blind bit of difference.
Large scale protesting might help... if you don't get sued, or even shot, that is.
I do too, I hope someone calls him out on every single thing he's said in the campaign to become and then actually act as President of the United States but it's really, unimaginably hard to understand how he keeps getting away with saying all sorts of stuff time and time again.
He says something, it gets debunked completely, he then says they're lying and somehow nothing ever comes of it.
His ability to deflect things away from him is nothing short of astonishing to be honest. He could turn around and say God doesn't exist, all Christians are batshit crazy and literally take a shit on the Reagan Bible that Pence is going to swear his oath with and I'm pretty sure he'd still get away with it and that's with all the bible-belt crazies out there that voted for him.
Wait, what?
It's nice that our Prime Minister is going to be wedging herself into his anal cavity this week

Obama had to deal with the biggest economical crisis since the great depression, a situation which dominated his first year of presidency (the only real time frame he had the backing of the countries legaslative organs). Of course the prices increased and growth slowed down. The loss of the money´s value was massive.
The bold is a hilarious claim. Trump is part of the system he vowes to change. A multi billionair who appointed several Wallstreet giants into his administration. Do people expect him to change the views he held his whole life or are they just ignorant enough to not actually know a thing or two about the guy.
If she can find any space with Morgan already firmly settled in.
"And as we end our membership of the European Union - as the British people voted with determination and quiet resolve to do last year"
I know she was AWOL from the campaign but yeezus.What if he's using this to change the voting system to his benefit? To slowly erode public liberties?
For those who are interested there's a fascinating BBC documentary from a few years back called The Nazis: A Warning From History.
Has he literally gone canvassing the streets for one person of every ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, etc there?
Anyway I think Trump should go even further with his immigration policies and make sure everyone has a huge file with their family tree right from the very beginning in it, he and millions of other Americans wouldn't be allowed to step foot on US soil.
Well he has the Senate in his favour and he's the POTUS. Similar to Erdogan and what he's doing at the minute, it wouldn't surprise me if he manages to get away with it.
Nobody ever seems to get further than the first rebuttal against anything he says. The video in that tweet is a case in point, the guy argues that the Pew report proved Trump to be wrong and yet after the first instance of him mentioning it, he couldn't get a word in and nothing of anything he's said whilst campaigning to be President, or since he's been President has been analysed and questioned past being proved it's wrong. It doesn't make any sense and only says to me that there are people in the background making sure that any opposition gets shot down despite having actual evidence to debunk what Trump says is true. It's just staggering trying to figure out how he manages it otherwise, he's very much developing a cult of personality around him and his time in office.
No, they vote for him because he 'tells it like it is' or 'is not a politician' and failing that 'not Hillary'.
But sure, it's all about economic anxiety.
I can honestly say I've never tortured a puppy in my life. As a child I did once cut a worm in half. I was guilt-ridden for days, but happily the worm recovered. Worms are very resilient.
So is Trump coincidentally.
Obama has been around for eight years. When an economy drops it creates a space into which it can rebound. The Irish economy since the bust is a good example.
Of course you would know that, yours would look YUGE in The Donald's baby sized hands. Joke Will, Joke!
I don't know where you've been for the last decade, but we've just had the biggest World wide recession since the Great Depression and in fact during this period the US economy has faired much better than most of the civilized World.
The US's GDP growth under FDR didn't turn positive until 1935, the Depression started in 1929. You can't be serious to expect historically strong growth under Obama when he stepped into office with the 2nd most severe economic downturn in their history?
Christ on a bike.
The sort of bullshit euphemism I'd expect to hear from a fan of Brexit and Trump. When you throw an economy under the bus however you don't leave so much room for a rebound, more like you add multiple opportunities for additional traumas to parts you might have missed when you hit the ground the first time.
They're all dillusional.Wait, what?
How can the economy have been struggling under Bush when they could afford a whopping 2 wars? Check mate liberals.
Yeah. I'm quite impressed just how delusional he and a few others are. I didn't think it was possible.
No, see, it was smart for the conservatives to destroy the economy before Obama took over because it's proof liberals can't fix anything.
Greenpeace stepping upThat won't come back to haunt him
It won't, I guarantee it.
At least not until he leaves office and this twisted experiment has taken it's course.
Development of the Gross Domestic Product
Another one about the real GDP from 2007 to 2016 (estimated) with more countries included based on 2007 = 100%
We might talk about the debt...

Mr. Absolute, I must regretfully inform you that the worm died. They do not survive being chopped in half. This is a myth or, if you prefer, an alternative truth.
Completely ignores two prempted wars and the mortgage lending/banking financial crisis that led to the last depression. Thinks an oft bankrupted businessman can do better.
Have a word with yourself ffs!!
If only that could be semi-permanent, with a new message on every week. So much potential.
