    Impressive.. The Republicans control three parts of gov't and need to break the filibuster to push through a moderate.

    Nice job with the Chinese. I think he declared China a currency manipulator and totally got in his face. That's what happened, right? Just like he said he would do? Another victory or has Trump been mugged by realPolitik?
    I guess that will depend on how China's policy changes with respect to North Korea. Slow down on your declaration of victories/losses. Gorsuch is a victory. On much else it is too soon to tell.
    Trade was Trump's calling card on China, not N. Korea. In fact, he wanted to pull back from supporting Japan in the region. So it's all very curious.

    Trump is learning on the job. He is being confronted with national security issues for the very first time in his life and is dealing with them so far in a proper way. The issue of most immediate importance is North Korea and this is an instance where early tough talk on China can be traded for a change in Chinese policy. Trade is important and you might want to remember that he already ended TPP. Further issues on trade and currency can take a back seat to North Korea at the moment.

    Calling Gorsuch a victory is only because the bar has been set so low for trump. People say he's "presidential" when he can string together sentences like you would in 8th grade speech class. I don't recall my teacher saying "that was very presidential!" after my speech on recycling.
    For those people who only go to the polls on the issues of judges Gorsuch will absolutely be seen as a victory...and the democrats handled it so poorly that even more conservative judges can be appointed in the future. Thank the #resistance for playing into Trump's hands....those tiny tiny hands.

    I'm comparing campaign promises to reality. His tune has changed mightily.. like I said, RealPolitik. But here's the other real thing that is going to slap us in the face after he is gone. Pulling out of TPP was an enormous mistake if you want to balance the trade. I hope you understand this because if you don't, then you clearly haven't studied either TPP or the its competing RCEP. We managed to exclude China from TPP but they are influential in RCEP. We essentially ceded the economic power in that region to China by pulling back.

    Fucking stupid. Beyond stupid. Ignorant. Short sighted. Juvenile. Trump caved to the ignorant Nationalists who think we are going to start making tennis shoes in the US any day now.

    Impressive.. The Republicans control three parts of gov't and need to break the filibuster to push through a moderate.

    Nice job with the Chinese. I think he declared China a currency manipulator and totally got in his face. That's what happened, right? Just like he said he would do? Another victory or has Trump been mugged by realPolitik?
    I guess that will depend on how China's policy changes with respect to North Korea. Slow down on your declaration of victories/losses. Gorsuch is a victory. On much else it is too soon to tell.
    Trade was Trump's calling card on China, not N. Korea. In fact, he wanted to pull back from supporting Japan in the region. So it's all very curious.
    Oh...is it very curious?

    Trump is learning on the job. He is being confronted with national security issues for the very first time in his life and is dealing with them so far in a proper way. The issue of most immediate importance is North Korea and this is an instance where early tough talk on China can be traded for a change in Chinese policy. Trade is important and you might want to remember that he already ended TPP. Further issues on trade and currency can take a back seat to North Korea at the moment.

    I'm comparing campaign promises to reality. His tune has changed mightily.. like I said, RealPolitik. But here's the other real thing that is going to slap us in the face after he is gone. Pulling out of TPP was an enormous mistake if you want to balance the trade. I hope you understand this because if you don't, then you clearly haven't studied either TPP or the its competing RCEP. We managed to exclude China from TPP but they are influential in RCEP. We essentially ceded the economic power in that region to China by pulling back.

    Fucking stupid. Beyond stupid. Ignorant. Short sighted. Juvenile. Trump caved to the ignorant Nationalists who think we are going to start making tennis shoes in the US any day now.
    I don't support him on TPP. Never have. Just saying that on trade it was a promise kept.
    Fair enough..
    And this says China is sending 150,000 troops to the North Korean border

    To protect N. Korea... not in support of US forces.
    Or to prevent an influx of refugees.
    So we could potentially be involved in a couple of wars lol like they say when ever there is turmoil start a war ..

  • It's not all that bad having Ivanka Trump having a big sway on the actions of President Trump.
    Donald Trump’s daughter persuaded him to strike targets in Syria, according to reports of a diplomatic memo.
    After the missile strike, Ms Trump wrote on Twitter: “The times we are living in call for difficult decisions. Proud of my father for refusing to accept these horrendous crimes against humanity.”
