Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

Economic? How so?

Either way, what exactly do you expect him to do? Go over to Obama and punch him in the nose?


I guess it was just an awkward feeling seeing Trump praising Obama so many times. He couldve been respectful and classy but wasn't necessary to say "he's a good man" like 3 times or "I will seek council from you".

Let's not forget, he's not the political correct candidate that fakes things and kisses up to people he doesn't like.

If you want to be convinced, I'll give you a good argument.

Ever heard of this quote?

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer"

Yup I hope you're right.

The better way of phrasing this quote:

Kill them with love.

It is smart to get counsel from the previous president even (especially) if you willl be dismantling his agenda. There are only a few people alive who know the ins and outs of the presidency and one is a Clinton and two are Bushes.

Ok, they won't select someone for one of the most demanding jobs in the world who is shomer shabbos.

Sorry to sound like a jerk but POIDH.
I remember all too well 2000-2008 when the liberals had "Bush Derangement Syndrom." They imagine stuff. I know, I sound like a jerk.

I saw a video of black-on-white violence in the name of the election results. Show me videos of these incidents though. I mean, everyone has a phone today. Everyone. Show me the videos.

Yeah, so most of this "first day of Trump" hype is just that. All hype. The liberals are not above making stuff up.

Yes. I'm willing to forgo on his baggage/personality if he will fix things in this country. I believe he can be successful - since he's been successful most of his life in business and in most things that he pursued including the presidency.

So if he starts to take council from Obama - then this whole thing shatters down. He didn't win because of this type of behavior. He won as a "clean the swamp" candidate.

But I still have faith in him and believe that he'll do a good job. I hope that the reason he's acting like that now is because hes new to this whole presidency concept/workflow and wants to learn the process. Once hell be comfortable with this - hell be a little more himself.

He's a person that is personally successful while bulldozing those that are part of his campaign to "make Donald even greater". He may be the first president in history to have absolutely zero agenda but to be popular. He's not a conservative, not a liberal, not a Democrat, not a Republican, not an American fascist, not a white supremacist, not a misogynist; he's a Trump first (and only) supporter. Happens to be that the Donald is a white male American, so he feels comfortable denigrating anything that doesn't fit into that description. He has no problem with Obama's agendas; he insulted Obama only as long as that was a tool to make himself greater. This guy has no concept of working together or achieving the greater good; as the world only exists for one purpose and there is only one definition to good: the Donald. There are very few people you want to keep as far away from a job that gives you access sealing people's fates like the Donald, as he has no respect for humanity or human life. Everything is just a tool for his personal self aggrandization. He views a reporter critical of him as a more crucial threat to be dealt with than a nuclear Iran. Anybody who thinks he gives a hoot about America is delusional.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I've been wondering since before the election, what happens to Trump's businesses once he's President.

Top elected officials traditionally put their investment portfolios into a blind trust, to avoid any semblance of trading on non-public information, or even worse but not usually likely, making policy decisions that can result in personal financial gain.

I don't know if we ever before had a president that had active businesses such as Trump does. A blind trust is obviously not an option. What does he do in order not to be bogged down by daily ethics accusations? (Along those lines, I think that estate tax repeal is going to be quite low on his priorities, as it is not seen as a tax policy directly affecting growth, and could definitely come to be questioned on personal gain grounds).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

The same Leftist media that ADMITTED that they caused Donald to win because they were being careless and irresponsible during the campaign, are now continuing to be careless and irresponsible.

The NYT is openly accusing America of being racist. We are not talking about Huffington Post or Slate. This is the New York Times.

I have seen crazy stuff from the Left before, but this is a whole new level. They are actively inciting crowds to use violence.

It's like when you step on a cockroach but don't crush it all the way and it starts to run like hell
