    Chewy – what is your opinion of Trump at this stage? Do you still think he’s a good guy, and good for the nation of America and the people who got him elected?

    President Trump is a good guy but he just does not have the saintly image everyone wants to see. He is good for America in terms of economy and job creation etc.

    Is he performing the same / better / worse than you expected?

    He is performing as predicted and perhaps better considering all the hassles he gets from all this opponents. Not a single Presidents faced this sort of hassles in the past but then most of them were heading for the PC era. President Trump is the turning point hence so many find the concept difficult … the change.

    Is there anything he could have done differently?

    No, he should be himself by being himself. He knows what he is doing so he should do what he believes is right.

    What do you think of his failure to achieve… pretty much anything?

    His past failures (the larger the better) are credits to USA. (Cryptic alert, cryptic alert … see if you get that …)

    I’m not sure I’ll bother with that…..

    except to say: it’s a good illustration that some people will absolutely not back away from their support of him – after the last 3 months, some people still think he’s a “good guy”. Jesus wept.

    Holes dug….
    It’s obviously a lot easier when you just rearrange (change) facts to suit like Jambyu’s post up there.
    and then for those that think Trump is a force for peace and reduced US military interventions

    BEIRUT, Lebanon — The United States launched more airstrikes in Yemen this month than during all of last year. In Syria, it has airlifted local forces to front-line positions and has been accused of killing civilians in airstrikes. In Iraq, American troops and aircraft are central in supporting an urban offensive in Mosul, where airstrikes killed scores of people on March 17.

    Two months after the inauguration of President Trump, indications are mounting that the United States military is deepening its involvement in a string of complex wars in the Middle East that lack clear endgames.

    Rather than representing any formal new Trump doctrine on military action, however, American officials say that what is happening is a shift in military decision-making that began under President Barack Obama. On display are some of the first indications of how complicated military operations are continuing under a president who has vowed to make the military “fight to win.”

    Perhaps we all live in a bit of a dream…

    So you know how it was John McCain who brought about the investigations into Trump’s Russia ties?

    Small world, just as Trump’s campaign manager, Paul Manafort is balls deep in Russian muck:

    Paul Manafort’s Russia connections

    The plot to sell America’s foreign policy for foreign oil and steal an election in the bargain began at the Mayflower Hotel.

    Manafort’s business partner Rick Davis is also similarly entrenched:

    The thing is, Manafort’s business partner, Rick Davis, was John McCain’s campaign manager during his presidential bid

    Could go further with Oleg Deripaska, Nathan Rothschild and prominent UK politicians and how that also ties to McCain, but I’ll leave that to you for now.

    Hmmmmm not good for the tourism industry though, how many billion dollars and jobs are predicted to be lost over the next four years? Also since alternative energy sources are pretty profitable and generate more jobs why is he supporting coal? Hmm Russian steel? Hmmmmm free golf holidays every weekend? Trump is good for Trump and a few select individuals.

    The Wall Street Journal just tweeted this about Trumps former national security adviser:

    “Mike Flynn has offered to be interviewed in probe of Trump team’s Russia ties in exchange for immunity”

    It looks like the general mood on employment front in the America looks good, whether this is due to President Trump effect etc does not matter coz if American is doing fine the future will be bright. 😛

    Edit: Other news (including opponents) are also reporting the rather similar figures and with consistency of not giving the credit to President Trump. Guess what, people know who has helped them and that’s good enough. 😛

    Impartial news here.

    “The door is open,” Alibaba Executive Chairman Jack Ma declared as he announced plans to create a million new U.S. jobs after meeting with Pres.-elect Donald Trump – but, he’s not the only major employer to publicize plans to hire since the election.

    Between Election Day (Nov. 8 ) and Trump’s inauguration (Jan. 20), more than a dozen large companies have joined Alibaba in announcing they will be adding American jobs or canceling plans to outsource them.

    And, unlike Pres. Obama’s fuzzy-math claims of Stimulus job creation, these are at least 1.16 million jobs that have been actually created or saved since the election – before Trump has even taken the oath of office.

    GM: 1,000+
    Walmart 10,000
    Bayer 3,000
    Lockheed 1,800
    Amazon 100,000
    Alibaba 1,000,000
    Fiat 2,000
    Sprint 5,000
    Tesla-Panasonic 1,400
    SolarCity 3,500
    IBM 25,000
    Carrier 1,000
    Ford 5,000
    Apple (undisclosed number of jobs added to 2013 expansion plans)

    Total: 1,158,700

    While the president-elect has been quick to take credit for announcements like these, just how much of this is actually due to the Trump Effect is unknown. But, one thing is clear: business optimism, like the stock market, appears to be up.

    Other news (including opponents) are also reporting the rather similar figures and with consistency of not giving the credit to President Trump. Guess what, people know who has helped them and that’s good enough.

    He has published no policy on jobs, he has not worked out his tax policy, the vast majority of the jobs are clearly attributed to previous anouncements and plans put in place well before the election started. The reason they are not attributed to Trump is that they can’t be.

    isn’t alibaba a source for cheap Chinese manufacturing?
    Solar city is Elon Musks gig, surely entirely unrelated to Trumps policies and influence.
    Infact, can you give any empirical data that suggests that Trump is directly responsible for these companies creating employment opportunities in this time scale?

    So Flynn may be the first to crack. Hopefully there will be a queue outside the FBI HQ as others look to save their skins.

    Will have to look for the volley of Trump tweets to see how rattled he is.

    Alibaba has less then 36,500 employees. Another million is quite an expansion. If you read up on it they’re not employing people but hoping firms that haven’t yet signed on with them will sign up and become more successful. Bit of a reach basically.

    So, what does Flynn want immunity from?

    Is he about to drop Trump in it, after the orange one hung him out to dry?

    Maybe this is why Trump’s lapdog Nunes is trying anything to stall the investigation he’s supposed to be heading up.

    It’s all getting a bit banana republic

    We don’t know exactly but in Flynn’s own words (NBC interview last year) “You don’t ask for immunity unless you’ve committed a crime”

    There were further tweets last night which suggested that the FBI have turned down his offer and that they have enough on the case without his help. Which if true probably leaves Flynn screwed.

    42% apparently. Kind of surprising that America functions at all with figures like that.

    It’s almost as if you knew it was nonsense. Otherwise why would you feel the need to specify?

    Anyway – this is MRC TV:
    Its stated mission is to “prove—through sound scientific research—that liberal bias in the media does exist and undermines traditional American values.”

    Sounds completely unbiased to me.

    The Trumpster has obviously been a massive failure as far as his grand schemes are concerned, but it’s important to be aware of the damage his stupidity is doing at a smaller scale, for example:

    And, wow, how bad has it got when even the Oil Companies are asking Trump to tone down his attacks on Environmental law!

    ExxonMobil, the largest American oil group, has written to the Trump administration urging it to keep the U.S. in the Paris climate accord agreed to at the end of 2015. In a letter to President Donald Trump’s special assistant for international energy and the environment, Exxon argues that the Paris accord is “an effective framework for addressing the risks of climate change.” Exxon argues in its letter that there are several reasons for the U.S. to stay in the Paris accord, including the opportunity to support greater use of natural gas, which creates lower carbon-dioxide emissions than coal when burned for power generation.

    Peter Trelenberg, Exxon’s manager for environmental policy and planning, writes in the letter: “It is prudent that the United States remain a party to the Paris agreement to ensure a level playing field, so that global energy markets remain as free and competitive as possible.”

    Darren Woods, the new chief executive who took over at the start of the year [when former C.E.O. Rex Tillerson became secretary of state], said in his first blog post that “climate risks warrant action” from businesses, governments, and consumers, and described the pledges made at Paris as “an effective framework for all countries to address rising emissions.”

    It’s an interesting point. If the US uses it’s cheap (but very polluting) coal reserves to fuel a short term economic boom, whilst the rest of the world invests heavily in renewables, what happens when the coal runs out??
