Already it looks like Trump is not holding to his campaign promises.
I believe that Trump is overwhelmed and doesn't know which way to turn or from whom to take advice from.
He probably can't even remember some of the things he committed to during the campaign. He's beginning to realize that being president is more complicated than he thought and that everyone out there is trying to take advantage of him. They are all out for themselves and their own ego's and pocketbook.
What Trump doesn't realize is that the establishment Repugs (the likes of Ryan & McConnell) will push their own agenda's and if things go south Trump will shoulder the blame.
Trump needs to get serious about being the president and take control and be his own man. Right now he's being pulled in a number of different directions and in this first week he's looking like a fool.
If he doesn't take control and push his own agenda he's going to be all over the place because of all the factions he's putting in place.
If he were smart he should take some advice from Obama as I do believe Obama would provide him with good consul - but I don't think that will happen because of Trump's own ego.
As a result - Trump's presidency will be over before it really starts and 'buyers remorse' will set in quick amongst those who supported him.
Bottom line - we're in for a wild ride and our only hope is that the American People come to their senses by 2018 and begin to give back some control to the Dems.

(90,788 posts)And as blaming others is already their favorite pastime, why change a good thing?
They won't blame Trump - they'll blame "establishment republicans", Liberals, the Democratic Party, POC, women, etc..
It's already starting by orgs like alt-right. After they blame the black people, they will move on to the rest of the progressive spectrum. Muslims, Latinos, Hispanics, Gays, women (or at least the ones that don't fall in line), etc... These assholes will never blame their own disastrous ideology. Never going to happen.

(11,686 posts)but when it does it will probably be real remorse. I will not be nice to those who voted for him and are losing everything. I will remind them they voted for him and put themselves into that situation and they are at fault for others for being in that situation also. The same with those who did not vote at all. I will not be mean but just BRUTALLY honest.

However, there were a lot of people who reluctantly voted for Trump because they thought Hillary was so bad, and he will lose those pretty easily, I think.

(10,724 posts)his campaign promises are pretty much all in trouble, and his only hope is to deliver a strong recovery to the rust belt. Good luck with that...enough government money and fiscal stimulus and he might pull it off, but that would require a repug congress to hand out a lot of blank checks. They sis it for Reagan, of course, but I don't see it happening this time.
When change doesn't happen, again, the angry masses will vote for change again. Wash, rinse, repeat. I suppose the main thing that perplexes me is that the majority of people who believe in small government also blame government for not fixing everything in the world.

(45,806 posts)"They didn't really think he'd ever win! I'm waiting for them to realize that a lot of things he promised CAN'T BE DONE! The stupid wall is one of them. Bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US is another. He may think heo's can do anything, but heoll find out thst HE can't insist that Ford bring their Mfg. back from Mexico and they're going to tell him BS!
I'm patiently waiting for the days I can say to my Pubbie friends, "Well how do you like him now?" Every day the Con releases the name of another of his picks, that day gets closer. The Con rewards loyalty whether they are qualified to do a particular job doesn't matter. When these idiots fail to deal with the problems they are presented with, they'll leave him in a heartbeat!

(19,240 posts)will never ever admit that they made a bad purchase. They will blame minorities, gays and women for whatever happens. They will blame the "liberal media." They will blame anyone but themselves. That's what made them such easy targets for the con man. When he sells them band uniforms and instruments that no one can play, they will delude themselves like the citizens in "The Music Man." They will eat Trump's shit and proclaim it delicious.

(90,367 posts)... asses for starting such a stupid war.
Then they scapegoated Jewish people with the not so tepid help of US banking
The difference now is PoC don't make up .05% of the US population and there aren't going to be many people standing by while assholes try to wreck folk lives.
Scary shit, the NYT wrote a piece in 1922 that sounded like the same passive "give him a chance" shit they're giving DPutin

A few of them will realize that they voted for a scam artist.
Many more of them will have a very quick change of heart if Trump starts a nuclear war.
