It's been 8 long years since the United States has had a real president.
Welcome aboard Mr. Trump.

I loved his inaugural address. I hope that he is true to his word. I want to see him succeed, since, if he succeeds then so do we as the people.

I'd say that wait was closer to 29 years...

I'm hoping for the sake of the US that he can pull it off. My concern is that he's promised the universe and he'll be unable to deliver. Hopefully the reality of running a country and not a business doesn't hit him and blow his plan to sh**.

He was obviously ill during the entire speech. Probably something he ate. It looked from the expressions on the faces of the Democrats and the Establishment Republicans sitting behind him, he must have been constantly "breaking wind" directly into their faces.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

For me, if he golfs and builds hotels for the next four years, it'll literally be much better than hill dumping tens of thousands of pages of exec proclamations on the country every Sunday evening. But, the momentum is there, and he knows what to do with it.

I got a laugh from Secretary of Treasury Nominee, Steven Mnuchin, "I forgot about my $100M in real estate", "I forgot about the Cayman Island Hedge Fund management position" "The kid's $1M in art.
"It was a simple mistake amid a mountain of bureaucracy, an innocent error"
Goldman Sachs - "Our client's interests always come first"
Where did I put that Swamp Pump?

I thought his speech was great, not what the media expected from his short prelude speech from the night before. They thought that he was going to succumb to their way of thinking once elected. Wrong.
In reference to Ken's post, he was basically telling them to s*it or get off the pot.
It would be great to see these changes and I believe he will do the best that he can but it will not happen overnight. We will see how long it takes for the first change.

Don't get me wrong, I am not a Hillary fan. Trump has ideas, not sure that there's been any evidence offered that he has plans that are realistic. Got my fingers crossed.

Every President goes in with high expectations. D.C. Is such a blob of inert interest that getting things done by passing laws is very hard. But he can undo a lot of regulations and a lot of these Executive Orders with a stroke of a pen. He can freeze Federal hiring which will reduce the Federal workforce overtime. Just appointing people to run the EPA with reasonable regulations would help a lot.
I'd be happy if he can get 1/3 of his things done in four years because Hillary would have done none of them. She would have headed in the opposite direction as fast as her fat little legs could take her and our money with her.
On a brighter note do you think she, Hillary, would like to be an ambassador? Maybe Libya? She knows it's always been safe. She'd be close to her Middle East friends.
