I love all the liberals quivering in fear over a REAL leader, a REAL president!
I'm less concerned about what President-elect Trump says and more concerned about what he does. Actions speak far louder than words and so far with his nominations I like what he's saying. Time will tell.word salad = leadership to you
Got it!

The concern about his lack of control and the impact it has on business should be of concern however. He can't keep his mouth shut and the potential impact of him using the bully pulpit to attack businesses is quite disturbing.My heart does not bleed for them. What I pay in prescription prices is a joke.

shocking, simply shocking that you would find anything he said to be coherent and well thought out.I just watched the press conference and I was very impressed with Donald Trump. He is as real as it gets and it will take a courageous man to undue all the mismanagement of our country that has happened over time.
The problem is obvious in everything he does. He can't separate the idea that everything isn't about him. Everything is either an attack on him or his opinion is right about everything. Even if he is proven wrong he has to twist it to where he is all knowing. He is incapable of viewing his role in a large scale. It's fucking scary to watch.This is a great example of why people shouldn't equate running a business with running the country, and appears to be a great example of why Trump is already showing how shitty he will be at running the country. One of the primary jobs a president has is to encourage stability. You want to have the government negotiate on drug prices? I'm 100% on board with that. You don't just blurt that shit out at a press conference though, you engage in this in a thoughtful manner.
I'm having a hard time deciding what is worse, if this guy is just this incompetent that he doesn't know any better or if he does know better and just doesn't care.
Every time he talks to press he can't resist kissing his own ass.The problem is obvious in everything he does. He can't separate the idea that everything isn't about him. Everything is either an attack on him or his opinion is right about everything. Even if he is proven wrong he has to twist it to where he is all knowing.

Al Ameling, 58, a technical analyst who lives in Marble Rock, near the Minnesota border, is representative of the profound demographic shift among white rural voters in the northern Midwest that helped produce Mr. Trump’s stunning upset. Mr. Ameling voted for Mr. Obama in 2008, sat out in 2012 and enthusiastically backed Mr. Trump. Nothing he has heard since Election Day has shaken his support, including reports this week that American intelligence agencies are investigating unverified accounts of meetings between Trump aides and Russian officials, as well as sex tapes purportedly made of Mr. Trump in Moscow. On Wednesday, Mr. Trump called the allegations completely false.
“The way it is nowadays, unless I see positive proof, it’s all a lie,” Mr. Ameling said in a telephone interview on Wednesday. He added he was more concerned that government officials might have leaked the material to the news media. “I don’t know if it was classified, but if it was, whoever leaked it needs to go to jail,” he said. “We need law and order back in this country.”

Mel Manternach, a retired farmer, said many farmers who had once voted for Mr. Obama switched to Mr. Trump, which he found perplexing. “Trump was against T.P.P., which would help exports of ag commodities,” he said, referring to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a free-trade deal. “They voted against their own self-interests.”
....
Ms. Furman, 70, said, “I’m ashamed to say we caucused for Obama” in 2008. “My view is he purposely got into the presidency so he could ruin America.”
Still, Trump voters in the state say they are hoping for the best.
Mike Staudt, a retired farmer from Marble Rock, voted for Mr. Obama in 2012, but called the Affordable Care Act a form of socialism. He said he had no problem with a candidate who had run as the voice of the working people but was stocking his cabinet with the ultrawealthy.
“I know these guys are really rich,” he said. “They may have pulled off a few plays that weren’t exactly on the up-and-up, but they all had to be pretty smart to be billionaires. If they replace their own concerns with the concerns of the country, they can make things really move forward. That’s what I’m excited about.”

Anyone that rails against the ACA/Obamacare as a "form of socialism" and then turns around uses Medicare or Social Security needs to be slapped up side the head with a trout. Let alone a farmer that may have taken subsidies. It's all the same thing. It's just a different hand being held out.
What bubble do you live in? GWB was an average person. Yes, Trump is one or two pegs below that.
Those debates last fall were just terrible. Short script followed by incoherence.

Major Major’s father was a sober God-fearing man whose idea of a good joke was to lie about his age. He was a longlimbed farmer, a God-fearing, freedom-loving, law-abiding rugged individualist who held that federal aid to anyone but farmers was creeping socialism. He advocated thrift and hard work and disapproved of loose women who turned him down. His specialty was alfalfa, and he made a good thing out of not growing any. The government paid him well for every bushel of alfalfa he did not grow. The more alfalfa he did not grow, the more money the government gave him, and he spent every penny he didn’t earn on new land to increase the amount of alfalfa he did not produce. Major Major’s father worked without rest at not growing alfalfa. On long winter evenings he remained indoors and did not mend harness, and he sprang out of bed at the crack of noon every day just to make certain that the chores would not be done. He invested in land wisely and soon was not growing more alfalfa than any other man in the county. Neighbors sought him out for advice on all subjects, for he had made much money and was therefore wise. “As ye sow, so shall ye reap,” he counseled one and all, and everyone said, “Amen.”
Major Major’s father was an outspoken champion of economy in government, provided it did not interfere with the sacred duty of government to pay farmers as much as they could get for all the alfalfa they produced that no one else wanted or for not producing any alfalfa at all. He was a proud and independent man who was opposed to unemployment insurance and never hesitated to whine, whimper, wheedle and extort for as much as he could get from whomever he could.
Did I see that trump wants "public-private" partnerships for infrastructure investment? Yay toll roads!
