I don't get it... The trump says he's might not defile a program that is important to you and you laugh at him and call him a pussy for it. What's so bad about the fact that the president elect can compromise and might not be a total dumbass? Would you prefer it the other way around? I guess the I'm really hoping he will do the right thing for America promises be damned especially if they were stupid ones to begin with.
Generally, the time to form an opinion about a key plank in your platform is before you make it a key plank in your platform. It's not that we're pissed off liberals angry that the Oompa Loompa is changing his mind. It's that we've been insisting all along that he has no fucking idea how to run a country and no serious thoughts on policy and here we are, t-plus 4 days, and he demonstrably has no fucking idea how to run a country and no serious thoughts on policy. The "right thing for America" would be to resign.
Not at all. If this is true it's a very exciting prospect that perhaps Trump isn't going to burn everything down. I think the schadenfreude some are hinting at is what many have assumed: A large part of Trump's campaign was bullshit promises (aren't they all?) and it's going to be interesting to watch his supporters demand the impossible. At this point I'm burnt out on the whole thing. President Trump? Fine. I'm just hoping he'll listen to reason on issues just like this.
I hope more people have the same attitude. The election shananagans are over and we're stuck with the guy. I really want him to do the right thing for America regardless of what he promised earlier. I'm sure people are going to call him a looser when he doesn't build his wall either but honestly it's the better of the two outcomes so why complain.
