Very Political

[CUSP82]

It's a nice cut and paste job but it should fire things up!
President Trump started off as aggressive as any President ever in working for the American people as he promised. Now as President Trump’s first 100 days in office come to an end, here is a complete list of his accomplishments and his resulting impact on the economy and world affairs in this very short period of time:

The US Stock Markets are at record highs and millions of Americans are benefitting in their retirement savings accounts.

* The DOW daily closing stock market average rose more than 15% since the election on November 8th. (On November 9th the DOW closed at 18,332 – on March 1st the DOW closed at 21,115).
* Since the Inauguration on January 20th the DOW rose 6.5%. (It was at 19,827 at January 20th and reached 21,115 on March 1st.)
* The DOW took just 66 days to climb from 19,000 to above 21,000, the fastest 2,000 point run ever. The DOW closed above 19,000 for the first time on November 22nd and closed above 21,000 on March 1st.
* The DOW closed above 20,000 on January 25th and the March 1st rally matched the fastest-ever 1,000 point increase in the DOW at 24 days.
* The US Stock Market gained $2 trillion in wealth since Trump was elected!
* The S&P 500 broke $20 Trillion for the first time in its history.
* In the history of the DOW, going back to January 1901, the DOW record for most continuous closing high trading days was set in January of 1987 when Ronald Reagan was President. The DOW set closing highs an amazing 12 times in a row that month. On February 28th President Trump matched President Reagan when the DOW reached a new high for its 12th day in a row!



President Trump decreased the US Debt in his first 100 days by $100 Billion. (President Obama increased the US debt in his first 100 days by more than $560 Billion.)

The US Manufacturing ••••• soared to a 33 year high in this period which were the best numbers since 1983 under President Reagan.

President Trump added 298,000 jobs in his first month alone (after President Obama said jobs were not coming back!).

Housing sales are red-hot. In 2011, houses for sale were on the market an average 84 days. This year, it’s just 45 days.

Illegal immigration is down 67% since President Trump’s Inauguration.

NATO announced Allied spending is up $10 Billion because of President Trump.

After being nominated by President Trump, Constitutionalist Judge Neil Gorsuch was confirmed and sworn in as Supreme Court Justice in early April.

The President has signed 66 executive orders, memoranda and proclamations as of April 19th, including:

* Notifying Congress of a strike on Syria after it was reported that the country used gas on its citizens.
* Dismantling Obama’s climate change initiatives.
* Travel bans for individuals from a select number of countries embroiled in terrorist atrocities.
* Enforcing regulatory reform.
* Protecting Law enforcement.
* Mandating for every new regulation to eliminate two.
* Defeating ISIS.
* Rebuilding the military.
* Building a border wall.
* Cutting funding for sanctuary cities.
* Approving pipelines.
* Reducing regulations on manufacturers.
* Placing a hiring freeze on federal employees.
* Exiting the US from the TPP.

The first 100 days weren't good for Trump, objectively. And judging by his comments about his learning curve, he knows it. He has one signature accomplishment in confirming Supreme Court Justice Neil M. Gorsuch. But he has no significant legislative victories; three of his big executive orders have been halted by the courts; and His approval rating at 100 days is the lowest of any president in the modern era, By double digits. To top it all off, this was a president who promised to do huge things and do them quickly — now he's breaking promises almost weekly.
To pitch Trump's first 100 days as a success, the White House has resorted to citing Highly misleading statements and even bragging about how many executive orders Trump has signed — executive orders that Trump could sign thousands of if he wanted to and that he referred to in the past asThe sign of a weak president. That just about says it all.

Actually many regard Justice Gorsuch as his greatest negative act. The diplomatic failures will become legend , as will his issues with the judiciary , For the sake of the world I hope he can pull it together . The tax plan seems to advantage the 1 % ers and few else but that seems to fly well in the US.

Well, as we learned during the election 50% of Americans are paying 100% of the taxes, but not their fair share.

Trumpcare made it through the House. Now let's see if the Senate can make it workable. No one yet knows how much it will cost or who will loose coverage.

[Dangler]

Nancy Pelosi seems to know everything about how things will unfold, Pelosi & Maxine Waters will save the day.

[Pirate]

I hope they go slowly and incrementally. (I am more evolutionary than revolutionary.)
Part of the problem with O-care was its hugeness and its impact on so many aspects of people's lives and businesses.
We do not need that kind of cluster-fun again.
In any case, BHO got what he wanted: the U.S. federal government is in the middle of everyone's healthcare whether they want it or not.
Big Brother Lives!

How will this unfold or spread ? Huma Abedin & friends.

On MSNBC on Thursday morning, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) called for a special prosecutor to investigate if Abedin committed a crime by forwarding the classified material.

Hey what's the big deal! I forward classified stuff all the time. Don't you guys get it?
