Let me preface this by saying I was no fan fan of Hillary and really saw this last election as a no-win situation, but I gotta ask. Are you folks that support (ed) Trump really that steadfast? Do you not see the way he is conducting himself? Are you really buying the fake news crap and the Obama wiretapping?
Here's a question. Are any of you wavering in your support?
Honestly, are any of you in the least critical?
I expected Trump's first months would be chaotic. I'm hopeful he will focus his attention, in time, away from a lot of futile foreign imperial sabre rattling and deliver on his campaign promises, which are rooted primarily in economic nationalism; rebuilding of an integrated, industrial American economy and investing in it's highly degraded infrastructure. There's only one way of doing that, bringing back a permanent and sufficient regime of tariffs, and reestablishing sovereign regulatory control of banking, markets and currency.
I can't say i'm surprised or disillusioned as of now. AND i know Hillary Clinton would have been an absolute disaster. She is a dedicated, global, Free Market capitalist subservient to, in fact owned by, the big supranational banks. She would have accelerated the unravelling of the moral and economic fabric of America. Hillary is completely under the tutelage of her husband, wild Bill, the most radical of all post nationalist, post structuralist and Free Market Presidents since the paradigm descended on us in the early 70s.
I think Trump blunted the onslaught of the Free Market ideology, confused the NeoCon and NeoLib movements of both parties that support it, and reinserted some moral sense to governance. All for the good. But he's going to be measured on what he accomplishes. His reputation and reelection are dependent on that. I don't expect perfection from Donald, i do expect action and results.
