It was amazing to hear her messages not only change depending on who she was addressing, but making promises to one group and then basically breaking that promise the next day or so in promising something to another group that contradicted the first one.

It was pathetic

Sounds like the NDP. Horgan promises to be all things to all people. You can't. Either you support industry or you support NIMBYS.

But do you see the President of the United States when he speaks ?

the micro expressions, smug, snide etc. are amazing. He thinks he's brilliant and he loves the poorly educated for a reason.

Northern Ontario,
Trump should get out of that constant Campaign mode that he's in with all the rallies he's holding!
To run for political office you have to be somewhat of a narcicist
But like Trudeau and his constant posing for any camera, .......this is a bit much...

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.

I find there are one or two important facts that the majority of posters on this forum are missing and they just keep repeating the same old misnomers over and over ad nauseum. Trump has several advisors telling him how to act and what to say. These advisors have facts on their side as proven by the results that immerged in the wee hours of November 9. We have really no way of knowing (as his advisors do) the exact makeup of the segment(s) of society he must try to appeal to. 40% acceptability three months after the election has very little to do about anything. 40% acceptability three months before the election would be a sign to start improving. Anyway going by what has happened so far is a good indicator that Trump is smart and Hillary is stupid. :) :) :)

clearly he doesn't listen to his advisors or they're as ignorant as he is.

@ OP
On the performance side of things, Trump (like him or not) has been working hard to generate results in a short period of time.. Agree or disagree with his policies, he is taking fast action to implement them.
.

Working hard as in golfing every week and spending most of the rest of his time watching TV, tweeting, and attending rallies so he can bask in all the cheers?

She was a pretty girl in a collapsing country, so she made the same deal many pretty girls do. Hard to blame her for that.

she was following a biological imperative. I just don't think she was expecting her choice to become sooo public forcing her into such a public role.

She just looks very very unhappy.
