You just missed step two:
I wonder if he is going to do anything about IT offshoring - since it is not really a "product" that comes back in many cases. The Disney case comes to mind because a lot of that was "cloud" based.
Yeah I work for a financial services company and we are in the process of opening up a new legal entity in India. We are going to build a building that will hold 6,000 employees. We have 30,000 FTe worldwide.
He said something about making a run for the border, but that might have just been a Taco Bell run
Notice that there wasn't any language in there about punishing employers who hire undocumented immigrants? That's the litmus test on this issue IMO. If you really want to stop the flow of illegals that's the only way to do it.
I thought he financed most of his campaign himself?

honest question, are silencers used a lot in hunting? why is this bill so important to people?Very excited for stupid $200 tax stamp and 6 month waiting period for suppressors to be removed via the Hearing Protection Act. Bill has already been drafted and backed but a ton of guys... with a Republican White house, Senate, and House, I expect this to be a done deal QUICK.
Silencers for ERRYBODY!
Have you ever spent a day at the range?
I did like that fact that he had so many items listed so that there could be something concrete to get into, but then I read the first one and thought "oh, good, let's put the most impossible one first."
They have nice hearing protection options, but it makes it difficult to converse. Not to mention long term hearing damage for high-volume shooters (officers/special forces/military).
I dont think there are many politicians these days that care about children, other than their own.
Yeah c'mon guys. We should just let Mein Drumpf play out. What could go wrong in targeting groups of people as the problem? Why are you against the guy who has beautiful, and believe me they are beautiful, solutions? Don't you want to make Ger...er...America great again?
It's much easier to follow if you understand the code he's using. When he says "impose term limits" he's referring to abortion; "lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying for foreign governments" means "block minorities at every turn", and the rest of the plan is just various and assorted LGBT issues he's going to outlaw.
Let's just focus on a few hours and a few specific proposals instead of the 18 months of xenophobic rhetoric he made as the cornerstone of his campaign. Here's a hint: it wasn't term limits or opposing lobbyists that drew all this people to his rallies. Build the Wall! was the dog whistle battle cry intended to stir emotions of those looking to blame the problems of their everyday life on somebody, anybody. Those dirty brown people must be to blame! Fear and hate mongering has a nasty history, one played out to extremes in Germany not so long ago. Here's to hoping that the good that is still out there amongst the majority of the American people will ultimately triumph over this nasty underbelly of our society.
The nasty underbelly of society all voted for Clinton, look at the maps, she won all the big cities. The rest of the states went Trump.
I believe, contrary to the actual outcome of the election, that common sense still exists and NO WAY will the horrific outcomes the Left expects will happen. Anyone who voted for him thinking he was an instrument of change already must be having some buyer's remorse, since the news has been reporting that he's conferring with "Washington insiders" to choose his cabinet and other key positions, as well as floating out there the chairman of JP Morgan as his Secretary of the Treasury.
There's a lot of population in this category - are you categorizing everyone who lives in large urban areas as "the nasty underbelly?"
Of course not, there are a lot of good people living in the big cities but a sizable and larger majority of the people living in the city are indeed the nasty underbelly. I will even take out the west coast and the Northeast states because they are just so liberal they have no choice in their warped minds. Everything else is viable.
Suffice it to say I disagree with your assessments here. I think you're making the same mistake you've accused "the left" of making in regards to overly broad stereotypes and resulting intolerance.
This is a well thought out post. Thank you. I agree with much of it. I'm going to hope for the best but it's very hard, even putting all the racism, sexism, etc dog whistles aside. Alot of his proposals are very hard for me to get behind. Ignoring climate change is one. Starting trade wars is another. Walking away from our traditional allies and cozying up to Russia a third. Throwing away the Iranian deal and encouraging them to ramp up their nuclear program yet another. There doesn't appear to be a rational cautious approach to him when it comes to some pretty important issues. IMO that does not bode well for the foreseeable future.Charlie Steiner said:
Rumors of looking into renegotiating NAFTA. TPP isn't law yet so there isn't much of a rush there.
No. My guess is it'll be like the wall, immigration, and the like...he'll say he wants to meet with the Mexican Pres. They'll sit down at some point and Mexico will give some concessions and call it a victory.
Mexico will build the wall and pay for it.
