DECISION AMERICA 2016: The Election Results Thread

[S Landreth]

Looks like it’ll be a long 4 years for the apologists

A 100 day ,....

Fail

73,648,797 voters didn’t vote for trump. They might have seen something in him they didn’t like,……

But 62,979,616 (46.1%) voters fell for it

So what has trump accomplished during the first 100 days?

Middle Class Tax Relief and Simplification Act? (nope)

End the Offshoring Act? (nope)

American Energy and Infrastructure Act? (nope)

School Choice and Education Opportunity Act? (nope)

Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act? (nope)

Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act? (nope)

End Illegal Immigration Act? (nope)

Restoring Community Safety Act? (nope)

Restoring National Security Act? (nope)

Clean Up Corruption in Washington Act? (nope)

Nada. trump is off to a wonderful start with a republican house and senate.

Because of the above (lack of any accomplishments) Trump has signed some executive orders which should help our children’s future (clean air/water - greenhouse gas emissions - fuel standards – etc.). Something to look forward to?

On jobs,.trump said he would create 25 million jobs in 10 years (208,333 jobs per month). Some might say these employment numbers should be credited to Obama, but trump is claiming that he is behind the good reports. Let’s go with that and see where trump stands on what he told his supporters (chumps) and reality.

Reality: He's off track

, trump promised? No. Mexico will not be paying for it. Trump wants Americans to foot the bill.

However, Trump did get his supreme court nominee in through the back door. A bit of an embarrassing way to get it done, but he/his supporters can say they have a win.

The majority of American voters were correct. They/we did not want trump.

Trump will be the biggest popular vote loser in raw numbers ever to reach the White House.
