    I predict there will be a big shake up in how entrenched lifer politicians behave. I predict an increase in jobs and an improvement in the US infrastructure. I predict better trade deals for the US and an end to just giving everything away. I predict less foreign assistance with regard to giving away large sums of money without getting anything in return. I predict fewer world police actions where the US goes in without any exit strategy. I predict some smart moves in regard to foreign trade. I predict tougher immigration regulations.

    I do not predict a wall being built at the Mexican border unless it is paid for by trade concessions. I do not predict an end to all divisiveness in the US. I do not predict that all campaign promises will be met.

    I do predict that TD will continue to debate US politics without truly understanding the actual US sentiment that exists within the country. In other words, the board will continue to be great entertainment and amusement for many.

    Don't confuse cunning business acumen and ruthless capitalism with being intelligent.

    As that old Meat Loaf song goes, you took the words right out of my mouth,

    Trump is a ruthless bastard.

    And what's going to be his undoing............He's love for social media.

    The TPP is one great big hoodwink by the US to gain huge advantages in trade over every other country that signs it.

    Other than that, I agree with your predictions below, and they will be good outcomes for the US.

    Once the hyperbole has subsided most presidents are neither as good or bad as partisans imagine.

    He'll have to deal with Fed rate hike
    Israel Iran Russia China issues will continue non intervention and fewer foreign misadventures may be important.
    I doubt he'll put a bounty on the foreign staff unemployed and blacks aren't queueing up for demeaning low paid cleaning fruit picking.

    He'll make errors all presidents do, there can hardly be any scandal, nude 1st lady and pussy groper have set the bar pretty low, his view of foregners except Scots mum is no more extreme than his support.

    He'll retire a real multi billionaire and delegate to drones like Guliani and wannabees like Christie who'll turn up for free lunch, his real opposition wont be SJWs rather the Republican party which must adapt or become the Trumpistas

    Why does he have to always repeat himself? Because he knows his supporters need to hear it twice or thrice for it to sink in.

    We all do it. It's part of the aging process. Stop picking holes in the man. I say 'stop picking holes in the man'.

    Or the ugly, annoying grins every time Trump or anyone else said something she didn't want to hear or didn't agree with. Egotistical twat.

    I'm not saying it was Aliens, but it was Aliens!

    It's going to be an interesting couple of years. I don't think he'll be assassinated, nor do I think he will be impeached. I think it quite possible that those who didn't vote for him will end up better off than those that did vote for him.

    Prediction...mass shootings will continue and tiny tots will continue to innocently shoot their relatives ...

    God Bless America!

    I think you can safely say, his dumb tweet about Obama tapping his phone, will
    be the ............. straw that broke the camel's back
