DONALD TRUMP IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE OR A LIBERAL, SO WHAT IS HE?

…What the infamous border wall will look like

 

Trump falsely called all reporters “very dishonest people”.

 

I have been wondering, “Has anyone else asked themselves, how is Donald Trump going to deal with all the promises he keeps making?”

 

Trumps falsehoods continue as he makes his victory tour visiting those same states he won.  It’s like he loves the adulation of the crowds so much, why not just keep the game going?   He’s acting like he doesn’t want the bright lights and crowds to stop, so just keep giving them what they want, even if it’s all a bunch of bunk.

 

Trump continued his lying by claiming to have won the election in a historic landslide, though Hillary Clinton received 2.8 million more votes and he didn’t have that many more electoral votes. He renewed his attack against the news media, pointing at reporters and falsely calling them “very dishonest people.” He then offered a “thank you to the African American community” who he claims “didn’t come out to vote” for Clinton.

 

He even went after the House Speaker Paul Ryan when Ryan had said , in a “60 Minutes” interview, that the border wall Trump promises to build might actually be a mere fence in some places.

 

In Ryan’s home state, the crowd booed when Trump mentioned the Speaker’s name. Trump protested the boos, saying he has come to “appreciate” Ryan and comparing him to “a fine wine” that improves with age. But then he added: “Now, if he ever goes against me, I’m not going to say that, okay?”

 

But look at some of the other items that Trump has promised: He promised the unrealistic border wall, and he is so naïve he will expect Congress to actually let him build it. He promised punishments like tariffs for companies that moved jobs overseas. He then promised a trillion-dollar program to improve the nation’s infrastructure, not having a clue as to where the money would come from. He promised massive, budget-busting tax cuts for corporations, the wealthy and the middle class. He then promised to repeal the Affordable Care Act, but to simultaneously replace it, vowing that those with pre-existing conditions will still be able to get health insurance.

 

Trump even promised during his victory tour to establish safe zones for civilians in Syria.  This would presumably require the US to work with Putin, who supports the continued rule of the disgusting Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. Are we ready for that?  Are the Republicans OK with that? Have any of them seriously looked at the horrific pictures coming from Aleppo?

 

In talking about foreign policy, Trump has pledged even more radical departures from the normal Republican establishment. He wants a closer, more cooperative relationship with Russia.  Could one reason be because the Russian President Vladimir Putin had his intelligence agents work so hard to get Trump elected, and that’s according to the CIA and the FBI. As a reward for that, for secretary of state, Trump has chosen a man on whom Putin has bestowed the Russian Order of Friendship.  What is going on here?

 

The GOP at some point is going to have to choose what kind of party they are because their new guy at the top, is anything but a Republican and a conservative.
