How does any of this affect my rights, my stature in society, or my wallet? All have gone down the toilet since Trump has taken office.

We shall wait and see what relief men have in the coming year. All I see is more foreigners, more anti-male everything, more Trump supporters getting beaten up, more election losses to democrats, more Trump loyalists getting kicked to the curb by Trump himself, arrested, indited, and having their property seized, and more useless women heading major government agencies that f~~~ me over.

Seems Trump has gotten completely rid of every single man on whose back he climbed to make President: Lewindowsky, Christie, Manafort, Alex Jones, Gorka, Bannon, Roger Stone, Scaramuchi, Sherrif Joe, Michael Savage, etc… and promoted only enemies, vaginas, and democrat plants.

I view only the results of a man’s actions to determine his motives. Trump’s election has been dismal for men.

The economic relief I seek has not come. I understand he is feeling things out, but every week (literally) it’s another unforced error and another women or foreigner heading up some agency.

Trump has the power to shut the government down, fire all the democrats in government, blanket pardon all of us for not paying the Obamacare penalty, enforce the rule of law over corrupt judges, execute all illegals (who have no constitutional rights like citizens), and to use the laws and patriot Act to protect us from traitors, and to arrest infidels in the government.

Everytime Trump needs to make a decision, he asks a democrat lawyer if it’s ok for him to do it. That’s not what I and sixty-five million voters signed up for.

Thank you. This was not an easy post.

A lot of effort went into this matter.

Thank you.

If what you are doing is working, do not change a thing.

Thugs in China who shoplifted? Thinking blacks would like him? And then their father insulted Trump for the whole nation to see? That totally ruined all our negotiating power while Trump was in China at the time. I believe China’s negotiating leverage over the United States was Trump’s number one campaign issue.

Well, there goes any and all negotiating leverage we had over China.

In big part, just like Obama, he was elected because he said he would make a break from our long standing foreign policy of intervention everywhere.

And just like Obama, nothing doing on that front. I got to say though, at least they did’nt give him a Nobel Peace Prize yet to strut around with while all the same wars, and maybe even more (NK) continue. In fact Trump doubled down in Afghanistan, military spending, and all around really, just like Obama.

Now, to be honest, at this point you would have to be a f~~~ing fool to believe that the people of the U.S. or the Presidents they elect for that matter have any say in it. Rogue State at this point really, no other way around it.

I doubt he gets a second term as the Republican party has been moving more and more towards Libertarian candidates, and he talked a good game riding the wave Paul had built, and got elected, but has delivered nothing on the foreign policy front. I predict one and done.
