I am watching my varied Sunday political shows and even those to the left are saying that the 100 day thing is unrealistic and not a good judge of a POTUS's performance. |

The initial tax reform proposals are pretty frightening. Steve Mnuchin and Gary Cohn should know better, but the temptation to give themselves a financial windfall may be too great. Corporate taxes are in need of reform. without question, but with corporate profits high and consumers struggling, taking money out of the hands of workers and the middle class would throw the country into recession. We are already seeing the anticipated cyclic downturn. Her is another question Do you really want eliminate the deduction for state and local taxes? It seems like a good idea until one realizes that the 10 states with high state taxes generate over 40% of U.S. GDP and California, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, and New Jersey all contribute more in federal tax receipts than they receive back in federal spending. We already know that Congressmen don't understand economics. Now, we have a POTUS who managed to go bankrupt several times while running casinos. His rhetoric seems to indicate that he doesn't understand basic supply and demand equations. The Republican Party has promised that tax cuts would pay for themselves via increased economic growth for the last 37 years, but all we have gotten is ballooning deficits and increasing economic inequality. (Sorry, too many Econ courses and years spent as a "controller," which has to be the most misleading job title ever created.) |

Maybe some of Trump's *experts* will end up being forced out because of this. I've never understood how anyone can be allowed a 'waiver' when it comes to ethics.

The only one worse.
So Andrew Jackson was a "tough guy with a big heart" who could have stopped the Civil War?
In his admiration for Jackson is Trump forgetting all that "Ol' Hickory" really was. He was a slave-owner and a shamelessly corrupt self-promoter who had his own likeness installed to replace the original figurehead of the USS Constitution. His claim to fame, the Battle of New Orleans, was so badly bungled by the British forces that it was a battle impossible for Jackson to lose, and was, taken in context, meaningless since it took place weeks after the War of 1812 had ended. Most importantly, Jackson was a fucking war-criminal who enslaved free-blacks, and executed native and white prisoners during the illegal invasion of Florida and the Seminole Wars. Jackson was, as I may have written earlier, the only person worse than Donald Trump to be elected President. Begs the question: is Trump's admiration for Jackson ignorant, baffling, or just obvious? |

Ignorant. Jackson died in 1845, 16 years before the Civil War commenced.

Donald Trump: I would be honoured to meet Kim Jong-un
US President Donald Trump has said he would be "honoured" to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, in the right circumstances.
"If it would be appropriate for me to meet with him, I would - absolutely. I would be honoured to do it," he told news organisation Bloomberg on Monday. The previous day he described Mr Kim as a "pretty smart cookie". The comments come amid escalating tensions over North Korea's nuclear programme.
