What do you think the next four years will be like?

[lspencer534]

Trump will obviously be President (knock on wood...I won't rest easy until the Electoral College votes for him). IMO, he's selecting a great Cabinet, just the way he staffs his companies: He picks the very best people, even former rivals. But there is so much wrong in this Country that needs fixing, such as:

1. Keeping jobs here and creating new ones.

2. Illegal immigrants.

3. Terrorism/Radical Muslims.

4. Too many people not working/on Welfare.

5. Lazy, trouble-making, paid protestors.

6. Racism exacerbated by Obama.

7. Lack of respect for police, the Flag, etc.

8. The National Debt/Deficit.

9. Re-negotiating Trade Agreements, etc.

Some, maybe most, of the influx of terrorists can be fixed by Executive Order. The Mexico Wall, while a good idea, will cost over $40B to build and will take years to complete. In the meantime, we need more Border Agents...which cost money.

I'm not too worried about Trump filling vacancies on the U.S. Supreme Court with Conservatives; the Democrats will fight him, but their own changes to the House and Senate Rules will come back to haunt them. I feel much relieved that we'll have a Conservative Court for next generation.

Getting people to respect the police/the Flag/ending racism are much trickier. Can it be done? How? Getting people off Welfare and making them work is theoretically possible...but they've been on the dole for so long that it's almost a National institution. There will be much resistance.

We'll be spending more money at least for a while. How do we reduce the National Debt? Can it even be done? Don't get me wrong: I'm so happy I could shit that Trump and not Hillary won...but the fact that she won the popular vote just shows how low this County has sunk.

What are your predictions?

All interesting points.

The one thing that is seldom addressed in these type of posts is one of the few things that probably can't be fixed; the media machine.

Our media is actively brain washing people every second of the day.
Even if Trump makes the US a virtual Utopia, the media will still:

1. Credit Obama for "handing Trump a strong economy"
2. Maintain racial division
3. Promote "outrage" and shove every sexual variety down our throats
4. Work every angle to destroy and undermine the family system
5. Desensitize our youth to sex and violence
6. Emasculate men and portray women as using sex for power

And the list goes on.

I see this as the #1 most serious problem in the long run. It's the "machine" that runs day and night with an agenda and they are brutally effective yet in such a quiet manner.

I think the enemy has breached the wall surrounding this last bastion of freedom.

I can't help but agree...but why is the media machine doing this? Are they just basically evil like Hillary, or is their an agenda? What do they hope to get out of it?

He has the ability, the right cabinet, the Republican advantage, all the ingredients for a successful 4 years EXCEPT that it will all constantly be overshadowed and disrupted by the idiot sore losers. They will prevent his progress and then claim he couldn't do the job. This will go on for two years. Year three will be hopeful and year 4 will have some super Dem start spouting off and no one will listen to Trump anymore.

How do I know? I have a highly politically charged Ouija board.

Ratings don't go up by reporting peace and harmony.

I hope the hell better than the last 8.

I'd guess there are a multitude of reasons; primarily self serving.

In my opinion the bottom line motivator is dark forces at work beyond our earthly realm.

It's no secret DJT has little use for the MSM. Plans are already underway to it's marginalization.

The RNC chairman said they were even “looking at things like the daily White House briefing from the press secretary. I mean, there’s a lot of different ways that things can be done, and I can assure you we’re looking at that.”
