Donald trump

What a great speech!
he called out politicians, he claimed God as our protector and basically said he is in this until his last drop of energy is spent for our well being!

Good luck !

I hope he sticks to the promises he made on the campaign trail and during the speech.

Republicans also have the house and the senate so I don't foresee a lot of the obstruction we had the last two terms. Only time will tell but I'm sure his agenda will be mostly carried out.

As for him keeping his promises.... He's already broken a few and has a few on the right scratching their head... But honestly, the same can be said for everyone in Washington. As an American I don't want my president to fail. But he and his team have to stop all the lying. In this day and age where we can fact from the palm of our hands.... no one has any business lying.

So what perceived lies is he guilty of and what promises has he broke? He has already done more for this country in his few days of Presidency than anyone had hoped.

Really? Are you serious? Have you drank that much of the kool aid? My post was in no way bent to bash Trump or start an argument, I was stating the facts so I won't even address the latter part of your reply to me.

Concerning the former..... I'm surprised I even have to type this. We're all adults here and although we may or may not have political ideological differences Im saddened that some people lack the objectivity, rationale and maturity to call a spade a spade.

What sickens me about Trumps lying and the people who repeat these lies is that they're all trivial lies. But thats whats scary... If he's willing to lie about small things of no importance and things that can be "easily" fact checked like losing the popular vote to illegal voting, inauguration attendance or even the weather for that matter, then what would he say about potential wars, attacks, etc?

And concerning broken campaign promises, hows asking congress to pay for his wall and not making Mexico foot the bill? Or his flip flop on appointing judges to reverse gay marriage or indicting Hillary Clinton, for a start?

Look, you're a Trump supporter.... I get that. Now that he's my president I want him to succeed. I need him too! But we have to hold him and all other politicians accountable. It's our job to hold our elected officials to higher standards.... And petty lying and tweeting every time someone offends him is beneath the oval office.

Why not include Fox News or MSNBC? Surely you don't think they're unbiased and real?


Denzel said it best...
"If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you do read it, you're misinformed."

I have always heard it was FOX that was the awful news? But more recently CNN, MSNBC and ABC.

Personally I have never trusted the Huffington Post.
