The Trump Presidency 2017

[Gmd]

I honestly thought his whole, lets build a wall and let the Mexicans pay for it was to gain mass media attention. But now that its actually happening, I truly cant understand this man. Mexico refuses to pay for it (as they should) so Trump is planning to "front" the money from the US in expectation that it will be payed back by Mexico. As a businessman does he not see how much of a terrible business deal any of this is?
The other thing i can't stand is his constant twitter responses to the slightest bit of hate towards him, surely a president should be above such petty behavior, but he acts like a 12 year old on social media, responding to everyone's opinions against him.

Split to new topic so we have a thread for the Trump presidency separate to election discussion.

Not going to comment beyond the moderation action for now because too tired to get into a potential political argument, though everyone knows what I think about all this anyway.

I don't think I've really weighed in on Trump discussions other than to say he was going to win.

More proof if needed that America's politics are borked.

Well, as of today Trump's approval sits at a glorious -14. The worst Obama ever hit was around -16, during his second term - Trump is barely out of what would usually be considered his honeymoon period. It's not looking great for the big orange fellow...
