Will Trump be the New Reagan?

[Super-Surprise]

Donald Trump is much more intelligent than most people give him credit for.
He surrounded himself with many very good politicos and advisors in order to win this election. Granted he does not have much in the way of past political experience himself, he does have an uncanny sense for the business of "winning" and how to accomplish things. He will assuredly hire the correct people to fill the many important roles he will need to assist him as President.

He has most certainly been underestimated by a very large portion of the intellectual and political communities. Given the opportunity he now has in front of him, I believe he will continue to surprise a great many people over the course of the next four years. Not withstanding all of his other failings and transgressions, I believe he will make a for a very good President.

Most people do not appreciate all the hard work, planning and strategy that went into his successful run over the last eighteen months.

I just hope there aren't any assassination attemps made on his life. And that his long-term health and personal business interests do not clash too much with his new responsibilities.

(Revisit this post annually over the next four years.)

Lowering taxes means increasing deficits. The only way to lower deficit is to increase taxes. No government has been able to solve that dilemma yet. In any country, under any system.

Exactly right. And they never will cause you cant have both sides. So the right bitched for 8 years about the deficit and now....they want to raise it more. Fucking brilliant

Since President Obama took office, the national debt has increased by $7.4 trillion.

I guess he was "Reaganesque..."

Do the math for us please.

I did....only 70% increase and that was handed to him on a silver platter by the previous administration. Facts are freely available. By the way....the topic is about whether donald will be another ronald. My bet is yep....and so is the markets

I think Trump would rather prefer to be Trump.

By the way, has anyone noticed how he has dropped the hate, the misogynistic comments, the racism since he won?

He (I hate to admit it) even looks Presidential now.

Maybe he put on an act to ensure he got the young, white, working class, racist, misogynistic mostly males in the rust and wheat belts to vote for him.
Now he doesn't need them as much.
Now, he just might morph into one of the 'elites' he despised all along.

Poor suckers!

I'd think more like Nixon.

A Brit

Donald Trump is an exceptional business man, and with the help of the people who voted for him, America is now his Company to run, im quite excited to see how he gets on, but im sure of this, he will put America first
Now im just a young British girl who hasn't really lived yet, but I think he will work for your country. Just my opinion.

Hillary was Nixon in a pantsuit...

You are both economically obtuse arguing from a static model and not a dynamic model nor are you paying attention to the history of tax cuts which, in my lifetime, the Democrats/Liberals used to be for. "A rising tide..."

Yes. He's try9ing to unite. If he does, and still delivers, very few will be upset other than the blind partisan haters who have been bashing Reagan all day long.

Hell, I used to be a Democrat and I used to hate Reagan, but now I see, that in so many respects, I was simply wrong and merely in tune with my peer group. I was not thinking as an individual...

Of course that was the plan!

Unfortunately these people you spoke of have many guns and much hope and little brains and things will not get better when it finally sinks in they've been flim-flammed.

Which leads to my question: Donald isn't stupid so what is his (already thought out) plan to head off the angry little masses?

 

[KingOrfeo]

Reagan's success was based in large part on charm, which Trump distinctly lacks.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Somebody is putting on an alt-fest...

 

[Green_Knight]

Will Trump be the New Reagan?

No, more a cross between Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon.

Glad to see that the British electorate is not the only fucked-up one in the world. It's getting bad when China seems to be the only country with a tolerable government.

Oh....the dynamic model that includes global markets? The one he promises to rewrite to be great for america? God you are stupid. Cant even support your own argument without hanging yourself. Thanks for proving my statement

I rather like mine!

The one thing I remember about Reagan is that pretty much everyone thought he was crazy enough to push the button.

 

[Hypoxia]

Donald Trump is an exceptional business man,

Incorrect. Tromp was a lousy businessman who subsisted on bankruptcies, defaults, bailouts, and litigation. He lost money selling liquor and gambling in good times! He was a splashy showman who franchised his name -- and STILL managed to lose money. His plan to handle USA's national debt is yet another default. Ouch.

 

[Ms_Ann]

Maybe he'll just file for Chapter 11.

It's already occurring. Have you not seen the exuberance? Have you not seen Mexico and Canada being amenable to renegotiating NAFTA?

That's dynamism moron.

Putin wants to thaw relations; he would have warred on the neocon Hillary. Iran would have gone to town.

How's that going to created healthier "global" economies?

It's time to resurrect an old Lit term, FUCKTARD!

The most interesting thing I have seen as a result of the election of Trump is how quickly the country is turning from the 1st world democratic leader to a fucked up 3rd world cot case.

The fall will be magnificent to watch from afar. I'm so pleased our government has responded by reducing the number of immigrants we will accept in the future. I would hate to have that poison infiltrating our country by stealth.
