Today was another refreshing "first" for our amazingly energetic and smart President. President Trump gave his press secretary Sean Spicer a break, by holding today's daily press briefing for him.
What followed what the REAL DONALD TRUMP.. The man that 63 million Americans elected to the Presidency. It brought a chuckle, when President Trump opened by saying that he's still trying to come to grips with the fact that he's now a "Politician".
Full Press Conference Video: www.youtube.com...
One of my favorite segments was President Trump calling out CNN for focusing on minor issues, 20 hours a day, if they make him, or his administration, or his supporters look bad. We all know this, but the CNN guy looked like he had no idea.
I think President Trump should do the "daily briefing" at least once a month. Describe in person what he IS DOING to make America even greater.

???????????????????
He veered from topic to topic erratically, asked an African-American reporter if she knew members of the Congressional black caucus (and if she could set up a meeting with them), outright lied about the size of his electoral college victory and provided late night comedians with an ocean of material allowing them to make fun of him. He made a fool out of himself. And you think that's good thing?

At the rate he's going, he'll either resign in incomprehension at what he can't get done or be impeached. Which would be a good thing as he's a national embarrassment.

President Trump has now accomplished more for Americans in 70 days than President Obama did in 70 months.
Check out this list! www.whitehouse.gov...
Job Retention, Job Creation, Consumer Confidence, all of our Retirement Accounts, are improving at record paces!
Even the "Anti-Trumpers" are starting to benefit, as evidenced by their lack of street protests. As President Trump famously said during his Presidential campaign, "I'm going to raise the tide, which will lift all Americans."
The one sticky point is the cost of American's healthcare, and the Death Spiral that ObamaCare is in. President Trump understands this and wants to stop the carnage ASAP. That's why he's been meeting with experts of all kinds this past week, to get things fixed RIGHT.
President Trump was once again spot-on when he ordered that the American Health Care Act bill be shelved, without a vote. The AHCA would have made things WORSE in America. Donald J. Trump is all about keeping his CORE PROMISES to the American people.
So far, he gets an A+ in that regard!

The republicans are responsible for Obama care failing.
Between not fully supporting it in their states and Marco Rubio getting risk corridors removed . They are intentionally making premiums Sky rocket in order to make Obama care look bad. Which then causes less people to get it and causes premiums to go even higher.
The new bill got shelved because Trump couldn't get enough votes to get it approved. Some say it's because the tax cuts didn't favor the wealthy and the insurance companies enough. Others say because it went to far.
Either way repealing Obama care isn't the solution. Fully supporting the system and expanding medicare as was intended when medicare was created. Anything else will only benefit the insurance companies.

People expect menial jobs to pay the bills and complain about low wages instead of focusing on their education in order to get a better paying job.

It's important that the MANDATE portions of ObamaCare be repealed. The MANDATES are what takes away individual freedom, and makes Obamacare health policies insanely expensive.
Replace ObamaCare with a combo Medicare-Medicaid-FreeMarket system and most people will be happy. Most..not all. You'll never get 100% satisfaction with anything.
Only an Indian can make America great again,any other fantasy in this time frame is really an uncivilized fantasy ,in the real reality, of time and life...Period!

Excerpt/Quote:
Donald Trump said in an interview that economic conditions are so perilous that the country is headed for a “very massive recession” and that “it’s a terrible time right now” to invest in the stock market, embracing a distinctly gloomy view of the economy that counters mainstream economic forecasts.
The New York billionaire dismissed concern that his comments — which are exceedingly unusual, if not unprecedented, for a major party front-runner — could potentially affect financial markets.
“I know the Wall Street people probably better than anybody knows them,” said Trump, who has misfired on such predictions in the past. “I don’t need them.”
Trump’s go-it-alone instincts were a consistent refrain — “I’m the Lone Ranger,” he said at one point — during a 96-minute interview, in which he talked candidly about his aggressive style of campaigning and offered new details about what he would do as president.
Full Story (mod note: in the Washington Post) : In a revealing interview, Trump predicts a ‘massive recession’ but intends to eliminate the national debt in 8 years
Comment:
The Washington Post seems to be amazed that a front-runner for Republican nomination would speak so frankly and candidly about his belief.. that a major U.S. Recession is imminent. Maybe they forgot who was being interviewed, LOL. Donald Trump also says that he will eliminate the USA's debt by the end of his second term.
Personally, I prefer Donald Trump's Presidential goals, over Ted Cruz's. Ted wants to totally wipe out agencies... like the IRS, Planned Parenthood, Obamacare. Mr. Trump wants to build and modernize infrastructures. This will create tons of jobs both directly, and indirectly. It would be really great if these two could "bury the hatchet", and run on the same ticket as Pres/VicePres.
At any rate, it's refreshing to see Donald Trump return to focusing on what he wants to do, instead of responding to inflammatory/trick questions from immature people who are pretending to be reporters.
