  I continue to be totally confused about Trump's stance on Russia. Is it total ineptitude or is there really something more going on in that relationship?
  
  O'Reily tossed him a softball and he ends up equating US extra judicial killings (which are bad) to murder of political dissenters and rivals (really really bad). I kind of get his sentiment but the delivery was just moronic. It made it so easy to run a headline saying "Trump thinks US just as bad as Russia". Again it was a softball. Here's a simple answer and I don't consider myself some great PR or Policy wiz. "Of course I do not condone or agree with the actions Russia has taken against political dissenters or their aggressive stance toward former states. It will be the goal of this administration to continue to pressure the Russian government in these areas. I do believe that if we can find a way to reach common ground with Russia in regards to the danger Islamic Terrorism poses to the entire world and ally in the fight against ISIS that we are all the better for it."

  I was polled incessantly, multiple times a day in many cases, about the presidential race. I have not been polled once regarding the temporary restrictions to make the country safer. You figure it out.
  
  Good luck.

  The sad thing is that he's essentially preaching to the choir on that, since so many of his fans are completely swallowing the concept that the only accurate news is what comes directly from him or his mouthpieces, while everything else is a lie.

  Is he wrong that the US is as bad as Russia in many ways? With the influential like George Soros behind a lot of what he's referring to, it's just not as blatant and clear as what he may be referring to about Russia.

  https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-02-06/goldman-sachs-says-trump-rally-curbed-as-economy-lags-enthusiasm
  

  This exuberance is probably peaking, writes Charles Himmelberg, Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s chief credit strategist, who cites several signs of cooling sentiment:
  
  The Conference Board’s measure of consumer expectations for the U.S. economy over the next six months fell to 99.8 in January from 106.4 the prior month, registering its steepest decline in more than a year.
  Retail investors’ preference for stocks over bonds after the election has almost fully reversed, according to Himmelberg, with the four-week trend for mutual-fund flows into U.S. bond funds hitting a six-month high.
  The post-election outperformance of Goldman’s "cyclicals versus defensive" basket of stocks has ceased; it now trails the S&P 500 index’s advance since the election.
  The yield on 10-year Treasury Inflation Protected Securities jumped nearly 60 basis points in the five weeks following Nov. 8, but has since pared nearly half of that move.

  
  Trump 'rally' is over. Also my favorite on the immigration ban:
  

  Jan Hatzius, Goldman’s chief economist, noted separately that immigration restrictions could serve as a meaningful offset to any boost to productive capacity linked to infrastructure spending, tax reform and deregulation that could be achieved over the long haul. Net migration contributes up to one quarter of the U.S. economy’s 1.75 percent potential growth rate, he estimates.

  We have elected the enemy.

  Shows you what he knows ..."1.75% potential growth rate" .............. he has lived under obama's marxism far too long. Good thing Donald is removing the shackles.

  Obama averaged 1.9% GDP growth in his 8 years.
  
  Trump peaked at 1.75% and Goldman Sachs is estimating him at 1.5% due to his anti-capitalism immigration policies.

  A valid point if your IQ is under 70. So I can see why you'd say it.

  He'll average 3-3.5% over the course of his term. By the the latter part of 2019, 4-5% is likely.
