Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States on Friday, outlining his forceful vision of a national populism echoing the same “America first” catchphrases that swept him to victory last November. In his first address as chief executive, Trump pledged that his inauguration will mark a moment in history when “the forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.” Read full article

    Trump signs sweeping order that could gut Obamacare

    THIS is a test.

    IF his plans are better/cheaper than Obamacare; the voters can BEGIN to believe in his capacities.

    BUT:

    Will he really deliver?

    So, Trump wants to take away power from the elected government and hand it to 'the people'. Let's ponder that for a moment. The people elected by the people are there in D.C. as their representatives. Is Trump intending to take the power from the elected representatives and transfer it to ……… Trump. He has already hinted that only he can fix the country. Only he can make America Great Again. Only he can be allowed power. Poor America has put a dictator in place. Fortunately enough U.S. citizens - the majority - did not vote for him and are unlikely to allow him see his plan through. Interesting times ahead.

    Perhaps he is the only one that can do it,
    far to hard on him,

    he should be given a chance to prove himself,
    if he turns out to be a good president, then elect him for another four years just like Obama

    if he fails miserably then the Americans can either impeach him [if he is that bad ] or vote him out in four years time,

    after all, Obama was no devil but was no angel. Either.

    CFK thinks Trump is a great wondrous thing because he goes against the media, and his ideas make sense too.

    I am going to have fun with Americans the next 4 years!

    @TTT

    With your tunnel vision of hatred you don't seem to realise that people make fun of Trump in the same way we made fun of CFK. Even in the U.S. more people voted for Clinton than Trump so you are actually joining the majority view.

    Trump: “Just only one week after my coronation, I promise you my fellow Americans, the entirety of China will fall into a major slump. Factories will shut, shops close, markets will be halted, and government will cease operating. Those with wealth will flee with their money overseas, including America, doors all across that country will be plastered with red notices, and gunpowder will tinge the air. People will have no jobs and sit idle, and just drink. Children will roam the streets asking for packets of money. We will make America Great Again!”

    Trump aide: “Sire... That's just hmmm, Chinese New Year.”
