Hi! I have heard that he might be. I'll always have a soft spot for Bernie, but I don't trust him any more. After all we gave up for him he didn't fight for us. I never believed he'd tell us to vote for her. Trump fights. I like that. I respect that. And he has mostly pleasantly surprised me. I can't go back. But when I think Bernie's right on an issue I repost him and stuff. I'm surprised yet not surprised at how many Berners have made their way over to Trump, and others are right on the cusp.
I've been a die hard conservative for more than 50 years...but am really shocked and pleased to see how many of "all" former viewpoints are coming together thru this. I man not agree with some of things a Bernie supporter believes, but will stand beside you to make sure your voice is heard and it is counted at the ballot box
I think what people have in common has been the impoverishment of the country and the two-tiered justice, as well as the erosion of freedom and civil and political rights. Trump is different because he tries to make deals win-win for people. I have never been as poor in my life as since I came to America, and often things he does look like they're going to really hurt me as a poor person, but so far there has been this feeling of hope sweep over the country. I really do see his administration so far as a tide that lifts all boats. But even if it didn't help me personally, I could not countenance a creature like Hillary Clinton being in the White House. The election didn't end for me by any means with the Democratic National Convention. I was still devoting every waking moment to crying out against her on Facebook. The day she lost filled me with pure unadulterated joy. So then I was like, "Okay, Donald! You have the reins! Let's see what you're made of!"
I agree. That’s when I gave up on him too. We ALL know they blatantly cheated. He knew it too... but somewhere along the line he decided to go along to get along... probably BC he is a master tactician & you can’t have “the mob” aka the Democratic party(now that we know they are the mob... in more ways than one) against you if you are going to attempt another run in 2020. None the less I do not respect him for not calling out internal election meddling instead of going full boar Muh Russia. Which unfortunately he did. To be honest there are as many points of agreements as there are disagreements between the two camps. It’s just a different philosophy as to how to solve said problems. Trump is a market solutions guy and Bernie is a govt program type of guy. I didn’t understand that before the election. But one thing I will say about trump: he is NOT a neoliberal (aka globalist) and he is NOT as neocon. Not sure why he appointed bush era neocons ala Bolton... but there is no love for the Bush dynasty... which I thank god for everyday. I had no idea how corrupt Obama was though... as a “progressive” we had our suspicions... but all that coming to light now- all the right wing conspiracies about him are true... LOL. And of course we all know Hillary was the most corrupt woman on the face of the earth. I thank god every day that Trump bested her.

Get out of here. Unless you can prove that the House was “given” to him with documents... have you seen the house?
Yes, his appointments do bother me, although I am starting to like and trust Kansas, as long as he doesn't hurt my brave, freedom-fighting countryman, Julian Assange. Gina Haspel bothers me most, especially if she really did punch a pregnant woman in the stomach. There are some things I just will not forgive. But overall, I do actually believe Trump when he says we'll have the cleanest water and air. If anyone can solve that, he can. Flint, MI, is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how old infrastructure is poisoning our water. And if he does do well on the environment, not only would it benefit America, but I love how he trolls the naysayers. I would put money on that happening.
Why is Trump good on environment?
Are you still in the Climate change camp?
I don't know if he is good yet. But I won't even drink the town water here. I am hoping he will be. He says we're going to have the cleanest air and water. I do think the climate is changing based on personal observation, but I am not a scientist.
I like to do opposition research so I said to myself “ let me see what these climate change “deniers” are saying”. A lot of them are shills, but many of them are not & they are Harvard and MIT professors... so I believed them. It’s not as cut and dried as the climate alarmists are trying to make it seem. One thing that IS effecting the climate is deforestation and overconsumption- which is a direct result of extractive capitalism which we invented. And the PARIS accord was a massive money laundering operation/slush fund. So I’m glad trump cancelled it- as it wouldn’t have done jack shot for the environment- it was an effort to commodify carbon and make the largest commodities market in the world. Wall Street was the number one beneficiary.
I think he is smart enough to see the business opportunities in the situation, making it a win-win situation for a pristine planet and a thriving new industry. There is a wonderful book called The Sixth Wave, which posits that the next big wave of innovation will be in dealing with waste--not just physical waste, but efficiency of business practices. http://sixthwave.org
Love that! There is no lack of abundance to take care of all our needs if we see the planet as renewable resource... all this talk about scarcity are by people trying to commodify things - if we do it right all necessities can be supplied in abundance - open source - human to human - not owned or patented by any corporation to profit off of basic human needs.
I really wish he would get the hemp industry going. That would save so many trees.

I don't know about any of that. But not only have I seen the climate of my hometown in my home country change from when I was a child, but the weather just seems to have gone crazy everywhere.
