I'd much prefer he appoint experienced politicians to the cabinet (like he's doing). I'd prefer he learn from others. What I'm pointing at is none of that has anything to do with 'shaking up the system' or 'draining the swamp.' Can Trump somewhere down the line put forward an initiative that can make significant change to the system? I hope so, sure.
But this is the thing dude, the guy isn't even in office yet. Massive scale political change ain't going to just 'happen' overnight is it? Give the bloke a chance to actually do something first.
Fair enough, if after 4 years the American economy is in the shitter, politics is as corrupt as it's always been, go for it. Absolutely crucify the guy. But he isn't even in power yet.
Quote:And for the record, his lobbying ban doesn't do nearly as much as some people think it does, but it is a good start. If it materializes into something more forceful, I'd happily chalk that up in the "Impressive" column for Trump.
Maybe not but give the guy credit for actually trying to deliver on a promise. He's already done more than Hillary has ever done in her entire political career to tackle this issue and like I said above, he isn't even in the job yet lol.
I think time will ultimately tell. As I see it there's a lot of whining and scaremongering and criticism but to be frank it's all just an echochamber of unchallenged thought that the media perpetuates. I for one am very interested in what the next four years holds, and I don't think it's going to be world war 3.
