Trump the Uniter
In a CBS Face the Nation, Trump previously said "I mean, I get along with people. I'm a unifier. I'm very much a unifier." "And maybe people don't see that. But they will see that."
This then is the topic that those Trump supporters can spell out now (and as time goes on), just how Trump is UNITING this great Nation.

Don't expect a reasoned response.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Trump the Uniter
I will actually give Trump some credit for what (at least I believe) that most people want which is that of blocking current political appointees of taking advantage of lobbying for foreign entities. I give him credit for signing the EO, BUT without Congress strengthening the lobbyist definitions under the LDA (Lobbying Disclosure Act) it could be rather toothless as the article below goes on to explain. Will Trump badger Congress to change the LDA. Stay tuned. We don't know the answer to that one yet.

Re: Trump the Uniter
I don't see any activity on Trump's part that reaches out.
Still waiting for a Trump fan to weigh in with some examples.

So would I. The President has a right to fulfill his promises to his "failthful", but part of being a President is being a President for ALL of the people and given that he has claimed to be a "uniter" hopefully his faithful can point to those things he has done or has in the works that will accomplish this very thing.

Re: Trump the Uniter
Looks like Trump is working up to suggesting that we get rid of the Judicial Branch of government.
Hey, "I alone can fix this".
Trump continues criticism of federal judge
President Trump doubled-down on his online criticism of Judge James Robart on Sunday, saying the federal judge and the court would be to blame “if something happens.”
“Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad!” Trump tweeted on Sunday afternoon.

Re: Trump the Uniter
Guess we are NOT going to get any positive thoughts on how Trump is a uniter !
Is it that his supporters really have nothing to support his claim or what ?

Good question. The only thing we see on this board are attacks on the critics.
Is there a positive message from Trump?
And does that message reflect actual appointments and policy decisions?
I'd be particularly interested with how repealing Dodd-Frank, ""because I have friends who can't borrow money" meshes with his populist message.

Re: Trump the Uniter
The only thing I can take from a lack of positive response is that they really don't think he is a uniter either.

They may have reached the point where every time he speaks they're saying "Holy crap, I voted for this guy??"
Remember when everyone claimed Obama would destroy the country, plunge our economy to ruin, and enact sharia law?
So Trump's already on the way with less than 30 days in office. .
Where are all the people who were concerned about the country now?
Speak up folks.
Tell me what that plan is.
Tell me he's not going to drive us to ruin.
Tell me I'm not seeing what I'm seeing.
If you make yourself miserable trying to make others happy that means everyone is miserable.
