I was an early Trump supporter - even before he became the nominee.  I liked the fact that he was not a politician, and I thought he would bring a refeshing honesty to Washington.  I thought that as a businessman, he would get things done.  I agreed with him that most Agreements we have with other countries do not favor our interests.  I liked his stand on illegal immigration.  And I thought he was right in cancelling Obama care to put in a better system that would mean affordable rates for everyone.  

But I am disappointed in Trump.  Not that I would have voted for Hillary Clinton - she would have been a disaster for this country on so many levels.  But the Trump I see now wasn't able to fix the health care system (which I think reflects poorly on Republicans.  They had 8 years to come up with something), he engages in petty squabbles in tweets, he's caught up in an investigation,  he hasn't done anything yet about North Korea, and I am not at all sure about his tax plan.  Seems to me it relies too much on Trickle Down economics which as been shown not to work. 

I watched a segment with Warren Buffet the other day.  He pointed out that our corporations have been making record profits, but that they are not passing it down to their workforce.  And he is right.  So about the current plan to cut taxes (while increasing the deficet) is not likely to do anything for jobs and salaries. 

I realized the other day that I'm beginning to feel like our President is a nincompoop.  Maybe it would be better if he were removed from office.  I like Mike Pence.  And I like the Department heads that Trump put in place.  Trump is not draining the swamp - he's merely changing the color of the swamp.  I'm off Trump.  I still repsect the Office of the President, but not the man who is sitting there.
