One thing obama and trump have in common is thin skin, and the inability to resist striking back at any and all criticism. How many times did obama attack foxnews?

Trump will hopefully pay for the tax cuts the way that bill Clinton did...by stimulating the economy. Bill Clinton cut tax rates. But tax revenue collected, went up. Then bush cut taxes more, and tax revenue collected, went up again.

Tax cuts do not always cost money. They can be stimulative. The issue is, they aren't always stimulative, and it's hard to predict. Here in CT, we increased income tax rates last year, and tax revenue collected, dropped like a rock. Because people were sick of paying taxes.

Tax revenue does not always go up or down with tax rates. If you cut tax rates, yet tax revenue collected goes up, how is that not a good thing??

There is unfortunate slant everywhere, particularly in the media, college campuses, and other places of great (disproportional?) influence

If he doesn't fix the deficit portion he is no better than the EFFING USELESS predecessor(s).

"If he doesn't fix the deficit portion he is no better than the EFFING USELESS predecessor(s). "

Very true.

Bush's AIDS relief plan in Africa, is credited with saving over one million lives. A million. I'm damn happy and proud to pay my share of that cost, and I think that alone, makes it tough to say he was useless. He gets almost zero credit for that, because the media and the left, hate his guts.
