Realistically, I think he has a reasonable chance of deciding to kill the TPP, and kill any other secretly negotiated treaties that entirely favor corporate interest, screw consumers, and give away rights. Hillary's support of the TPP and things like it was one of the most bitter pills I had to swallow from her. She and Obama have been very responsive to corporate interests at the expense of individual consumers. Also, while Bush 43 has a good relationship with Pootie-Poot when his first term started, he unfriended him on Facebook before too much time had passed and the dynamic was much more adversarial by the time he left office. Hopefully, Trump surprises me and was just using Putin the same way Putin was using him. Also, I'd love it if he continues his unwillingness to kowtow to the Republican leadership, and tries to take the reigns on setting policy going forward, at the expense of their agenda. Those are things I'd like that I consider possible that would make me happy.
Honestly, it was a wash shame with either candidate. Trump and Clinton buddies are in the same circle. The presidential campaigns could have been one big hoax as it didn't matter who won. The only viable opposition to Trump and Clint was Sanders.
A good Trump presidency would be: Nukes are never used. Doesn't actually ban a group of people from anything Doesn't balloon the deficit Does not cut spending that leads to higher crime Doesn't tank the economy. Doesn't substantially hurt our allies and strengthen China and Russia.
Sorry but Trump has said in the past that he favors or sees value in single-payer. As a businessman he tends to look at economic efficiency and is not so ideological with respect to health care economics. He might just rationally think that single-payer is a good way to insure the room cleaners in his hotels. Trump is bold enough to take on the insurance industry if he really wants to and he could be just the guy who could convince all the little guys who actually pay few taxes What do they have to lose" as he told African Americans. Trump does like to build things and I think he actually wants to construct some new infrastructure. Most likely not solar infrastructure, if he really is a climate change denierf, but as with most things you never know if Trump is just lying about that issue. Also tends to think about our foreign policy in terms of bang for the buck. He may not want to waste as much money on foreign wars as neo-con lite Hillary. I think that it is good that he may not want to spend hundreds of billions or a trillion or two on a new Cold War with the Russkies as Hillary seemed to want to do.
1. Actually do something to help make a path to citizenship for immigrants that isn't stupid expensive with a heavy need for lawyers. 2. Allow current illegals who are employed with no criminal record to purchase a yearly work visa for $100 to start the above plan 3. Fix our relationships with the rest of the world 4. Get hobbyist out of Washington 5. Fix Obamacare or whatever you want to call it when it gets fixed 6. Don't embarrass us too much....
The things he's talked about that I like are that he could have a huge infrastructure revitalization. I'm in favor of that (though he has no plan of how to pay for it). The replace part of repeal and replace Obamacare at least as the chance to be an improvement. So I will try and be hopeful that something along those lines can be done. Hopefully as he explores his stopping illegal immigration, he expedites the process to legalization and quicker citizenship. Those things are probably pushing the limit, but it is something for me to hope for.
While we are at it, term limits on all federal office, including Justices, no one should have power for life.
1. I would fully support term limits for members in Congress. No more 90 year old senators working in a system for 50 plus years... Change is necessary and enables new ideas for BOTH political parties. 2. Time to get very serious about immigration laws and how to best bring those in the shadows...OUT and start them towards a path of LEGAL residency. Whether a wall is necessary is gonna be debated, but I'd rather have a stronger surveillance presence along our borders...HIRE more border guards. 3. Time to reallocate the federal budget...a. Energy b. Military and Border control c. federal assistance should be the governments primary focus Let each respective state/local governments find ways to address: Healthcare, Education and Infrastructure.
So why have the united states? Why not have federated states where there is no strong central government like the EU if every state have to address healthcare education and infrastructure? While we doing that, why not let every city do that as well?
Hearing the rumors of whose in his cabinet...I wanted to have hope and give him a chance...but really...it's really hard to unless these rumors turn out to be wrong.
Now that the election is over (except for a large swath of comically idiotic hysterical Dems who have taken to the streets), I'm actually looking forward to what positive changes he can make. Honestly at this point, I don't care if he fornicates with a giraffe nightly, if he can change this totally broken system in any way for the better, I'm all for it.
To be honest with you, even though I voted for him and he has my total support. I will wait and see what he will do when he starts to govern. One thing for sure is I will pray for him and our great nation on a daily basis for healing and redemption.
