I too am not a supporter of ANY politician or party and I've stated that several times on here before. Not defending Trump, Obama or Bush and I agree that each brings the bad with the good. I'm merely pointing out the perpetual hypocrisy from both sides. Trump's done it too with regards to Obama (BO did leave some things in pretty good shape and others not so much).

Furthermore, I also agree that it takes a few years for any fiscal policy to come out in the wash. Economies don't turn on a dime and start / stop when a new president takes office. It's always a blend of before and after. It's TBD on Trump. Again, there are some positives and negatives with his policies just like any other president. I don't believe the tax cuts and trade war is as negative (or positive) as a lot of folks are saying and I have reasons for that - which I don't have time to get into right now. FYI - I work for a Chinese company that makes and sells products into the US and some of my products have been hit with the trade war. Instead of being bitter and hating all things Trump, I take a more pragmatic and long term approach. I am for Team USA, which is not to be confused with MAGA.

Here's the deal. If you want to make an omelet, you have to break some eggs. The short term pain is breaking the eggs, but long term benefit is a tasty omelet. In today's instant gratification society, most folks can't get past the egg breaking part.
