I think a stronger base is now in place around the President and we will see a much more effective end product.

Yea.. its the noise. It must be the noise

Lets make everything racially charged why don't we...

Voting and supporting trump is a racially charged act

thats not fair. I mean what if your not racist at all? What if you just hate the environment? Or women? Or poor people? You should be allowed to vote Trump then and not be called racist.

yeah, imagine if there were a huge financial crisis on our hands that the gov't had to deal with.

That's called deflection.

Trump came into Office on 3rd base and no outs and he still tripped on the way to Home Plate!!! There are NO EXCUSES for such incompetence. I watched him take FULL credit for the Economy and Wall Street and yet blamed Obama for the World state of affairs he's been dealing with for those same 6 Months. You can't cherry pick what you want to take responsibility for.

The world is a messy place and you can't account for changing events. Still Trump's Foreign Policy has also been a disaster. Going around the world and embarrassing the Country. Tweeting irresponsible statements and not realizing the repercussions. Not to mention all his White House Shake Ups and Turmoil. As i've said over and over those who voted for Trump simply didn't respect how hard the job really was. You can't just put some JAG in their and think they can handle the job. Trump being UNFIT doesn't even begin to describe how bad he is.

As a knicks fan I recognize in a lot of these Trump supporter post the out of touch deflections and baseless hopes without proof that we all display for the Knicks.

Trump is the James Dolan of Presidents and we all just should thank God there are term limits.

I feel like he would be more effective if it wasn't such a known secret he is in bed with Russia. Like a more discreet Trump would of done a lot more damage and maybe could of got the ACA repeal he wanted

Did you hear Trump telling the cops (in Long Island) it's ok to rough up the thugs thats part of MS13......And a Tweet from Freddie Gray parrents asking if the police will rough up Trump when they put him in the patty wagon. But whats worst is the police had a loud ovation to that comment. What a joke. He's basically reversing everything this country had accomplished and going against peoples rights, which is innocent before proven guilty. Now he's telling cops, whoever you arrest who looks like thugs, should be treating as guilty before you even seeing a judge? Are you serious? Is he mentally crazy? This is like a bad dream you can't wake up from.

If you look at the big picture its a nightmare. If you look at granular stuff its 10x worse. Leader of the free world cant stop trolling people on twitter. Tells you everything you need to know.

Trump has a history of this. Just look at his involvement in the Central Park Five case. Trump thinks if a crime is committed and the authorities think you did it, that's all the proof he needs...except when it involves his own business dealings.

Trump + Korea is getting scarey. Hope he can keep it in his pants for 3+1/2 more years until the next election.

In answer to the Op's thread title. I couldn't stomach voting for either presidential candidate but I tried to remain causiously optomistic on Trump. Now, I just hope we can survive his presidency

My questions would be optimistic based on what? What qualities did Trump display in his past that indicated he could be a good president? The honest answer for most folks is they voted for him because he wasn't Hillary.

why do you feel qualified to answer honestly for most folks. Classic overeach here thinking your own opinion is the only one that is correct.

Both candidates suffered from lack of charector. I won't elaborate since you can answer that yourself if you care to even try and be open mided. Trump is easily the dumbest guy in the room. Bush II atleast had moral values and depended on those around him to advise, even if he chose poorly occasionally on whom to listen to. He atleast always meant well even though he was poorly suited for the job.

Trump is still Trump and has more of a wall street morality. I guess my hope was that he could grow into the job but he won't ever shut up long enough to listen and learn from those around him who are smarter, better educated in the world and more experienced. This guy truly has serious issues.

There really is no point in discussing Hillary since she is not President and never will be. The old guard of the DNC will over time be ousted and replaced with new younger, highly educated and more progressive young people. Lets just hope we all survive long enough to seee it happen.

I just don't understand the basis for "optimism?"

If someone said they thought both Hillary and Trump would be horrible but they thought Trump would be the less horrible of the two, whether I agree or not I could at least understand the rationale. But anybody who says they were "optimistic" that Trump wasn't going to be a train wreck, I'm still waiting for a rational explanation to justify that thought process. You can accuse me of not being "open minded" but I think that's just a camouflage to deflect not having a reasonable answer to the question.

To bring this back to sports, it's like expecting Charles Oakley in the latter stages of his career to begin playing like Charles Barkley. He couldn't do it when he was young, suddenly he's gonna do it when he's old? Trump just continued to do what he's has done best throughout his whole life, conning people. I'm not sure if you're a New Yorker, but if there's any group of people who shouldn't have fallen for the con it's a New Yorker. We know Trump better and for longer than anybody in the world.

Maybe we can get to follow up questions if you would answer my initial question. What did Trump ever do prior to running for president that would make someone optimistic he would be an effective president and grow into the position? It's totally fine to admit blind optimism. I would just love to hear something tangible.
