He is fantastic.
What I like about what he has done so far is none of it’s a surprise. He actually does what he said he would do.
The mainstream media still can't get their head around it. I watched CNN twisting themselves into a knot over the pardons and the fact a lot of what he says isn't true.
It's as though they still think by moaning about it anything is going to change.
The Trump era is the most legitimate democratic thing you will see anywhere in the world.
He won the presidency by way of the college vote and the popular vote, he has the House, the Senate, and he has the Supreme Court, but that was more luck and not tied to an election.
So what he has is a mandate. You can't argue with that.
He said he would deport - he is.
He said he'd get out of the Paris Agreement - he has.
Not all of what he said he would do will happen, because some of it like birthright citizenship is constitutional and changing that takes a lot of court and more than four years.
Melania has clearly had a come-to-Jesus moment, given she seems front and centre. I watched them in Carolina and Los Angeles on Saturday and Las Vegas on Sunday, and she said nothing but seems keen this time around.
I watched the inauguration. Kamala couldn't hide her misery; Barron couldn't hide his sense of humour. Who knew?
Much is being made of the fact he doesn’t have to face the voters ever again, as though that doesn’t apply to every President who gets a second term, so he'll go nuts.
He won't go nuts. He is already nuts, but a lot of people like that kind of nuts.
He comes off the back, as the Wall Street Journal so decisively portrayed, one of the great crime families of modern America: the Biden's. The senility hidden from day one, all the family pardoned, and Hunter singled out, despite Joe saying he wouldn't. What a liar. What a crook.
As I said last year, the first time Trump came and went the world didn’t end. It won't this time either.
But so far it's going to be a hoot watching and I, for one, am loving it.

Yes - non a question of like/.disliked ( identity politics) but of the management style needed = Just do it now.
At least Trump is giving a lesson to spineless conservatives what leadership is all about. Most of the developed world has swung right politically, including NZ, but there has been little change.
He is not nuts. Trump is normal. We in the west have become so used to the ist words that have been used to silence good people. Trump is the winston churchill of our time.
If the generally accepted figure of 4,000,000 illegals were let into the country during Bidens term, just to get back to the status quo when Trump left office (following record influxes under Trump 1 which at times even exceeded Obama), he'll have to deport just under 20,000 per week, every week, for four years. This will never happen for both PR and resource reasons.
Moreover, Trump is now bankrolled by a gang of liberal billionaires who will become much less wealthy if these people are removed, due to the structure of the economy which necessitates the influx of these people. So it will never happen for that reason too.
Meanwhile, the unthinking will laud Trump for his ineffectual efforts that look good on the surface until you crunch the numbers like I just did.
Trump's better than the alternative, but completely insufficient.
You’re wrong on one thing Mike - Trump is no more nuts than you or me.
He’s different, thats all. And it should be no surprise that his cleaning the swamp is succeeding where others failed miserably. He is feared by corrupt republicans and democrats in equal numbers. Their days are numbered.
His strength is that, unlike generations of past politicians, he is not beholden to any pressure group or donors who helped get him elected.
And that unique persona makes him bullet proof to accusations of corruption that plagued the Biden administration.
He is not for sale and as a consequence able to move at warp speed simply doing what he said he promised.
We at least agree about that.
Me thinks Hosking blows like chaff in the wind based on his historically critical pieces on Donald Trump. He’s had plenty of opportunities to critique his openly biased mate Richard Arnold, whose comments, clearly places him in the failed Democrat camp.
