We're talking about someone who was endorsed by the KKK and who, after November 8th, witnessed the same thing that we all did: people emboldended to commit hate crimes because of the win of their preferred presidential candidate.

Weird, I thought he got there because people were sick of being unemployed because their jobs were being sent overseas.

You do realize that the voters who cared the most about the economy voted for Hillary right?
I don't realize that because I don't think it's true, but that's just my opinion and I have no consensus data so it'd be conjecture at best on my part.
Your sentence. . . it makes no sense.
It's one of the few reasons I support him, but I can't speak for everyone else that supports him because I didn't go out and poll them.
You have been conned.
Maybe a few thousand manufacturing jobs will return to the United States. It will look good in headlines. What will not show up in the headlines is the accelerating collapse of labor protection and wages and the return of Gilded Age exploitation of labor you once thought was only allowed overseas, except with less purchasing power than ever before. Meanwhile, the cost of health care will rise at a higher yearly rate than ever before as insurance pools once again return to silo'd pockets of The Very Sick and Old, fatalities and QOL lost to preventable conditions rise, and insurance companies are freed from the onerous burden of providing coverage for medical conditions that your sky-rocketing premiums allegedly paid for.
You're welcome to your low-paying, marginal right to work that will sicken you, impoverish you, and add next to nothing to society or GDP, for the sake of a pleasant headline.
I hope in 8 years we can revisit this comment and you'll be wrong.
If you're right though, then I blame Obama for telling me not to vote for Hillary
Obama repeatedly and enthusiastically campaigned for Hillary, can't blame him.

you're not really this clueless are you?
I don't feel that I am clueless. Why are you attacking me personally?
The 'there's no room for predjudice if you're patriotic' line is concerning for several reasons. It sounds a lot like they tried to tap into the same 'love trumps hate' catchphrase
If you're attacking posters rather than arguments, you're the one being a shithead. I'm right here in the thread, I'm going to see if people are breaking the rules. I don't need a bunch of volunteers to be forum Batman. Use the report button if there's a problem

Would you accept a PM? I don't think we're supposed to talk about the election in this thread.
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt @imdointhis, as you seem more misinformed than anything resembling vindictive, and simply suggest that you don't have much to gain by participating in this thread. But we're all in this together so I wish you the best too.

Boy it's a good thing Trump has a twitter account.

Oh man, that is brilliant.
"You can't be racist if you love your country." No one is going to think about it for two seconds. They just want their leader to tell them they are good and smart. Not like those other people.
In fairness, the entire whitehouse.gov site got scrubbed and replaced. The sites to watch closely are the rest of the executive branch -- e.g., does noaa.gov scrub all mention of climate change?
And obamawhitehouse.gov exists too as an archive.
NARA's need to archive all the born digital resources from the last 8 years is actually pretty fascinating.

Okay, the new POTUS account is starting to become alive, they just uploaded a picture of Trump in what appears to be the Oval Office, looking out over his new dominion.
Not sure it's a very technical change that has to do with how you view the economy. If you think it's shit then it's a dumb move. If you think it's hot then it's a good move

It was a generic flag when I originally looked at the accounts.
That speech wasn't about patriotism, it was about jingoism. It was Trump telling his supporters that they and only they are owners of the US. No amount of "greater good" type of reasoning is going to convince these people. The guy who most convincingly says, "Fuck everything else, this is about you getting yours" to these types of folks is the one that gets them on board.
I'm being really cynical. But the only thing that gave me hope when I was looking at the faces of all those white people wearing red ball caps is the fact that they were all really old.

He hasn't tweeted yet on this account. Holy crap, is that picture a scowl!
He is, however, still tweeting on his personal account post-inaguration, despite whatever switching happened on his phone.
No. I'm sure they knew exactly what they were saying.

based on http://www.marketwatch.com/story/after-mortgage-rate-spike-fha-to-cut-insurance-premium-2017-01-09 I think it's a bad thing. FHA allows borrowers to take out home loans with low interest rates. They recently ruled that they were going to lower their premium rates, allowing borrowers to save money. Based on that tweet, it seems the new administration's HUD suspended that ruling.
I admit to not knowing much about it and came to that conclusion just from a cursory glance, so if I'm getting that wrong and anyone is more learned on the subject, please correct me
Actually, Obama's interior design skills were a huge disappointment.
Also the lack of Federal graphics updates.
