The USA has been in continuous unremitting decline at least since the Vietnamese debacle. Obama certainly hastened that decline with his obsessive idea that European social(ist) democracy was a better system than USA freestyle. Trump has hardly had time to put his feet under the table: his mantra - MAGA - is not to be discarded: he may actually reverse the decline. Certainly a continuation of the Bush/Obama model with the deplorable Hillary would have continued the decline. And I would argue that his appointments have been largely intelligent and thoughtful: men and women of exceptional intelligence and achievement, unlike the political hacks Obama appointed. Wait and see. You don't have any idea of the final result five minutes into the game.

You do make a good point however. It had been shown that our current President has been one to go back on his promises and has made some...controversal comments through his election campaign and although he had stayed somewhat quiet now his actions spoke louder with his first version of the travel ban. Also I would hardly count a person such as Steve Bannon "intelligent and thoughtful". However you are correct. I will see how things unfold, thank you

@LuckyGuy001: Unfortunately, although you may disagree virulently with his views and strategies (I would not blame you) Steve Bannon is in fact highly intelligent, erudite and a thinker, amongst other attributes! Like cunning as a fox!. Another virtue that Trump has that few people seem to recognise. He surrounds himself with people cleverer than he is, and actually listens to their advice, unlike - say Obama - who always knew he was the cleverest man in the room. (HRC is not much better) I don't think of myself as especially clever, but was very successful in business by making sure I employed people a lot brighter the me.

@NearMiss: Well forgive me Ma'am but why did he propose on an ALL muslim ban during his campaign. Also his current ban doesn't exclude Afgan which harbored Osama Bin Laden as you know

You are correct ma'am however Trump has chosen several "regulars" of Washington for his administration. Also Republicans are backing Trump every step of the way most of the time so I think you're misled a bit there. You are right about the correlation but Trump hasn't been getting proper information, I've already brought up Afganistan not being on this ban even though they harbored terrorists in the past

@waleskinder: Well if you mean FDR then I would have to disagree somewhat since he helped get us out of the Great Depression. Then again that's all he did that i know of XD
