Oh, and 10% increase in military spending! I don't even the war hawk Rubio would've been so bold.

Congress controls the purse string. So, I don't expect to see too much difference in spending under Trump. Some improvement, yes, but not enough to make a marked change.
Trump is not filling hundreds of positions connected directly to the administration. But, it won't save we taxpayers money. Congress will just take that money and spend it elsewhere, probably on increasing their own staffs.
While the overall federal budget will remain about the same, HOPEFULLY most of it will be allocated to more sensible programs, like building a wall, the military, maybe the space program, etc...
Straight off Drudge. Of course the main articles are from Britain.

What boycott?! Ivanka Trump sales skyrocket in February - with brand reporting record-breaking number of purchases
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/...8980707539.jpgIn an interview with Refinery 29 , company president Abigail Klem said: 'Since the beginning of February, they were some of the best performing weeks in the history of the brand. 'For several different retailers Ivanka Trump was a top performer online, and in some of the categories it was the [brand’s] best performance ever.' On Amazon, Ivanka has had the top selling fragrance for the past two weeks, new stock is frequently being added to her Zappos page, and on the London-based e-commerce startup Lyst has Ivanka as the eleventh best seller on the site for the month of February. That represents an increase of 346 % from January, when the brand ranked at 550 on the site.

You can thank you buddy Obama for that.Quote:

The Freedom Caucus bad? The advice he is getting is bad. Ryan is such a POS.
Ryan is a scapegoat. Trump was JUST as responsible for the healthcare debacle.Quote:

Well, Trump trusted Ryan, and Ryan tried to write a bill all by himself without consulting with the many interests in the party. In that respect, Trump is responsible for trusting Ryan, but have you noticed that it is Trump meeting with the conservatives and negotiating things related to health care again?Quote:

Kind of refreshing, but dangerous in that he would be willing to work with the dims and get a bill the republicans really don't like.
Ryan may never be a scapegoat again because Trump is likely to bypass him entirely in the future and work directly with the house and senate.
He spends an awful a lot of time golfing to be considered a workaholic. A lot more than the last president, and I'm sure the posters on this board wouldn't consider him a workaholic.Quote:

So, no repeal and replace...no tax cuts...Gorsuch to be fillabustered.
Somebody show me how POTUSDT isn't just business as usual? If he continues to flounder, the GOP is in deep doo doo.
It's impossible to play more golf than Obama.Quote:

They're just blocking him because Obama's pick was blocked, anyway.
Repeal and replace will happen, and tax cuts will as well. He's been president for a couple of months now...that is all. If nothing happens on these fronts by this time next year, then you can say business as usual, but not yet. It takes a while to turn something as big and cumbersome as the US government bureaucracy.
Were you expecting an outsider to come in and work miracles with the dems being angry they lost and many repubs being part of the swamp needing drained?
