1. ‘Build a wall’ — and make Mexico pay for it Trump announced his candidacy with the promise "to build a great, great wall on our southern border" and "have Mexico pay for that wall," and has repeated the call with conviction and consistency. But even his supporters have expressed skepticism that this centerpiece promise will see the light of day. An actual wall will be extremely costly, and it remains to be seen how Trump would force Mexico to pay for it. "There are some that hear this is going to be 1,200 miles from Brownsville to El Paso, 30-foot high, and listen, I know you can’t do that," former Texas Gov. Rick Perry said recently. (Perry once denounced Trump but has since endorsed him.) http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2016/jul/15/donald-trumps-top-10-campaign-promises/ ----- I'm curious to hear what the people expect of President Trump in this matter (and others) Since these items in this link are the cornerstones that got Mr Trump elected, I think it's important that he follow through on them. So let's start here, with this, one of the more boisterous plans of our new President. What should be expected now that he is in a clear position to deliver? When should contracts be let and what will the process be for collecting the money to pay for it from Mexico? Will the Mexican government be responsible for the contracts and providing the businesses involved in its construction? The promise stage is over and it's time to refocus on the business of delivery. Your input of what you expect is appreciated. I would say that it's reasonable to expect definitive plans that detail the construction in no more than three months after he takes the oath of office. Construction, including funding should be in place no less than a year from now. I believe that is fair. Do you? I assume he is making inquiries as we speak.

Once he's president, he will claim he never said that, and his supporters will believe him. |

I think that would be a mistake on their part. He has presented a number of project plans that have been the cornerstone of his campaign and it's important that he and his following work digently to make some progress on getting those things done. How does eminent domain work? I would think that acquiring the lands necessary would be one of the first steps that we can expact to see. There are allies out there that are interested in seeing this through .. strange allies ... but allies nonetheless. http://www.wnd.com/2016/09/michael-savage-vows-to-hold-trumps-feet-to-the-fire/ |

2. Temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States Following the December 2015 shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., Trump called for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on." The next day, Trump admitted that details "would have to worked out" and said it wouldn’t apply to all Muslims, but remained vague on the timeline or the exemptions. Scholars were divided on whether banning people of an entire faith would violate the constitution. In early May, Trump told the New York Times the ban would be in place by the end of his first 100 days in office. But on Fox News Radio a few days later, he said that it was "just a suggestion." A month later, he recommitted to the ban, tweaking it to now encompass immigrants from "nations tied to Islamic terror." ------- Any chance we can get this clarified at this point? What do you think? There are a few issues of clarity regarding the timeline. During this election there have been a lot of supporters of Trumps that had a lot to say, well, now that he has won and has the approval of the people to do his thing, what do you expect from him? I expect to see an order from his office in the first 100 days that is definitive about who gets in and how. I also expect those rules to be supported by a dedicated force for that purpose. You? |

3. ‘Bring manufacturing (jobs) back’ Trump has said he will revitalize manufacturing in various iterations (i.e. "I’m going to be the greatest jobs president God ever created") and laid out how in his June 28 speech on the economy. "I am going to withdraw the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (and) I’m going tell our NAFTA partners that I intend to immediately renegotiate the terms of that agreement to get a better deal for our workers," he said. "I will use every lawful presidential power to remedy trade disputes, including the application of tariffs." ------ Ok a big one for me. My grandson doesn't need me as much as he had, so now I need to know where I'm suppoesed to go for my high paying manufacturing job. Does anyone have that information yet? Cause I'm ready to roll! How about you...what do you expect from President Trump? Got any time frame? Edited by CautionaryTales, Nov 10 2016, 07:51 AM.

I recognize the bullshyt rhetoric for what it is, and accept the fact that it's never gonna happen. (I never supported it anyway) That's the reality. Just as I accepted Obama's ACA promises for what they were. If you held Mr. Obama as accountable for the Gruber lies as you do Mr. Trump, then good for you. |

Let's not dwell on the past, my friend. Let's focus on the job at hand. Ok? Where are the hard core Trump campaigners on p.com? What do they expect now that they have caught the brass ring? I know you aren't one of those, but your thoughts certainly are welcomed. You don't care if he performs or not. Is that correct?
