What's everyone's initial thoughts on Trump's performance thus far?

It looks like he has quite a few initiatives currently in the pipeline.

I'm really curious as to how the tariff's will change things...either for the positive or negative.

The Dems money train is at stake. This is going to be entertaining.
Problem is you have Pam Bondi who doesn't want to prosecute anyone and Kash Patel seems to focused on deportations instead of going after corruption.

SC just ruled Trump has to send out all the USAID money and Trump should have just abolished USAID but he didn't. It was created under Kennedy by executive order and can removed by executive order.
 
I really haven't kept up with this stuff. On the outside, it seems like there are lots of chiefs trying to run the reservation.
 
Trump meh Elon is just window service but I’m sure he’ll come out better for his service. If anybody believes he is doing anything but for his own personal gain I don’t know what to tell you. I know people that think they are goig to tank things on purposes so people. Can come in and buy low

Elon is on run about vengeance. Its not really for his benefit but for payback. He knows there's corruption there and democrats tried to go after him after he spoke out about transgenderism and blamed the woke dems for his son/daughter whatever. He used to be a big donor for them until that.

Then they went after his companies filing suits against him for bs and like siding with a couple small shareholders about Elons payout for Tesla. Saying after he met their demands and board approved his payout 2 times that he shouldn't be paid that amount.

Biden held an event about electric vehicles and invited ford, GMC etc but didn't include Tesla and they are nowhere near tesla in terms of advancement or sales of EV.

He took that personal and you can see his shift to supporting trump after that.

Now he has a chance to get back at them and you can see his next move is trying to get control of Congress to remove the judges that keep blocking things.

I don’t trust anyone’s intentions who is that close to Peter Thiel.

I'm waiting to see what actually happens there.
They need critical positions they stated they were hiring for those still. Jobs cut are back office jobs. VA secretary is in charge how the firing is done.


 
The federal government is bloated and wasteful but throwing the baby out with the bath water is never a good thing.
I disagree! I think throwing the baby out period stops a lot of year of follow on spending that all of us parents get taxed with. I mean…Do they really need 3 meals a day and fresh socks for Christ sake.
 
If I were Trump, I would do everything in my power to get the gas prices down to record lows. With all this tariff mess and perceived dysfunction, he needs something positive before this presidency gets sideways. My two cents and I now a Trump supporter. I trust no man to fix all these problems.
 
For the vast majority I’ve been very pleased with how much is being done so quickly and adhering to what campaigned to do. I feel as though many expect it to be a light switch to bring down prices particularly gas. I am of believe it will get there but likely takes a lot of restarting up and adding to drilling sites…amazing how much damage to not only the economy but also how divided the main media is stoking racial tensions.

My other view which is almost equal in importance to me is to keep the transgender and pronoun push outside of schools, especial elementary/middle schools. I will be respectful if you have certain pronouns, but I simply avoid this as much as possible by just using real name (fortunately haven’t had to deal with name changes as I have a nephew that as a minor and during COVID that is when this all came out).

Sorry of on tangent. Overall IMO I have more positives than negative on performance, though disagree with his continued involvement with the Israel/Gaza conflict. Hopefully in Ukraine they do reach a cease fire ideally under agreeable terms though I think Zelensky had agree to terms but then reversed course. How much money/equipment are we willing to provide and in my mind we are playing with fire given these are our weapons and believe the US is needed to use them. So in a sense this is a very gray but in my mind we are already at war, but as a proxy one where it’s at least reported US doesn’t have boots on ground.

Top reasons for me voting Trump are:
- stop or significantly being the world police
- Illegal immigration. This is tough as I am sure there are many good people that crossed the the border since it was not really enforced. However illegal crossing has dramatically decreased so much from day 1. Concerns I have with this is pushing out jobs for citizens and the crazy amount of money the “NGOs” provide using tax payer dollars which includes credit card, hotels, even medical services which will further add to our debt. All for LEGAL immigration. But at same time I can kind of put myself in their shoes as coming into US is most likely a beneficial financial situation and quality of life depending on region they are from.
- improve the economy which will take sometime to really see changes.
- reduce crime and respect for law enforcement
- rebuilt military once again (hopefully do not to go downtown that road) through the famous quote peace through strength.
- hire based on who is most qualified for job as primary criteria, instead of quota to ensure all groups are equally represented. This falls under DEI where I’m all good with diversity and equality, but equity being practice equal outcomes is concerning.

Sorry will stop here as this became a novel. Respect everyones opinion as I know this is a very polarizing topic. Overall I think it will take time to get there, but on a better path.
