Discussion: What are your honest opinions and why, about how the Trump Administration is doing?

I'll start. During the election cycle I was Cautiously optimistic, Having friends and family on both sides will do that because you realize the truth is somewhere in-between the wild speculations of both sides. I supported Rand Paul in the Primaries (because no Libertarian Party Primary in my state) and also because I preferred his platform. During the General I thought I was stuck with Clowns to the left of me and jokers to the right. I felt the Left was overly corrupt, and the Right was becoming a parody of itself to a degree. Choosing between the two just wasn't that appealing. My own party nominated a Pot Head so that option was no good. So I was stuck between a Pot head, and someone who perpetrated the New York City stereotype, but for a Republican.

On election night I do have to admit I laughed at Democrats and Hillary Supporters who were supremely confident they would win in both an electoral and popular landslide. Call it schadenfreude or just me being an horrible person, but it as nice to see them get knocked down a peg.

Now as for the Trump Administration. His Cabinet picks have been hit or miss. Debose being a notable miss (mainly her lack of experience and also because she seems to love to run her mouth) and Mattis being a damn good hit. He hasn't accomplished much, but it seems the market is confident he will be good for the economy (and reviewing his tax plan from an economic standpoint he will be). Reducing the debt, not so much, but he can't have his cake and eat it too I suppose. Socially he's not the demon everyone thinks he is. At least from what I have seen. A person does not support racial equality and even LGBT rights for the amount of time he had and then switch beliefs at his age. Again this is based on his history as a person, not on his campaign rhetoric.

As for his other controversial Cabinet pick, AG Sessions, I have mixed feelings here. If he goes after states that have legalized he has gone too far, despite being within the law. However Sessions was qualified to be AG. Sure he may have helped a controversial group, but he has also prosecuted that group. You know who else defended that group? The ACLU.

Long Story Short, I've always been cautiously optimistic, but other than a few picks and lack of accomplishments the cautiously is dropping.

How bout you guys.
