Forum Overview :: Balance of Power :: Why Trump might become our greatest President

[quote name="Commander Tansin A. Darcos"]President Trump, in my opinion, didn't expect to be elected, and really had no idea what to do if he was. His problem was he recognized that there was a dissatisfaction with Hillary, and probably figured it would provide great public relations to run against her, knowing he'd never win. He, like everyone else, severely underestimated the level of backlash against Hillary, and now, to his probable shock and amazement, has now won the election. The next thought was probably the same one announced by Robert Redford in "The Candidate," where his character runs for a Senate seat against an otherwise entrenched incumbent, only to win an upset victory. The look on his face shows he never expected to win, and he turns to his campaign manager, and the last line pof the film is him saying, "Now what do we do?" Trump being unexpectedly elected means he's got a problem. His ego would not allow him to resign before even being elected and if he did he'd be a laughing stock in business - if he isn't already one, and if he is, an even worse one - so he's stuck and has to take the job. And since he's been elected, he has to do something, if not at least try to fulfill his campaign promises. So, anyway, despite having Republican control of both houses, his attempts to get anything done mostly amount to "a sound and fury signifying nothing." Can't repeal Obamacare. Can't get Mexico to pay for the wall and might not get it built anyway. The courts stopped his attempts to keep some Muslims out of the country. And so on. That's why I think Trump just might become our greatest president since his polarizing stands will basically make Congress do little or nothing of any significance since even a lot of Republicans are opposed to many of his ideas and are willing to fight him over them.[/quote]
