Coming from across the pond, I’ve read a bit in the British media about President Trump’s time in office so far, but I wondered what it’s really been like for Catholics in the US.

I’m curious to know:

Have there been any major surprises - good or bad?

Has your opinion of Trump as a man changed since he was elected?

You don’t have to say how you voted - but if you had to vote all over again, would you vote the same?

Day to day, have you noticed anything ***fundamentally different ***yet being under Trump rather than Obama?

Media coverage here is fairly polarised: either gloom and doom about Trump being a ‘loose cannon’ or Trump being a beacon of common sense …and not much in between (apart from lots of photos of Ivanka’s outfits!!!)
 
I voted for him and other than the appointment of Neil Gorsuch, I’ve been a bit disappointed. The economy is better, illegal border crossings are way down but still no wall! :mad:

AND…at least it wasn’t Hillary!
 
Disappointed that the Republican House of Representatives and the Republican Senate are unable to write workable tax legislation.

They HAVE already passed something like 38 acts that Trump signed into law … which the media have ignored.

And Trump has worked non-stop to write and sign Executive Orders which are mostly being ignored by the media.

Trump also only uses ONE signing pen … instead of using multiple signing pens as Obama did.

3,000 stores closing, 20,000 people who are losing their full time incomes when YouTube got rid of much of their ad revenue, many thousands of lay-offs, pensions taking a big hit, 401KS’ taking a big hit, and many banks about to collapse; this is not a better economy.

Actually, 401Ks are better off since the election. And perhaps you could tell us which banks area bout collapse. If you know, then you should be making millions shorting their stock. :rolleyes:

According to this site, there have been 32 signed legislations. Some of these are resolutions, like we want to try to hold the world expo in the US, to actual laws.

whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/signed-legislation?field_legislation_status_value=0

The number of pens are so that multiple people can have souvenirs. If he really wants to save money, he shouldn’t give away any pens.

The dollar is about to collapse as the world’s reserve currency; as the dollar goes so does the pensions and 401ks’.

This is untrue factually and economically. The dollar will remain the world’s reserve currency for as long as foreign nations continue to buy our debt (which is denominated in dollars). A weak dollar would actually help the U.S. economy, as it would make it economically more viable to produce in the U.S. and export to foreign countries. This has been China’s model for decades. That’s why the U.S. is trying to label them a currency manipulator.

A collapsed dollar would also be disastrous for countries (like China) that own large amounts of U.S. Debt. Their investments would become devalued, resulting in an enormous evaporation of THEIR wealth. It wouldn’t hurt us; we’ve already spent their money.😃

Inflation is definitely hurting us. The majority of people in the United States losing the purchasing power of the dollar will be devastating for. The credit market is about to freeze up. Tough times are here; Our Lady of Fatima warned us about these times.

He is doing an outstanding job. If congress would get on board we could get this country humming again.

More made up facts for the left.
 
He is doing what he said. I am 100% happy with what he has worked at and accomplished. The liberal’s has declared their job to be make up things, twist things and make sure he fails. Liberalism is showing it’s true face right now.

Trump is also working very diligently to expose the Globalist Bankers’ so He doesn’t get blamed for the coming economic collapse.

I don’t think that I have even heard MSNBC try to stretch things this far.

You are part of the left.

These major retailers are closing more than 3,000 stores this year

And if you actually READ the article you linked to, it says " . . . retailers on this list are closing stores because they’re not giving people what they want in terms of things like price, fashion, and selection. . . . . We have far too many retail locations, shopping centers, and branches of different chains."

And all this would be Mr. Trump’s fault, in your view, because . . . . .? I
