  1. 1. Obama had significant travel/immigration restrictions for the same 7 countries. 2. Constitutional rights shouldn't apply to illegal immigrants.

  2. I think people are just happy the country's doing great in many key areas. For example, 1. Low income/working class families are enjoying economic gains not seen in 20 years. For example, the monthly unemployment rate for those without a HS diploma is the lowest since 2000. And for those with a diploma, its the lowest it's been since 2007. And contrary to propaganda, the unemployment rate for African Americans is lower under Trump than Obama. 2. Trump's tax reforms will prove to be the best legacy from his first term. Corporate investment has surged 9.3% in the past year. This translates into jobs and massive spending on infrastructure. 3. Related to 2, Trump FINALLY made the US corporate tax rate competitive with other developed countries. For example, the official reason Apple gave for investing $350 billion in US jobs/infrastructure was Trump's tax reforms. And the $350 billion was in addition to a $40 billion dollar "repatriation" tax they voluntarily repaid. 4 . On foreign policy, Trump is making great moves. For example, every recent President has promised to move the Israel embassy. He's the only one with the guts to do it. And getting North Korea to the table and starting important discussions will prove to be another great legacy from Trump's first term. It was a far better approach than Obama's ridiculous isolationist policy to NK (which forced them to build their nuclear arsenal). 5. National security is enhanced with better border protection and immigration processes. Trump's actions are similar to "deporter in chief" Obama... Who also was forced to separate families at the border and had significant travel/immigration restrictions on the same 7 countries in the recent Supreme Court decision. 6. Housing-starts show a significant post-2016 jump. It's one of the best overall indicators of any country's economy. Trump's policies are providing confidence and long term security for both consumers and investors.

  3. Stephanie S....good points. And I agree on the issue of national debt. However, I think it's a completely bi-partisan issue. Each President inherits a certain amount and both parties impact spending. Plus, there's many other variables affecting debt such as the global economy, wars/conflicts, etc. I think the tax reforms will turn out to be an excellent move for the debt issue. And the best legacy from Trumps first term. It's already resulting in increased corporate spending and spin offs for small businesses, jobs and infrastructure. And countries like Canada are forecasting an exodus companies returning operations to the US. Canada's corporate tax rate is no longer far below the US.
