Here is just some news on another of Trump's calls, on his own, to other countries. This to Taiwan. Yes, this apparently happened. It seems to have been Trump on the phone, but I will post other articles on this call later. I need to leave for work.
Also there is his recent call to Pakistan recently, which we were heard about from Pakistan, will not help soothe the India-Pakistan relationship (both nuclear armed countries). This seems to be confirmed.
Quick add as this is now coming up: Philippines...
He will continue to do a lot of things, some people will neither understand nor like and surely not all WILL actually do some good, but I am convinced, his thinking out of the box bears a lot of options for a fresh start in many ways.
..and yes, as some twitter says - China could wipe the floor with the US. Not only China. The US needs to accept, they are not longer THE power in the world, but neither does it make sense to act out of fear.
..and maybe remember, its easy to roar with the crowd, but the crowd isn't always the wiser bunch.
...and I thank you in advance for all the heat I gonna get for this. Don't be shy... ;)

Thanks for the links. There is a wide range of alternative journalism. Some are valid, some are lies, some are false without realizing they are passing on lies, some promote hate, some promote cooperation. A full range. I suggest people read plenty and use logic, discernment, reason, consider consequences, etc.
You don't know, if there is no thought behind it and which thought. Seems many people just want the same ole, that hasn't done ANY good and is dangerous as hell. Vote for Hillary and oyu get that. At least, its what you know. But I tell you what - what we need now is another approach, since the old one didn't work AT ALL! Give the man a chance and lets see, what comes out of that.Different measures, different reactions. We can't know, what the result will be. It can't get much worse. many say, with Killary, WW3 would be underway already. Well - on the horizon, lets say. I agree. She and her clique were just aching to get into war with Russia and would have furtherly done everything in their power to get their way. How healthy is that? Please tell me.
Make of this what you will (different topic; not twitter).
"President-elect Donald Trump favors completing the Dakota Access Pipeline, not because of his stock ownership in the companies building it but because it’s good policy"
... for the companies and their profits.
The pipelines are crudely & swiftly built, and have a short life span because the tar destroys welds. Get in, get as much oil transferred as you can until catastrophic line failure, get out. And someone along the line pays with bad water, sick children, death, or all three.
Hail to der Chief. [-(
Hey, some of us are sickened by what is happening now regarding Trump. But saying that I make you sick or chrisisall makes you sick, and labelling posters here with cutesey names, is really not necessary. There are two threads on politics - go where you are comfortable and happy. Or post in a civil way on both threads.
You are right about the pipeline, Chris.
Re the recent news that Trump has made a deal with Carrier. Pence is still governor there, keep in mind; so he was able to wield power and pressure there for this. Essentially it seems Carrier has received a substantial amount of Federal and State benefits (and about $7 million) for saving just under or about 1,000 jobs. Some jobs will be lost anyway and certain aspects still relocated to Mexico. Trump is a great showman and publicist for himself, and he knows this will play very well for his supporters.
So we can probably expect Trump to continue doing things like this (interfering directly, showing something "good" yet under the radar many other things happening, not all good as it seems) and touting them as showing him doing a good job for workers. The facts involved are far more complex and not all good. Yes, some jobs were kept in Indiana. I would be happy if it were genuinely of bigger benefit, though I would still be concerned about his approach and still dislike his attitude and way of promoting himself.
As more people are mentioning now (several news sources and individuals commenting on social media), facts do not seem to matter at all with a certain section of Trump supporters. Trump learned this early in the campaign. Image, stirring certain emotions are more important than substance or facts. He has zero incentive to change, in my opinion. But I believe the consequences of his actions will be, at least at times, potentially disastrous for America; on many levels - civil rights, economy, foreign policy, etc.
I am all for jobs being kept in America. Automation, not people being replaced by people, will continue to be a main drain on jobs in the U.S. Also, Trump's (and Ivanka's) own businesses still have staff, and make products, overseas. So there are plenty of layers to this issue.
Anyway, here are a variety of articles and comments on the Carrier deal.
I care far less about his attitude and approach compared to what he actually does and does not do. No matter how irritating (trying for a neutral enough adjective here ...) he is, it is what he accomplishes or destroys, what he does and does not do, that ultimately matters to me.
Yes, Gustav, Trump's aides have been very clear about stating that facts do not matter to a certain core of his supporters.

Now I ask, how do YOU balance yourself amongst all the chaotic political turmoil? What grounds YOU physically (not virtually) to the here and now as you surf the web & view the shark infested waters of our Earthly troubles?
I personally prefer Faux News for fair and balanced coverage of current events. And evidently, our rodential friend hasn't been keeping up with the Bond Advent Calendar thread, where our dear @4EverBonded has just presented evidence that Christmas trees need snowflakes... so snowflake needing must not really be a such bad thing (unless you're just a Scrooge.)
Great model making, @chris. @4Ever, give your dog a pat on the head from me. What keeps me going? Various forms of music/storytelling/art/pop culture...and Friends. So thanks for being among them, y'all.
Gefeliciteerd! Gratuliere! Congratulations!

By the way, I am getting seriously tired of Trump's reactions on SNL. Seriously, seriously tired. Man, swallow comedy with some dignity.
