Trump gives me hope

Before I went MAGA, I was skeptical of Trump. I was sick to my stomach that he destroyed Ted Cruz and got the nomination until I figured he probably had a better shot at beating Hillary due to the fact that Cruz was not viable in my wife's opinion.

The promises Trump made were broad and vague but very much under the MAGA umbrella.

  • Build the wall
  • repeal Obamacare
  • SCOTUS
  • scrapping unbalanced trade deals
  • tax reform
  • fixing climate deals
  • fixing Iran deal
  • fixing North Korea's nuke threat
Trump has kicked the tires on all of the above fronts. Only a third of way through his first term, yet so many coals are in the fire being stoked by nothing given the 24/7 negative news about FBI investigations going no where fast.. The economy has been chugging along with the price of gold dipping to pre-Brexit ranges. Gold is a barometer I use as a hedge against everything... since I foolishly feared the "fiscal cliff." 
The housing market worries me. Everything is selling fast and nothing seems to be left in modestly priced ranges... much like 2005.
Trump being a builder in his former life almost surprises me given the lack of building he has spearheaded as president.

I predicted prison reform, I totally expect affordable housing to be a huge Trump initiative. There's so much federal land that is available.
