Was DJT turning into a neocon inevitable?

With Bannon and (to a lesser extent, Reince and Kellyanne) on the outs we're left with only Jeff Sessions (who was always my least favorite b/c I fricking KNEW he wanted to re-start the war on marijuana).

Was this always going to happen? I'd like to think not. I worked for a guy like Trump once and the one thing you couldn't do was make him look stupid. He would turn on you in a heartbeat (no matter your past track record) if you made him look or feel stupid.

Bannon rushed that damn travel ban and it backfired bigly. It was horribly executed and it quite literally ruined Trump's first 90 days in office. It set the tone for everything that went wrong.

I wish to God that they could have a do-over but I feel like it's too late. Once Trump got miffed at Bannon and stopped trusting Reince, he turned to his family and then it was game over. Kushner has coalesced his Ziocon gonnegshuns* quickly and ruthlessly, and now Trump is essentially a socially liberal GWB.

The court had noshkins authority to stop the executive branch...

It backfired because they were weak...and let the press show activists at at the airports while flimflammers said, "oh my, we'll that's not right, is it?"

He was either going to conform, or be relegated to lame duck status. Trump's ego couldn't allow that.

Pretty much what happens in our 2 party system.

Sirwinston, tighten up your coat or get off the train.

Stop acting like you can see the future. Take this as it comes, you're starting to sound a bit like MSNBC.

There were things they could have done to lessen the blowback. Banning college students and professors who were already in the country was a bad idea PR wise.

the first big player to endorse him was chris Christie

honest ted told you about his new York values

I figured there was a 50/50 chance, and don't really care all that much as it is a risk I was aware of.

it was him, or it was her...and his worst case is better than her best case

I voted for the Court, a chance to repeal Obamacare, tax reform and maybe he would even gut administrative agencies...but really just the court

but i'm not lying when I say I voted for the melt. the SJW shite has got to go and being confronted with trump for 4 maybe 8 years will do the snowflakes some good and encourage the silent people to start telling these people to get fricked.

Sure and I get that those of you who weren't huge Trump backers until relatively late in the general election likely don't feel the same sense of betrayal that the alt-right feels.

A lot of us were Rand supporters who went to Trump relatively early, so these changes greatly pain us.

I read a theory that since trump lost thousands of his friends on 9/11 that he would wage war on the "globalists" responsible for enabling the terrorists. Maybe that is happening

I believe that trump is a good Christian and walks with the lord and that he always has a plan in mind. That being said I believe this is more of the 4d chess we are used to and trump has a plan to destroy the globalists we just haven't seen what it is yet.

I think that cuckner will have a public, embarrassing exit from the cabinet that will remove him from politics forever and ivanka will probably divorce him

Face it. We aren't a Govt installing puppet govts around the world.

We are the puppet government. The puppet master resides in Jerusalem and the executive offices of Goldman Sachs. They sit there, pulling those strings, lining their pockets from the hard earned tax dollars of your everyday American.

A violent uprising is in order. Only we can take back our country

I hope you're right but all the momentum and evidence is pointing against your prediction.

Also, think of all the Tea Party candidates who were swept into office and then went back on their campaign promises in favour of millquetoast establishment conservatism in relatively quick order.

I find it hard to believe someone named Jared could be up to any good. They're either running annoying jewelry ads, ruining subways reputation, or singing the false song of globalism

I am guessing this is how Thunder fans felt when Durant joined the Warriors

I'm a white straight male so I obviously can't be a democrat so I became a Trump guy by default. Trump Becoming another useless neocon leaves me without a party, bc neocons don't believe in individual liberty and aren't fiscally responsible.
