I must admit to being a bit unsure about Trump at present, just when I think he's settling into the job he does something a bit.. OTT.. |

I think he likes being on charge and reminding everyone he's the boss. Problem is he's a businessman not a politician. Until now he'd never worked in or for a government department. He may be a bit of a dictator for all we know but he has been thrown in the deep end as far as working in politics goes. Regan was the same he was an actor before he was president cut ended up doing a decent enough job after a bit of a rocky start. |

Hope I'm wrong but I think there mat be an assassination attempt there before his times done, Regan had 2 attempts and he was a reasonable president. JFK though, not sure why there. |

He seems to have divided the country enough for some nutter to try it but yes hope it doesn't happen. |

I hate to agree about the division, we'll have to hope you're right and some nut doesn't try.. |

What's with him banning some of the press from his meetings? Must be 4 in the US alone he's banned. |

The media are 'dishonest' I think, it seems the BBC was banned along with the 4 or 5 US press companies.. |

An odd move on his part, it'll no doubt add to the speculation of him being a little.. nuts. |

I didn't catch the whole story, so don't know the reason or reasons why they were banned from the press conferences.. |

Found a story about it but couldn't find a reason in there. Seems it was quite a few of the major US media to. |

I'm not sure if he genuinely doesn't like the media or he's just trying to get in their bad books.. |

Possibly they've given him a bit of stick over the years? |

Seems he's still in the media even though he's keeping his head down, his attorney general is copping grief for alleged Russia ties. |

It seems he was also sending official emails from his private email account while he was a governor, he was one that was having Clinton on for doing the same thing when she was secretary of state.. |

It does seem a little.. hipcritical IMO.. It seems some of the Republican senators aren't very happy at present because of the probs Trumps having with his staff.. I guess time will tell if he does a good job or not.. I'm not sure I agree with some things he's either doing or has done, but I guess he's doing what he thinks is best for the country.. |

What's with his executive orders banning immigrants? He had to sign another one, gotta wonder how long it'll be before this one gets overturned too. Saw in the news these bans are affecting tourism there and could cost the country billions and put unemployment up. Don't know he's thought it through very well. |

It seems he's left Iran off the list this time though.. I heard the same thing about the tourism, it is understandable, if tourists stop going there then a lot of hotels restaurants etc etc will close down, or risk closing down which will put a lot of people on benefits and as the news said, it'll cost billions in lost tourist revenue and extra in unemployment benefits.. I've wondered if he's thought things through very well or not too.. I've also wondered how long it'll be before we see a judge overturning his order, he may have closed a few loopholes this time though.. |

He's been keeping his head down since he signed it too. Gotta wonder how long it'll be before a judge overturns this one too. |
