With the daily barrage of Trump mistakes .....

How many have had a friend, coworker, family member, acquaintance, anyone, ... admit that voting for Trump was a mistake.

I will start, let's shoot for a small number, 10.

OK, we have 10 left to go.

Yes, for a $500 or $2000 tax cut it is worth risking Eliot Rosewater Dec 2016 #2

Right now, he's still just a crude, ignorant bigmouth. On the 20th, he'll be a crude, ignorant bigmouth with power. THAT'S when I expect to start hearing some serious bellyaching.

pals want him to do.
What mistakes?
This is his plan.
Until Republicans hold him accountable for his actions and statements he can literally do anything he wants
And they love Putin now too so good luck with that.
The GOP is going to use him as a rubber stamp for their legislative agenda.
He will sign anything they send him.
If people get a little upset he will do some other new thing to annoy/piss them off and the cowed greedy media and stupid people will move on and let him get away with everything.
What mistakes?

More accurately, I am not communicating with a few people who probably voted for Trump. However, I do remember that within a year or two after Nixon resigned because of the Watergate scandal, it was almost impossible to find anyone who would admit they voted for him (even though he won the 1972 election in a landslide). We'll see if the same thing happens after Agent Orange takes office and the guest of honor at his first state dinner is Putin, the stock market crashes, the ACA is repealed leaving 20 million without health insurance, and a trade war with China ruins the farm economy.
