We keep saying everyone needs to move on, and get over the results of the election. Shouldn't that start from the top down?

I didnt realize we needed to move on, as if there were some devastating event with catastrophic loss of life. If the media want to be asshats and mock every facet of this administration, they get what they deserve. They provide little in the way of news, but scores of whiny bullshit!

SP5 Christine Conley - the media and IC are in defense mode because they aren't used to being called out for screwing up. And that's all of them. The ICs got more holes than the Iraqi navy and the media has done nothing but try to discredit everyone since Nov 9.
So as far as the tweets, I'm not personally a huge fan. I think twitter is stupid. But he's actually doing to the work he set out to do, so if he has time to send out a jab afterwords... whatever. Just keep your word and do your job.

He really should read up on the Streisand effect. Practically everyone except for his most ardent followers is well aware that Russia interfered with our election to help him win (FTR I do not think this affected the outcome) and every time he tweets something like this it only serves to remind people.
Likewaise every time he falsely claims to have scored a "big" election victory it reminds people how he didn't.

The Streisand effect is the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet. It is an example of psychological reactance, wherein once people are aware something is being kept from them, their motivation to access and spread the information is increased.[1]

This guy is a whole new ball game after all the other Presidents; one of a very few who were not professional politicians. I'm not overly keen on the whole Twitter thing, but I'm more interested in the campaign promises that are being kept, and the response of the business community to the potential for our future. I'm more hopeful than I was.
I am concerned about the number of Republicans who still are "Never Trump" partisans in spite of the election results, and the responses from the Leftists often border on the insane. Some have definitely crossed that border.
Give the new administration a little time, folks. I am already pleasantly surprised with some of the actions I've seen. I reserve the right to change my mind if things start to go south.

How are we supported to handle his stated intent and all the things he stated during the campaign, forget they ever happened?

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - Every politician I'm aware of makes campaign promises that either can't be kept or that they weren't serious about to begin with. Can you think of any high level elected official who made good on all of their stated goals, once elected? I can't.
What matters to me is that the new administration has already started to make progress on stated goals: reducing EPA edicts that stand in the way of legitimate business growth and development, restarting the Keystone Pipeline, nominating an actual constitutionalist Supreme Court justice, starting work toward securing our borders and allowing ICE and the Border Patrol to do their jobs ( there were reasons that the unions for those agencies supported Trump), and showing US and foreign companies that this country is business-friendly once again. There is more, but that's not too bad for the first month of a new administration, especially when led by a man with no political experience.
It's just possible that a non-politician is just what we needed. I was not an enthusiastic supporter of Trump. When it came down to it, I voted for the Supreme Court justices that he named before the election. That, and the fact that a Hillary presidency was unthinkable. I have hope for Trump's team. I'm still wary, but like most of what I'm seeing so far.

SSG Michael Eastes - N my problem, is not that he will not keep his promises, it is that he will do so, Since those promises include war crimes and murders. He was a psychopathic diva before he started running, he was one while he ran and is one now, I will give him g credit for consistency.
Getting rid of the EPA might help business but I grew up in Norther Ohio where the laclk of a EPA agencey made rivers fire hazzards and thast there was serous debate on wether the Great Lakes especially Erie wold survive as living bodies of water, I remember what Cleveland used to smell like and the hacking cough that comes form living downwind of a coal plant. I remember acid a rain burning the eyes and damaging forests.
Trump will be very good for the bottom line but the bottom line is not all important. I have kids and hopefully will have grand-kids and I want them to have a decent place to live not the wreckage that overweening greed causes. trusting people to whom next months profit margin is god to act responsibly at the cost of even a tiny increase in profit margin is ludicrous
