Full Video from the Donald Trump Press Conference



- will tangle with US job exporters and will do that at multiple points including an import tax on products such companies make outside the US

- will tangle with Big Pharma and lack of bidding for competitive prices

- has an eye on the F-35 fiasco but he hasn't gone through to canceling it

- it's not clear what he will do with Veterans Administration but he didn't spill the killer word of 'privatization'

- he still believes Russian hackers bagged Clinton's email and that's just ludicrous after Assange said where WikiLeaks got that material due, as Trump notes, to Clinton's lackadaisical approach to security

- he is dead accurate on the silence regarding leaks to Clinton on debate questions, etc

- the plan for replacement of Obamacare is still in the wings so there's no predicting what it will do.   He says it will be far less expensive and far better but not a word on how this plan will do that.

- his Supreme Court nominations are highly-suspect but there are no details and his respect for Antonin Scalia is not a good sign

- the shutdown of the question from CNN was delicious and it's fair after the rubbish they have been spewing

- also a paper on hacking in the context of any which threaten government or industry is anticipated in ninety days.  He actually sounds like a Democrat (i.e. a real one) in terms of defense against hacking.


All in all, he came across as far more Presidential than he has previously and he didn't give any particular reason to take anger with him.  There is no change in our unwavering support for Bernie Sanders but the reality is Trump is President so we review and we proceed.

It's a win at the Rockhouse if Trump forces NABISCO to start making OREO cookies in America again.  They have been banned here ever since they announced their plans.  Let's see how America's cookie sells when it has a hefty import tax on it (larfs).
