Trump's opinion on climate change has barely budged, if at all. Wishful thinking by mainstream media?

He also didn't say he would interfere with ongoing Clinton investigations.

And it's useful to cooperate with congressional Republicans to fast-track his agenda, and speedily enact into law those policies where he and the GOP congressional majority agree.

It looks like a lot of the compromising is being done by the other side. This is the time when Trump's negotiating skills come into play. I'll reserve criticism until this has a chance to play out for a while in terms of concrete, enacted policies.

Trump is first and foremost a negotiator. This is exactly what I expected given his background in real estate and business in NYC. This is why I became a supporter. His rhetoric was the starting point in negotiations with the hostile Democrat AND Republican congress members. He does not have majority support for any of his starting positions, but he is the best person to get to the politics of the possible. He may not get 100% of what he promised because of checks and balances. But he'll get the important stuff. Congress will never see what's going to hit them.

Some of the things Trump says right now may be to appease the dangerous, America-hating Communist still holding the keys to the White House for 2 more months. I don't think we can take anything he says to the New York Times or any other left-leaning rag seriously anyway, even if he did say it as they portrayed it. Let's wait and see what he actually DOES when he takes office.

Do not expect any truth to come out of the media.
Anything that is said about Trump that doesn't come from him or his staff should be looked at with a jaundiced eye.If he even comes close to carrying out his promises he will become the whipping boy of the media, and if he fails to carry out his promises the right side of the aisle will be all over him. No matter the protestations of the NY Times and others nothing has changed so don't expect them to get it right. I'm also not sure of the Trump camp, as that is yet to be seen. I'm also not sure whether Mike's post illustrates Trump's perfidy or the media's.

Right now Trump is concentrating on creating a dream team for the administration. It is best he doesn't push Clinton's investigation and not get involved like Obama always did on issues that were not presidential. Let the DOJ and FBI do it. When he actually becomes president and starts governing, then we may have something to be critical about, if anything. Right now, if he says he went for a steak dinner, the media will report he's going to deport vegans.

Any orchestration of the economy by government officials indicates that individuals are not in charge of the economy and not free to make their own choices. Waiting to find out if he is any different than any other politician is pretending that he is (he is not). Politics is the art of lying, politicians are the practitioners of the art. Whichever party is in the White House the national debt doubles. Since all fiat currency is debt and it is impossible to pay off or even pay down the debt it will continue to double every time. It is not possible to do otherwise. There is a difference between the debt and deficit spending although the two are often misconstrued as being the same. Donald Trump had no intention of keeping the promises he has made any more than Hillary did. The actors on the stage have changed, the play remains the same with the same inevitable conclusion. We have been sold into slavery and the masters continue to find ways to take every bit of labor and property they can without actually killing the slaves.

At least you are not discussing President Hillarys plans

Is it disinformation, lies, or delusional thinking? Rush had the connection to the transcript to the meeting/interview available through his website, and I read the interview. It is, after all, the NY Times, perhaps the left-most paper in the country, and their re-writes of actual facts do not reflect the facts. As I read the transcript, I kept thinking 'The Donald' did his best to not give them any ammunition, including his stance on the Global Warming hoax, specifically with GWH that the emails from Anglia University bring many things into question (my words). He skirted the jail for Hillary issue because he was in a hotbed of Hillary supporters (and - opinion) didn't want to get side-tracked into that one issue. Check out the NYT interview, and you might be of the same opinion as I: disinformation, delusional thinking and less-than-truth.

I already sent him a letter about what I heard/read
in the news about his seeming to weaken on re-
pealing Obamacare. It was, more or less: "What's
this I hear on the news about your being willing to force insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions? And trying to coerce peop-
le into pretending that someone is a child until
age 26 (despite the 18-year-old vote)? You
haven't even taken office yet and already you're selling us out?!!" But who knows that
it'll do any good?--As I said, certain death or
Russian roulette. But I did hope that the bullet
wouldn't be in the first hole in the chamber.

This is the NY Times and CNN folks - when in the last years have they told the truth - or even given the facts of something??? These are the lefties who run "The Narrative Of The Day" and make up stories out of whole cloth to slime anyone on the Constitutional side of governance, bury the facts on such items as Benghazi, informing our enemies of our supposed secrets, give orifice exams to Republicans and refuse to 'vet' democrats: Obama, "fauxahontas" and Hillary's health problems.
Take a deep breath and know they are doing "April Fools Day" every time the say something....

He is not President yet and it is up to the DOJ to go after HRC. If he has upset you then it is time to look for a replacement that WILL prosecute HRC. https://www.facebook.com/groups/16033...

Is it really compromise? In the 1994 Republicans said growth of Medicare payments needed to be reduced to keep the program solvent. Democrats said this was shortchanging seniors. 15 years later when they were formulating ACA, they exchanged roles, each taking the other's position.

Consider the complaint Republicans had with President Obama in allowing the national debt to double under his administration They rightly warned of the risk of a fiscal/monetary crisis. If the debt keeps increasing at roughly the same rate with Republicans controlling the Congress and the Executive branch, I will begin to think there's no relationship whatsoever between policy and politics. I'll think politics is pure show business for ugly people, and the same actor that played the cut-Medicare role can 15 years later play the other side with no sense of irony. Regarding a fiscal/monetary crisis, I'm starting to think both parties have the same position: They want the other party to take the blame and their people to get the wide latitude that comes with handling a crisis.
