I have high expectations for Donald tRump and you should too.

Because I expect good things to come from my government, one that is designed to protect and serve its people, you know, as from the populous up. The current democratic administration has protected and served us mightily, if not full blown saved our nation from republican ruin. I expect no less from the next presidential term, with a good economy and optimistic outlook being handed to the next administration.

I do not expect Donald to be a POOR, AVERAGE, SO-SO, or anything less than GOOD.

And IF he doesn’t, don’t expect me to remain silent or to treat those who supported him and taken our country down this bizarre road of madness with kindness.

They are holding something over our president? Or am I just so sick of us Democrats getting screwed and our leaders never standing up to Republicans or standing up for WE THE PEOPLE that I have become a horrible cinic and I can't trust any of them anymore.

Nothing in Donald Trump's prior resume leads me to believe he'll be anything other than a disaster of epic proportions.

And we're not dealing with mail order steaks anymore, either.

11. Exactly my point. But you should still expect him to succeed, as any president should

You shouldn't move your expectation bar lower simply because you expect very little. Get it?

You should demand from those who gave us this error the utmost best president ever. No quarter given.

...who teach him how to be both a good president and a decent human being.

Other than that, I've got nothing.

He's a fucking piece of shit and so is his entire administration.

He thinks he's great, and he will believe he is doing great things even when they are not at all great.

but I hope he fails to achieve what I expect of him. I expect his policies will be disaster for the economy, environment and people of the U.S. in particular.

If I had any expectations he would continue the work of the current administration and build on its successes I would have voted for him. I didn't as he is the antithesis of Obama.

Good things are not going to come from this government.
