Hi All:

As most of you know, I was an Independent that supported Hillary. I'm just curious as to how you are feeling about Trump so far. I've noticed a bit of a difference between what he said during the campaign and what he's saying now.

1. Then: Deport all Illegals. Now: Start with the criminals then worry about the rest
2. Then: Build a wall and Mexico Pays for it Now: Will settle for a fence in places (no word on Mexico paying)
3. Then: Lock her up. Now: Doesn't want to hurt them (the Clintons), they are good people.
4. Then: Repeal Obama Care (a disaster) Now: Wants to keep parts of it.
5. Then: Climate change is a Chinese Hoax. Now: Thinks humans contribute to climate change in some way.
6. Then: Against gay marriage (will appoint SC Justices to repeal). Now: Doesn't have a problem with it (SC has decided the issue)
7. Then: Blind trust for all his businesses (to avoid conflict of interests) Now: Quote: "In theory I could run my business perfectly and then run the country perfectly" -- notice which comes first... not that that couldn't be totally innocent.

Just curious if any of you are concerned at all. Seems like a LOT of backpedaling before he's even sworn in. @amynhop... hey hon. This is totally NOT calling you out. But I'm not going to even bother posting this in the West Zone, so I wanted you to see it and I'm interested in your opinion.

Again, Trump is my president now and I'm rooting for him to succeed. In fact, I approve of every one of the "clarifications" above except for #7 (and that one is completely expected) . I know that most of the posters here are way more conservative than I am, so I'm just curious as to how this is sitting with you all.

I'm just going to wait and see. It's too early to make any judgements. Glad you are getting behind him. I have confidence in Trump and think he will do what he needs to. Let him get sworn in and let's see what happens. @hopefultiger13

Agree with everything you said - not surprising considering he is a New York democrat that said a bunch of crazy stuff to get elected. That being said, if he does the same stuff he said he is going to do, could turn out OK.
