The idea that Trump, or the Republicans, simplified the tax code is laughable. Nothing could be further from the truth. In the end, the new tax code is simply a huge windfall for corporations and the rich.

You have to wonder how short the feds will be on needed tax receipts to fund the government. As the deficit and debt grows into the future, it will all be on Trump and the Republicans. Into the future, you just watch, Republicans will again start angling to attack Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid because we can't afford them anymore.

"Given the enormous resistance from the left, it's truly amazing that Trump has accomplished as much as he has."

What a pantload! I think that you are conveniently forgetting that Republicans control both houses of congress and the presidency. Also, given the fact that McConnell changed the rules of the Senate, Republicans can approve all of Trump's nominations to his administration and the courts with a simple majority.

For a laugh, why don't you tell me how the Democrats are controlling anything in a substantive way, and how they are mounting such enormous resistance.

Nothing I can say or that you (gang on the left) can say that will change or impact anything other than the limited entertainment of exchanging this dialogue.

All I can say is that we will have to wait and see how it all turns out. So far, Trump seems to be pleasing more righties than most would have speculated, so the future may not be as predictable as the left would like to believe. At least I will have some say in who will be next to take the reins.

The "enormous resistance from the left" is the main stream media 24/7 ever since the day he was elected, and it continues.
The dems in office are realizing that staying on the "resistance" movement may not be a winning strategy, so they have been backing off lately. The perceived "blue wave" has been turning purple.

NW30, it's so predicable that you would categorize the free press as the "enormous resistance from the left". You have to remember that the news and commentary coming the free press is largely focusing on what Donald Trump says and how he has been conducting himself as president. Just the wealth of lies and deception regularly being spewed by Trump guarantees a critical and often negative focus on his questionable statements and actions.

How anyone with half a brain can look the other way and think that Trump is great for America is a terribly sad state of affairs. While many in the free press valiantly attempt to inform and enlighten the witless, the "alternate facts", misinformation and propaganda coming from Fox News, right wing internet sources and talk radio are providing a cocoon of sorts to wash out and ignore reality. This cocoon world is arguably like a crippling drug addiction.
