Thanks for the ''opinion'' piece Buteye. But opinions are not facts but they can be ''fake'' news!

Now for more ''opinion''.  I have no idea how the country would be doing under Hillary and neither do you, but I suspect the 2.9 million more folks that voted for her than for Trump wish we were finding out! As to how the country is doing under Trump is, to a considerable extent a matter of opinion.  Sure, the economy is improving and employment is rising but not as fast as the last year of Obama (look it up)! The markets are up but again not as much as Obama (look it up) and some scary cracks are starting to appear.  Regulations have been lifted but it will take months or years to determine whether their lifting is or is not beneficial to the nation as a whole. Some positive and some negative changes have been made in the immigration system but if they slow or scare off responsible legal immigration and the economy does soar the whole thing will soon crumble for lack of people willing to work for peanuts to mow our lawn or clean our hotel room or hang our drywall or pick and process our foodl! Unfair and unequal trade practices should be countered but it will only get worse for all if it is countered by political stupidity and bias and appeal to a ''base'' rather than with economic reason.  Anybody who is not disturbed about whether or not the Russians took certain actions to influence our electoral process and whether Trump had any relation to it or input to it is either a damn fool, a traitor or just not paying attention.  Now, if the economy soars, world peace breaks out and cancer is cured and if Donald Trump has some claim to being responsible for everything good that happens he IS STILL not fit to be President because he is an immoral lying scumbag of a human being.  If John Edwards had become president and performed miracles he too would still be unfit morally or ethically to lead a great nation! Hillary is no saint but she is for damn sure a few notches above Trump on the decency scale!  That too is opinion, my opinion, but according to every poll it is the more widely held than yours.
