Are you saying, "Trump is like a box of chocolates...."

The box definitely contains brown objects.

Don't smell like chocolate, though.

Trump only cares about American made products being sold, exported, etc. Sorry, but selling a bunch of Boeings has a bigger impact on our economy than keeping pilots happy long term.
He's doing exactly what he promised he would do.

Exactly what he said he'd do?

Trump voters “felt like they were voting for an anti-establishment candidate — and they're terrified, they're losing faith," South Florida-based radio show, Trump backer John Cardillo said. "They're saying, ‘Why does he have these people around him?’"

The gripes go beyond Bannon’s apparent downgrade. Many of Trump’s most stalwart supporters, including radio show hosts Michael Savage and Laura Ingraham, called last week’s bombing of Syria a betrayal of Trump’s pledge to be an “America First” commander in chief who would avoid unnecessary conflicts overseas.

“People are concerned because it’s such a morass over there,” said Howie Carr, an influential Boston radio show host and vocal Trump backer. “I don’t think any of my listeners have any great stomach for overthrowing Assad, as odious as he is.”

Concerns about Trump’s foreign policy approach intensified on Wednesday when he backed away from his oft-repeated campaign line that NATO is “obsolete.” Instead, during an appearance with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Trump called the organization a “great alliance.”

Other Trump boosters worry that he’s ditching his economic agenda. They wonder why he backed off his vow to label
China a currency manipulator, and are chagrined by his reversal on his position to eliminate the Export-Import Bank.

Still others are concerned about Trump’s lack of progress on reforming the tax code.

Larry Kudlow, a veteran economist who advised Trump’s campaign, expressed dismay that the president hadn’t yet released a tax plan. He said he was beginning to wonder whether the president is about to walk back his pledge to cut taxes.

"What is their product?" Kudlow asked. "It doesn't make any sense to me. I'm not giving up hope. But it's looking very shaky to me."

Conservative economist Stephen Moore, who also advised the Trump campaign, said he’s reached out to the White House about the lack of a tax package.

“They're all over the map," he said. "I don't know if they're listening or not."

Then there’s immigration, the issue that catapulted Trump to front-runner status. Activists are increasingly alarmed that the president has yet to follow through on his pledge to rescind protections for undocumented parents and children put in place under former President Barack Obama.

Brenda Sparks, an “angel mom” whose son was killed by an illegal immigrant, appeared onstage with Trump at an August campaign event in Phoenix. She said he promised her that he would overturn the program known Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, in short order.

"I still support Trump but I'm going to hold his feet to the fire," said Brenda Sparks. "He has not lived up to that promise."
While Sparks said she didn't think it would be done immediately, "I had expected it before now."

Michelle Dallacroce, an anti-immigration activist, is more pointed. Immigration is "why we voted for Donald Trump," she said. "This could be the most elaborate reality show. I'm wondering, was this all an illusion for us, using our movement so he could get in there?"

Atlas uses the Ex-Im bank to finance new Boeing 747-8s.

You mean he is a sleazy businessman who said whatever to get in office? Shocker

full of luv

How, are their aircraft registered offshore? Or do you mean they lease back a off-shore financed aircraft to milk the Ex-Im subsidy as a domestic company?

No Land 3

I would of voted for a Woodchuck if it had a chance of beating Hillary.

They are "N" registered aircraft. Atlas owns the planes, they are not leased.
