I disagree. No one person in our government can make the kinds of changes that would cause any catastrophic damage to our economy. Even if he/she is President. Any change is going to have to go through the House and Senate, and they want to be re-elected, too.

It's all just talk. As far as I'm concerned, it business as usual today, and will be in January, too. No worries.

I'm getting my resume up to date starting today.

Omg people........if you don't have to go to work for a few weeks I suggest smoking a joint so you can RELAX!

Not everything he's pushing for will get passed. That's just a given with any new president and even if what he's striving for does we'all get to keep more of our money. Lower taxes....

Hillary was bought by the ME3.

Trump (supposedly) doesn't like Muslims.

Which one would sell us out to the ME3?????

Give me a break.

Hillary was going to KILL our industry to put a couple bucks in her pocket.

not sure where you get your Intel.....futures were down overnight, but the NYSE, S+P, and Nasdaq are all up right now......doesn't seem like "tanking"

I'm embarrassed to read that there are some "educated" pilots on here that thought that beyatch was worthy of one vote. President Trump........let freedom ring from sea to shining sea!!!!
