This is Monkey Business

In 10 days Donald Trump will have reached the one year mark into his four year Presidency. Today, he opened up cameras into his hour long immigration meeting giving the American People an inside look of just how skilled he is at negotiating with Republican and Democratic leadership on Capitol Hill.

What we found out was just how disjointed the President is on a topic that affects over 11 million illegal immigrants and just under one million DACA recipients. The President claimed that he wanted bipartisan support to push a clean DACA Bill and supported comprehensive immigration reform. This is a side that the Democrats have been proposing throughout the Presidential Campaign and a side that Donald Trump was against during the Presidential Debates.

The cries for help along the rust belt may not be heard. The States that voted for a President to protect border security with a big beautiful wall will probably go unnoticed. The President showed today that he was not articulate in the government policies of immigration and did not convincingly choose a path to lead an effort to pass any immigration reform through bipartisanship. Unfortunately, we will probably be witnessing the start to the 2018 year with instability, recklessness, and wavering opinions surrounding the direction the Country is headed.

Surely, the stock market is up which means that the President is doing his job with excellence. He was able to appoint a Supreme Court Justice. The House and Senate passed legislation in 2017. We did not go to war with North Korea. What is unsettled, is whether the rust belt will see an influx of investment to the people that need it the most. Healthcare costs will become reduced and millions will remain covered. Free trade will be replaced with fair trade.

Although there are some accomplishments worth noting, there is a lot of monkey business going on. Bill Maher released this photo of what he thought was an ancestor to Donald Trump. The way Mr. Trump is acting, there could actually be some irony behind the photo when historians look back at Mr. Trump's Presidential Term. Regardless of which side of the aisle you are on, we deserve a President who is the President for the People of the United States.
