Anyways, to disucss....
What are Trump weaknesses?

The REAL left, guys like me, you know, REALISTS, are going to come back and kick these shithead kids back to the small table.
Stop thought policing, stop telling men they can't look at a picture of a pretty women, stop telling women they should feel bad for watching a certain piece of entertainment, stop telling America they are pieces of shit for watching a movie that doesn't have the perfect percentage of these marginilized groups, for just wanting to fuck off and play video games...
The New Left is 1950 pastors burning rock and roll records.

Trump' weaknesses...he's not a politician, and has no experience.
Which, is kind of a wild card, at this point.

COuld you tell that to the guys running marvel comics now? we've got enough censorship it seems we live under the comics authority again...

Now for weaknesses... Definetly inexperience... Also I'm not sure the republican senate will fully back him up in every reform he wants to make, he might have to seek some support from democrats... or hell... the whole senate might try to screw him over...

Ehh, I am not worried about the comics. They have their fringe characters, Squirell Girl isn't my cup of tea, but I don't have to buy it. I stick with my Bendis books, and light a candle in the window for hope that Ennis comes back to The Punisher. And that Warren Ellis does more than 6 issues of a book.
To be honest, after the Secret Wars, which was Hickman's grand finale, I have pretty much given up on Marvel. Civil War II (main book) has been an interesting event though.

You know, the guy is socially liberal, and fiscally conservative. Despite the crazy statements, he is a moderate. Mass deportations aren't going to happen...there isn't enough money or manpower for something on that scale, it is fantasy land thinking. Now, amnesty/grandfather clauses for existing, I see happening, and a very tight watch on incoming flow.
Otherwise, the racists that were expecting some sort of "kick em out, kick em out" are going to be just as disappointed as the voters for Obama who were expecting free shit.

Most of his cabinet will be establishment, as will naturally be essentially all of congress. I suspect they'll either fully control him, or he'll regularly fire cabinet members in fits of rage, or both. No way will he be able to "drain the swamp" (or even really want to, considering all his business dealings), which is really the main reason by far for which he got elected. As for economic/fiscal and social regression: They'll probably block the worst of his insane protectionism, but everything else is likely to be open season, which is the part that scares the hell outta me. My only sliver of hope is that illegal immigrants aside, now that he's elected he'll tone back down the hatemongering to appease the bigoted (parts of the) base, but if he really ends up not caring at all beyond the prestige of the position, the GOP-controled congress will happily let Pence drive us back into the 1950s while Trump chills out on Camp David.

I don't think many truly expected for trump to kick all illegals, some of them (probably criminals in prisions) will be kicked but I can see an ammesty for the ones that got economical estability or college studies (yeah even if they have a feminist studies major...)

but, kicking all illegals is possible... Eisenhower and pals did it with less than a 1000 people, 300 jeeps and a few jets. Don't underestimate american ability, but the press would call it a prosecution so... is a very bad idea

Right. Criminals, or ones with criminal past, I can see. But most are here, living in clusters in small houses, and send the bulk of their money back home. They aren't the ones that Trump is talking about.
