I’ve heard many people say specific things they don’t like, such as dishonesty, morals, etc.
I also hear people allude that there are things they like.
What are some of the specific things you like about Trump, or his policies, or his administration etc.? Especially things that you think may be unique to this administration vs other Republicans.
I am currently overseas and was asked by a taxi driver this question.

One word: deregulation.

So far, the things I like best are:

1. Lowering corporate income tax
2. Antitrust policy

I'm no expert on trade matters, but believe Trump did the right thing about the TPP. Sanders also opposed it. I think the TPP could undermine environmental regulations. I understand Trump withdrew for different reasons, but if he did the right thing, great.

Just published a few days ago - a common-sense revision of FMCSA's guidance regarding driving commercial motor vehicles for personal use.

So if I understand this correctly, as long as you're empty and heading "home", you can run as off duty even if you're out of hours?

Lowest unemployment rate in 18 years.

Not necessarily. Whether the truck is loaded or empty is no longer a consideration (used to be a loaded truck could never be driven as personal conveyance). Off-duty commuting is allowed between the driver's terminal and his residence or work sites and his residence, but the new guidance does not allow a driver to unload his load at the receiver and then drive for an hour (while off-duty) back to his home past a half dozen motels that have truck parking. The location to which he is driving after getting loaded or unloaded has to be a "nearby, reasonable, safe location."

i agree with above.
one “improved morale” change is seeing most women appointees who appear to be healthy, well-adjusted, balanced, rather than angry and bitter.

FLOTUS dresses with a lot of style, but, her clothes cover her in ways that could be respected in all cultures. these are “figurehead” roles, appearance matters. many cultures are more formal and more conservative than the U.S. it’s possible to insult/offend with dress. i believe effort is made to avoid that.

i am really surprised at the numbers of women appointees.
more important, women who are comfortable with being women while being professional.

i do not notice any mention/appreciation of this.

versus other Republicans? .. not sure.
his willingness to not be steamrolled. his ability to rebound, and move on.

which part of the world are you visiting?!

I’ve said this before- but I think his aggressive and unpredictable negotiating style may advantage him with dictators and autocrats - like Kim Jong Un, over and against more diplomatic and placating presidents like Obama.
