Lol at the arrogance of Republicans in general. I don't think most Republcian voters even care about the major issues at hand; they just wanted Trump to beat Hillary. Lets see what the country is like in two years. I think it's pretty obvious that Trump isn't going to bring back a single coal mining job, or a manufacturing job in the Rust Belt. Do people not realize that he outsourced jobs at his own companies?

I accept the results of the election and i'm not mad, but Trump clearly came along at the perfect time and ran against the perfect candidate. Biden or Sanders would have held onto the Rust Belt and won the election in my opinion though.

Oh and by the way, the Rust Belt is full of swing voters; don't assume that it is lost based on the results of one election.

So Republicans, you can be arrogant all you want. Just realize that your arrogance and gloating over beating Hillary Clinton do nothing for your futures or the futures of your children; Trump and the Republicans actually have to put forth a plan and govern. If they don't, well then you can kiss any chance he has of reelection goodbye, and you can also kiss Republican majorities goodbye.

Trump can, and will, enact policies that will increase jobs in coal and oil.  At a minimum, he will stop the loss of coal jobs, however temporary that may prove to be.

I don't expect him to bring jobs back, at least not immediately.  But I think he can, and will, take action to stop the flow of jobs outside the US.  

And how does he plan to do that when a majority of the Republicans in congress support these free trade deals he is supposedly against? This isn't like the Apprentice where he can just fire whoever he doesn't like, he actually has to work with congress. My guess is that he won't be this revolutionary that so many of his voters think he will be; he will just blindly follow his cabinet and also congress and it will be business as usual with the middle class and poor getting screwed and the wealthy benefiting from large tax cuts.
