2. America was supposed to be respected again
3. The deficit was supposed to go away rapidly
Were not going to have a $400 billion deficit. That will go away rapidly..."

Hopefully some who have since seen what Trump is, but I'm pretty sure his popularity level around here is right about the same as the bubonic plague.
