Here are some post-election reasons to be optimistic, even if, like me, you have had or still have your reservations about Donald Trump: Trump the tax-cutter . Trump the ISIS-fighter . Trump the open door on immigration . Trump the free trader : Trump has consistently stressed that he is for free trade, he just wants better deals. Take him at his word, for now, at least. Trump the progressive on gay rights . it even from the vehemently anti-Trump New York Times: "Donald Trump's More Accepting Views on Gay Issues Set Him Apart in G.O.P." Trump the proof that money doesn't buy elections . He could be a good president. Certainly, his victory in itself is an impressive accomplishment. He took on the press and won . Trump has some high quality people around him . Conservative judges . ObamaCare's days are numbered . Some stars in Congress . Brian Mast , a double-amputee combat veteran of the Army Special Forces who did graduate work at Harvard and is a phenomenal public speaker and friend of Israel. These guys are strong players. Donald Trump has built a lot of golf courses. In thinking about him, one has to be realistic. As my late grandmother (like Trump a New Yorker and the daughter of an immigrant) used to say, "It could be worse." by Ira Stoll | Nov 9, 2016 at 2:36 pm Related Topics: Health Care , Immigration , New York , Politics , Press , Taxes receive the latest by email: subscribe to the free futureofcapitalism.com mailing list en Ira Stoll ## 1 Reader Comments
