How will Trump's win improve your life?
I don't have to worry about being blasted by Hillary nuclear war with Russia.
That is my biggest improvement.

Excellent work RedPillUK. Which bookmaker did you use?
Betfair, like myself and few others. Not sure if it gave the best rates but has been super simple to use and paid out immediately.
Betfair Exchange to be exact. I think it's different to the main company. It has good odds because you bet against other people rather than the bookmaker apparently. Although they take a commission to make their money instead.
My life has definitely improved already, although it could be because I've got a good job this week so I'm enjoying my life much more. However now I can troll liberals and know that I'm in the majority. Life is already great.

Good question and good topic! I've been wanting to post this for a while but this gave me a good opportunity.
I posted about some of this in the "Dislike for members of your ethnicity" thread: thread-58648...pid1410986
The point is, people pushing back as much as they can at me makes me work a lot harder and it makes the victory that much sweeter. I've been doing this throughout my life. Obviously, so has Trump.
During the election cycle, let's say January, my book of business went down from where it should have been, to the point that I would have been likely performing at less that 50% of the minimum standard. I'm in sales for consulting services.
Part of my demise was taking my foot off the gas pedal. Once you do that, sometimes you can't go back because the effects of this may not show up until a few months later just like a car doesn't fully stop when you take your foot off the pedal.
I busted my ass trying to get back up. Here's how:
My sales are built on meetings. The more people I meet face to face, the higher likelihood that they call me for a sale. I'm talking about mostly NEW customers. That's not easy. I made a commitment to myself and secondarily to my boss (a very red pill woman) that I will give her the best. The minimum standard would have been about 50 meetings in 2 full working months. HOWEVER, I also had a pre-planned vacation during the second month with my family. I got pushback on it that I should carefully think about taking vacation. In sales organizations, this can become a problem. That said, they respected me enough to let me make the decision. My decision was to take the vacation and still make my goal. I pushed HARD. By that I mean I was scheduling meetings left and right. I was calling random people on the phone, emailing marketing materials, tracking marketing. Every single possible thing I could do. That first month, I had 41 meetings. The second month, I think I had 20 meetings. That's not only 60+ meetings but also about 80% of them were with new clients. I took my vacation, came back and about two months later, my book of business doubled; a few more months later, it tripled. We have a "President's club" going on for the top sales people in the firm. I have won it pretty much every single month except for a tie the first month. I'm now one of the top sales people in the company. One of the partner's even said "Cobra, where you're at right now.... It's like walking around with your dick out of your pants."
I mentioned to this partner the other day "Man, there were times that you guys believed in me a lot more than I did. All I could do was keep going."
Had I been able to do it without being a fellow shitlord in the Trump campaign? Maybe. Did seeing Trump not hold back and work even harder in the wake of the bull shit thrown at him cause a surge of "high energy?" Abso...fucking...lutely!
My next (and final) Finance Data Sheet will cover this journey and I will share what I learned about myself and others, including reading body language and buying signals.

I won quite a few thousands betting on Trump, never having bet or gambled on anything in my life (would've put down more money if I understood how betting sites work better), which paid for part of my engagement holiday and wedding ceremony.
I'm marrying a traditional and feminine woman who wants to be my helper so I can be a patriarch like Trump, and produce a bunch of attractive smart great children. We won now, but to keep winning this cultural war into the future, we need to make our demographics great again too!
The biggest thing about Trump's win for me, being outside of the US, is that Hillary and her backers won't get to provoke Russia into another Cold War, or God forbid, WW3. That's totally outside of my control so I'm glad I now have the chance to raise a family in peace.
The second biggest thing is that his win has shown all the experts to be completely full of shit. I have now gained a lot more confidence, not that I was short on it previously, in my own abilities to determine the direction and success of my family. We neo-masculine men are much more capable than the highly paid experts in their own fields, and we can accomplish many great things.

I've spent years getting myself in a situation that is insulated from changing political landscape. I've made more than I've needed to live for a long time and spread that excess investing and savings around a large variety or vehicles. None of Trumps proposed regulatory or economic proposals would effect my portfolios all much, but I'm expecting a slight bump if he actually follows through on a few of his points.
Robust tariffs on Chinese imports might hit a few spots, but a reduction in corporate tax rates he's proposed would likely have the opposite effect. As much as he has publicly stated at disapproval of Amazon of Jeff Bezos, lowering the corporate and income tax rates would be a boon for both. He's not taken a public stance on capital gains, but I expect there will be pressure from congress. Negotiating a return of offshore cash back into the US would be huge and possibly the biggest part of his legacy if he can pull it off.
He's going to have a hell of a time getting the the GOP members of congress to approve protectionist measures; their bread has been getting buttered for too long by those interests to change overnight. They Keystone XL project will probably get pushed though now however.
I'm tentatively optimistic about his statements concerning cronyism in the FDA blocking innovation, but not enough yet to alter any of my positions in that market. Its possible that their could be huge gains investing in a current "loser" in the medical/pharma industry right now who's been the victim of said cronyism blocking a truly great innovation. That whole system is so dysfunctional right now though, I doubt anyone can really foresee accurately. If he actually prioritizes this early, I expect moves by major VC and investment aggregates.
The culture change stuff that many on this forum are so very excited about, I think you'll be disappointed. Donald Trump is less an agent of change than a symptom. He is the crest of a wave that he didn't build as much and he noticed it and climbed to the top of. He is like a human Rorschach drawing; people see what they want to see in him. I'd advise the enthusiastic Trump supporters to actually read his books and interviews from before he started running for office.
Also, if you haven't, read is actual platform statements here: https://assets.donaldjtrump.com/_landing...actv02.pdf
A few I find noteworthy.
*Six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC:
All of these are going to be hard. He has to get the congress members from both party to agree to give up the lucrative post-congress careers they were expecting when they ran in the first place. I expect him to pretend to be serious about these but later drop them as a bargaining strategy for other issues. He's a world class bargainer, he's likely intended this from the beginning.
*Seven actions to protect American workers:
Nafta and TPP repeal will be tough. I think he has a juice to do it, but it'll be a fight. Both of these have the potential to immediately effect the standard of living for average Americans by increasing the cost of consumer goods. We would eventually find a new equilibrium, but the "Buy American" constituency is no more prepared for the actual cost of American made goods than anyone else.
The "foreign trading abuses" stuff is so vague its useless to speculate on, read his books for his actual stance on these (hint: Manhattan Billionaire)
The energy stuff he has a fair chance of getting his way on, but is again terribly vague. Keystone will probably see movement, Obama was the major hurdle there, especially if the price of oil rises again in the short term.
The climate change payments to the UN I don't know enough about but it sounds fascinating.
*The Middle Class Tax Relief and Simplification Act:
A determined president could spend an entire 8 year Presidency working on this and get half of it done, if they are lucky. It sounds awesome on paper if you don't know how much lobbying power you are encountering. I'm not talking about lobbying opposition either. The middle class rate reduction is easy, he can get that if he is serious. But the idea of opening up the Books for "massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief and lifting the restrictions on American energy." will have every Special Interest that ever was, fighting tooth and nail to lobby that their particular niche of the economy needs the most "reduction and simplification", doing everything in their power to isolate their interests from as much tax for as long as possible. Tax policy isn't just a series of sliders you can turn up and down like in SimCity, its thousands of pages of Special Exemptions and protections and earmarks and other considerations fought long and hard for by very well funded interests. He has a chance to leave an incredible legacy here if he really can "simplify" the tax code. Good luck Donald Trump.
The School Choice stuff and Obama Care, he'll probably get his way there. Most of the actual problems with The Affordable Care act are completely unknown to its opponents; they just want to shit on Obama's legacy. They are right, but for the wrong reasons.
Immigration will be interesting. It was huge part of his campaign and he continues to speak about it post victory. I actually expected him to dial back on that one hard. Whatever happens, it should be interesting to watch. An increase in H1Bs would be nice (for my personal economic interests, that is the topic of the thread despite my huge digression into policy)
The rest of the platform is terribly vague or simply reiterates previous entries.
td;dr How will Trump's win improve your life? Expecting a modest bump in my investment portfolios. I also really enjoy the terribly smart people on the TV struggle with their cognitive dissonance, but we probably only have a few more months of that. I am curious to see if he follows though on his promise to instruct the DOJ to prosecute Hillary. I doubt he will, be he's surprised us all many times. A cultural trend toward holding politicians and government employees (read: police and agents of the court) responsible for their misdeeds would be a sea-change in American thinking. The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment has been toilet paper for decades.

just being able to trust the Federal Government is an improvement on our lives. After 8 years of "everything is awesome, its someone else's fault if things suck and if you don't believe us you are racist" it would be nice to have a change.
President Elect Trump has already made my life better by inspiring respect from certain world leaders, including Duterte.
Before the election, relations between the U.S. and the Philippines were fraying due to Duterte being offended by Obama critiquing his execution of the war on drugs in the Philippines, the fulfillment of a campaign promise to the people of the Philippines.
There was even talk of possible retaliation against Americans in regards to visa requirements, which would have made my life more difficult.
A few days ago, Duterte stated that he does not wish to quarrel anymore with the U.S. and sent good vibes to President Elect Trump.
This is great, the downward trajectory of the relations between the two nations looks like it has been stopped.
Trump isn't even president yet and he already has at least one solid foreign policy accomplishment.
Good stuff.

Personally, as an active-duty military member I don't have to worry about fighting a globalist war with Russia for Hillary's self-aggrandizement.
Plus with the USD surging in value and the CAD dropping due to low oil prices I'm making some good coin on the exchange rate fluctuation.

I think we are going to see the end of political correctness or at least PC has taken a permanent severe blow. In the past week, if I hear "racist", "sexist", "Homophobic", "Xenophobic" etc, it just sounds so stale. The people who say those things, you can tell they lost their confidence and they feel impotent and a little foolish.
Take care of those titties for me.

Trump's first day at the Oval Office after being elected President.*
First briefing by the CIA, Pentagon, FBI:
Trump: We must destroy ISIS immediately. No delays.
CIA: We cannot do that, sir. We created them along with Saudi, Qatar and others.
Trump: The Democrats created them.
CIA: We created ISIS, sir. You need them or else you would lose funding from the natural gas lobby.
Trump: Stop funding Pakistan. Let India deal with them.
CIA: We can't do that.
Trump: Why is that?
CIA: India will cut Balochistan out of Pak.
Trump: I don't care.
CIA: India will have peace in Kashmir. They will stop buying our weapons. They will become a superpower. We have to fund Pakistan to keep India busy in Kashmir.
Trump: But you have to destroy the Taliban.
CIA: Sir, we can't do that. We created the Taliban to keep Russia in check during the 80s. Now they are keeping Pakistan busy and away from their nukes.
Trump: We have to destroy terror sponsoring regimes in the Middle East. Let us start with the Saudis.
Pentagon: Sir, we can't do that. We created those regimes because we wanted their oil. We can't have democracy there, otherwise their people will get that oil - and we cannot let their people own it.
Trump: Then, let us invade Iran.
Pentagon: We cannot do that either, sir.
Trump: Why not?
CIA: We are talking to them, sir.
Trump: What? Why?
CIA: We want our Stealth Drones back. If we attack them, Russia will obliterate us as they did to our buddy ISIS in Syria. Besides we need Iran to keep Israel in check.
Trump: Then let us invade Iraq again.
CIA: Sir, our friends (ISIS) are already occupying 1/3rd of Iraq.
Trump: Why not the whole of Iraq?
CIA: We need the Shi'ite govt of Iraq to keep ISIS in check.
Trump: I am banning Muslims from entering US.
FBI: We can't do that.
Trump: Why not?
FBI: Then our own population will become fearless.
Trump: I am deporting all illegal immigrants to south of the border.
Border patrol: You can't do that, sir.
Trump: Why not?
Border patrol: If they're gone, who will build the wall?
Trump: I am banning H1B visas.
USCIS: You cannot do that.
Trump: Why?
Chief of Staff: If you do so, we'll have to outsource White House operations to Bangalore. Which is in India.
Trump (sweating profusely by now): What the hell should I do as President???
CIA: Enjoy the White House, sir! We will take care of the rest

Someone's butt-hurt.
He already did. By crushing Hitlary and the schemes of the globalists. I don't ask for much and that pretty much made my decade.

I started a thread elsewhere (thread-63187...pid1588320) but was told of this thread and figured I'd post here. Now that Trump has been President for almost 5 months now, how has your life improved in real, concrete, and tangible ways? Real results: money, job, etc. How has Donald Trump being president directly improved your life?
For me: the industry in which my clients operate is in a relatively uncertain state in terms of how it will continue to operate largely due to Trump's reform efforts. I have therefore seen an increase in clients seeking advice on how to navigate regulatory issues and business opportunities going forward, which has caused an increase in my bottom line.
