You can't Make America Great Again without throwing more people in jail for pot.
I just don't get how smart, successful people can be so stupid on certain issues....

Dow Jones just hit 25,000.
I do wonder how much more popular Trump would be if he didn't spend a year tweeting nonsense and the Republicans were more unified.
if he didnt push the borderline racist bullshit from the start of his campaign in an attempt to pull in the alt right types he could have, imo, made the same move with a more centered base. granted at the time no one thought he could pull enough from the fringes, let alone from the center, to win. so i understand that he chose what was likely the best path. the truth is many people have been waiting for someone who's brash and doesnt bandy words, he's just a step too far in many cases and is easily caught up in bullshit.
fix the optics surrounding the white house and pull a bit to center, you can even run a trickle down econ tax policy. but tough on crime policies wont win him any friends, and legal pot stocks are a big market he's fucking with in relation to rising stocks. there arent a lot of whales in that market but a whole bunch of fishes, and its pretty easy for a fish to starve compared to a whale. not that im worried long run, im just going to buy up the cheap stocks once they crash for a rainy day portfolio of a few hundred dollars. ive been waiting for a year for this to happen, i just figured it wouldnt because i thought Trump was going to dump Sessions. one of the only people dumb enough to push this through.
