Trump won't care who he sabotages, as he'd never even consider running for re-election, himself.
If his popularity slides further into the cellar, he will be pleased, as he sees himself as an opponent of everyone, except the 1%.
I'm reminded of those who followed the fake polls and concluded that Hillary would win by a landslide.

Executive orders are always bad when they go beyond the power granted to the President in the constitution, as Obama did many times when congress wouldn't give him what he wanted.

An Executive Unbound: The Obama Administration

Great job trying to play the race card, but this is about following the law and the constitution. nothing else.

Here's a tip. Stop the personal attacks. They are not substitute for argument.
Sorry, Waldo, but you're the one who opened the door to discussions about health by noting that 'Trump certainly has stamina'. I'm just riffing along......

But if you're saying that you never questioned the health of Hillary Clinton, then would you like me to link some things you posted on C-D where you did impugn the health status of HRC?

The topic isn't about me and shame on you for trying to make it so. You accused me of saying she would not make it to 2017. Prove it. I never said this.

On the other hand, I did say many times that she doesn't look healthy. Anyone who passes out on the street either has physical or substance abuse issues. That is fair game.

How does one "impugn" the health of someone who was/is clearly ill? I guess being tossed into a van like a side of beef or is hacking like a 5 pack a day smoker of unfiltered Pall Malls is something that happens to healthy people all the time?

As for the OP, I've heard from a couple of news sources (NBC/FOX) that he intends to sign a few orders right after he's sworn in and then start fresh on Monday.

It would seem that you would take great joy at seeing tens of millions lose their healthcare, starve or freeze and choke on polluted air. The message you and several others on this thread are apparently sending, is that all these people will finally get what they deserve. Most of the usual bunch has flocked here, to reassert their sociopathic delight at what they hope is coming. What a pathetic existence it must be, to regard the other non-Trump supporting 75% of the population as enemies.

We actually own most of this country, and we pay for the rest of you.

Of course we sit in the back. Do you think I drive my own car? That's what a driver is for.

If you believe there was ever going to be room made for you, I have some hilarious (to me) news.
