And that this is why Trump's supporters elected him to be our nation's President?

Everything from cracking down hard on illegal criminals to working very closely with law enforcement to increasing border security and homeland security to withdrawing the U.S. from TPP to reducing regulations on businesses to restricting travel from nations that have strong ties to terrorism...

Trump talked about all of these things numerous times over and over again during his hundreds of campaign stops. Again, this is what the American electorate VOTED for him on.

Did all the anti-Trumpers and protesters out there not get the memo? What were all of these people doing on November 8?

You are correct in that he is attempting to do much of what he promised. It frightened many Americans back during the campaign and scares them even more now. You have to realize that Trump was not supported by the majority of Americans and did not even get the most votes on election day. The resistance to Trump should therefore be no surprise.

Of course. Why do you think we don't like him?

Btw... drain the swamp is one is sure rolled on. Along with prosecuting Clinton.

But, his vanity wall and the Muslim hatred? Yeah... he hopped right on those.

Doing exactly what he said he would do? That's the problem. Someone could run for president and say he will take us back to Jim Crow and make it happen. Does it make it right? Again Trump doesn't have a mandate. The majority of Americans wanted Hilliary and he only won because of the electoral college.

Lightbulb Do anti-Trump people realize that President Trump is doing EXACTLY what he said he would do during his campaign?

I realize this:

1) He promised to jail Hillary. Crickets...
2) He promised to resurrect our infrastructure. Silence...
3) He promised to bomb ISIS into the stone age and take their oil. Bold talk...
4) He promised to leave SS, Medicare and Medicaid intact. Sounds like he wants vouchers/privatization...

Carry on.

Let me tell you this - he sure ain't 'draining the swamp" and that was a big promise.

This is the swampiest cabinet I've ever seen. Goldman Sacs executives that bought and paid for their jobs including billionaire Betsy Devos.

Nonsense. Leftists are doubly whammed---choking on his sensible and patriotic actions and eating Crow because he's fulfilling his promises, something they said he wouldn't do. So of course we get this whining from the entitled left.

Yes we realized this was his plan...and it's why he lost the popular vote by more than 3 million votes.

Voting for someone who wasn't a bigoted racist sexist pig.

He is not a Dictator but a President whose power is not limitless. His power comes from the law and the Law is Ruling through the Judicial System.
