He neutered it immediately by removing the enforcement. Cut it off at the knees early. Waiting for Congress to do their job.

Trump said he would repeal and replace Obamacare, and I quote, "It will be essentially simultaneously," Trump said. "The same day or the same week ... could be the same hour."

Trump says Obamacare replacement could come at same 'hour' as repeal


Yet on day 42 of Trumps presidency, he says "nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated." Yes, Donald. A lot of people knew, actually. That's why it is such a difficult issue to tackle. But I thought Trump already knew that as he promised repeal and replace could "essentially happen on the same day" he was elected.


Conservatives....thoughts?

Yes it is quite shocking that he is following through his campaign promises. We are more used to our leaders tricking us with false promises so it seems too good to be true that we actually found a leader who is getting work done & seems to cares about us more than rest of the world. We were always told that we should over compensate, feel perpectually guilty & treat even our enemies with respect but dont expect anything in return.

Please continue. Don't let facts get in your way of political hatred.
But there's a big difference between the other presidents you listed and Trump. Trump has only been president about 44 days. That's a lot of EOs to be in office 1 1/2 months, especially considering he has a Republican House and Senate on his side.

I guess you like to IGNORE ALL the EO/M's Obama issued in is first month as president.

But, of course you didn't care then.

Obviously from the reaction against the EOs - something is getting done.

The EOs are being enacted through law enforcement, in the case of the those having to do with immigration.

Obama passed plenty of EOs that were being acted on.

President Trump learned from what you probably believe is the best President ever. So what is good for the Goose is good for the Gander!

Don't think that's correct. Memory tells me it was Clinton I believe.

When it comes to actual big ticket policy items, we have seen very little from Trump. Even Trump supporters will admit that.

All Trump has done thus far is sign a bunch of random executive orders and then hold them up and show them to the photographers like a 3rd grader proud of his art project.
As Chuckie boy and his crew of creeps try to put road blocks in front of the appointments of Trump's cabinet.
