But you knew that already, right?

Yes, apart from Trump's appalling internet spying bill that allows internet providers to sell your internet history to anyone they want without notifying you, what exactly has Trump done legislatively that's so great?

The only things he's actually "accomplished" have been through executive orders. Trump has gotten very little done in terms of legislation.

Much like his wife's surgeries?

Sorry, cheap shot, but I just couldn't resist.

I don't think that's a mass traction demand

There are a lot of us out there that don't want Trump (or any President) to "do" much; we simply want to prevent our lives' work from being looted by people like yourself who can't seem to understand that.

Really? His promises were all lies and his internet spying bill was what he ran on during the campaign to gain support?

Amazing all the temper tantrums the left-wing nut-job contingent is throwing over these "cosmetic" orders. You'd think they were deranged, disturbed or something. Perhaps they should seek treatment before Obamacare is repealed?

His internet spying bill had 6% public support. Thats his main legislative achievement so far. So internet providers can do whatever they want with your internet history including selling it to the highest bidder and your life will be improved as a result of this?

It is not the responsibility of the state to meddle in the economy; we have prospered and developed to a point where the basic human needs can be easily provided, and the private sector can do so via a continued, but decentralized safety net-- and only if local authorities are given the power to identify and exclude the professionally-parasitic who are ensconced at the absolute center of the anti-Trump coalition.

I don't want more of my personal life handed over to Madison Avenue and its sycophants; but this is merely one of the lesser of many evils. And the correct remedy is to repeal and reduce the centralization of all governmental authority.

The single most unfortunate side effect of the evolution of the globalized post-industrial economy is that most of the roles which evolve (government does not "create jobs", BTW) are neither well-paying nor particularly intellectually-challenging, and I can offer no rose-colored answer to this. But further surrender of individual liberties to Big Brother/Sister, (who are far more popular among the faux humanitarians out there in Deep Left Field), is not the answer.
