I don't think anybody really knows. Not his blind supporters and not the goobers screaming about how he is ruining everything and destroying social security and medicare etc etc etc. before ever taking office.
One question back for you though, is he really that much different in that regard than Obama 2008? What we got there turned out to be a whole lot different than the campaign version especially with regards to foreign policy.
Every president has found that getting their agenda in place requires a good deal of compromise, Obama found out in 2008 that it's complicated. Trump is about to find out the same and although Obama came into a bad situation the divisiveness of this government is far worse than it was 8 years ago, if one party came up with a cure for cancer the other side would reject it.
One aspect of Trump's agenda involves no internal criticism apparently -- and any business that does not permit a free exchange of ideas to reveal weaknesses and plan improvements is likely not going to succeed:
Now that Trump is done signing executive orders (I hope) comes the hard part. He needs to convince the GOP that they need to increase defense spending and remove the spending limits imposed back in 2011. He also needs to put through his across the board tax cuts and tax code reform. Also the ACA, immigration and others and it won't be as simple as signing a paper.
There are 30 days gone in his first 100 days and congress is on break this week, he has many, many vacancies out of the 4000 appointed positions in his administration, he should be focusing on getting up to speed.
The many vacancies are concerning. It may indicate his inexperience &/or incompetence. It's even more concerning when viewed as part of Mr. Bannon's harebrained scheme to creatively destroy government in order to remake it in his own image.
Well, the admin created two more positions that were filled when the powers that be fired Carson's second in command and Deare, who Flynn brought in as senior advisor in NSA from a different, admin NSA post.
All done out of fear of criticism past and present...
No wonder Harward ran like a spooked deer...
This admin is just so self-destructive...
And one thing about people who ARE self-destructive...they rarely, rarely admit any problems are their fault.
So good luck as to fixing these issues as time passes...
You have a 70 yr old emotional child running the most powerful Govt in the world, egged on by insiders who lack the skills and, frankly, the desire to offer effective criticism, temper his reactionary behavior.
They want to enact an agenda along specific lines that don't seem tied to democratic and moderate social values.
They do want repression of women's rights, minorities' rights, environmental protections, health care for lower and middle income groups, and social service programs like SS, Medicare, Medicaid...
And they are going after that agenda with conspicuous speed and little finesse...
Although at this point, it seems like an 'Anything Goes' sortof philosophy.
Mr. Trump, his administration & supporters make use of any trick – rational, irrational, rhetorical, nonsensical, sophistical, ridiculous, ribald & so on ... ad infinitum ad absurdum ad nauseum – i.e. 'Anything Goes' in order to advance their cause.

I was told not to ask this question in other threads by our conservative cohorts on here. They said that if I wanted to know, I should start a topic specific thread on it.
OK...we can all agree that Trump is a RINO. Even Repubs know it. However, they've spend the last few decades raining against RINOS. Now, they've elected one. So what was their beef in the first place?
Republicans have been screaming about the influence of the East Coast Ivy League Elite...Trump is East Coast Ivy League Elite, and so are all of his children.
Republicans said that private corporations are in business to make profits for their shareholders, and should do so by any means necessary since they have a duty to the shareholders.
Now they say that the president should go to Indiana and stop a corporation from doing just that.
So tell me...who is Donald Trump and what does he believe in politically/philosophically?
Same as previous presidents.
Poll says gay marriage is opposed by most Americans then against it.
Polls start showing gay marriage more popular...then for it.
Trump's most presidential quality is that he's every bit the lying ***** that most other presidents have been.
