Drain the swamp!

New blood needed for a new direction.

I didn't realize that when Trump said: "We're going to win so big, you're going to get tired of winning" that he meant we would keep winning big this early!

Every day I am loving this Trump presidency.

Keep it up, Trump.

Not even a week in, some promises already fulfilled, and the swamp critters are draining themselves.

This is fantastic!

So, yeah... he had about as much experience as one can reasonably expect from an incoming President.
All a stretch to be kind. Obama had little previous government experience, was a first termer that slacked-off in the Senate like he did as President.
His experience as a Constitutional Lawyer is laughable!

He was the cool Black dude that was excused at every turn because of who he was. He was like a character from the show "Good Times"----Chicago and all!

President Trump's work ethic and progress in just a week only exposes how incompetent your boy Obama was.

Get real if that's even possible!

But, he just kept right on tweeting nonsense. He was inaugurated and he's been going on and on about crowd sizes and illegal voters (hello! he won) and he has appointed completely inexperienced people at every turn.
You have to ask yourself whether he is dumb for doing this or if people are dumb for not letting it die? It's not something that is going to lose him support. So if it is the headlines, is it harming or hurting him?

It's disconcerting. And it's not about party politics at all. I'd say that if a democrat landed in office and said some of the stuff he's said.

Switch this whole thing around and put Clinton there and if she was tweeting nonsense about trivial stuff like offenses over ratings and SNL and she was appointing nothing but high-cash donors with zero experience, signing EOs like mad (last count he'd signed 12 and we're not even at a full week of him in office... Obama only signed 5)... going on interviews and repeatedly pointing out his crowd photos and rambling about the dishonest media...

I'd wonder if she'd had some sort of brain injury or finally buckled to some stress.

I mean it. Billions on a wall?

Good grief.

ETA: never showing his taxes like he promised... not fully divesting and showing proof of this... yeah... if Clinton did that, right wingers would be frothing at the mouth.
Which would be the thing people should concern themselves over? Her rants about SNL or who she was appointing? If people were going off about something irrelevant, does that not make getting the relevant stuff easier?

Yeah, give me a break.......

How do you know? It hasn't been a week yet.

The "cabinet" that just left was voted out by the American people. Fair and square.

I can pass my opininated judgement on those that just left. their job is over (thankfully) and they did a miserable job.

On May 1, 2017 (the 100 day mark) Trump will get my first "report card".

Until then, nobody should say a damned thing, there is NO basis upon which to issue an opinion.

I've pointed this out for months and some take it as a defense of Trump. It is no such thing. (though Obama was extremely far from being a Communist)

Trump made an election promise over the wall, over NAFTA, the TPP, etc..

And now people seem to be upset because he appears to be keeping those promises.

Would you rather have a President that breaks those promises on his/her first day in office? Or was that what people expected?

Ergo, no foreign SERVICE experience.
He knws how to negotiate, manage and deal with world business leaders. That is an awesome resume for secretary of state.. Politics and business are no different. And he is a very intelligent person, who more than likely will understand current policys.. Obama had zero foreign experience, and you voted twice for him as POTUS. think about it. He never had to manage a payroll, ever. No business or foriegn experience. None.

For an encore he'll have the illegals self deporting themselves.

He still needs Congressional approval for funding the wall.

Obama, an expert on Constitutional law, what a laugh

"Obama never published a single law paper. He was hired by the University of Chicago when they learned he had been given a book contract on race and law directly after graduating from Harvard. There was no book – just the contract, which he later reneged on. This is not the normal level of accomplishment for a University of Chicago professor or even lecturer.

Obama was not capable of writing, and eventually, after failing to deliver, he changed it to a memoir, which he also struggled with. Finally, he asked Bill Ayers to write his memoir for him, using tapes that Michelle dropped off at the Ayerses'."
