Do anti-Trump people realize that President Trump is doing EXACTLY what he said he would do during his campaign?
Like repealing ACA on day one?

Like installing a muslim ban, only to insist it is not a muslim ban?

Like making Mexico pay for a wall, only to turn to Congress to beg for money?

The funny thing is that people are actually hoping he will NOT do the things he said he would like massive tax hikes on the borders, because it would be horribly damaging.

AND do Trump supporters realize that the 67 million people that voted for Hillary,the three million more than for Trump don't want him to do what he is doing so they are protesting and calling Trump out on everything he is doing?Why would Trump supporters be surprised,did you think people would lie down and not complain....you know like all of you did during the eight years of Obama???




Oh and to add he is doing it just as bad as the 67 million thought he would.

And why should he act like anything else?

He has no experience being anything but the leader of a huge successful business. I give him props for his business sucess, but being a success in private enterprise doesn't mean an individual has a clue about running a government. And he doesn't.
He's not even a successful businessman.

It shouldn't' be shocking you are absolutely right, but it is. For me each day I am appalled by the administration and their actions. Tearing America apart piece by piece.

Personally I'd rather see someone who is rich before they take office than someone who gets rich while in office.
Good point!

Fine.....why don't you share with the class exactly why you think Betsy Devos bought her way to Secretary of Education?

How much did she pay? (I'm assuming you have some kind of proof, yes?)

What was her motivation for spending her way into government? (You think she has some pyramid scheme on selling textbooks door to door?)

She's already a billionaire, there are certainly positions in government where she could more easily line her pockets even further if that was her goal.

What is your motivation for equating wealth with corruption?

Sensible and patriotic? Don't make me laugh.

Your entire premise is bogus, as I never said one single word about her "buying her way into the cabinet."

Just go back and read the link I posted.

He creates an immigration ban that didn't work, so now he may just do another EO and see of that works.

He gives Bannom the highest security clearance without reading the EO and has no idea that's what he's done.

To me it's shocking that someone who isn't the leader of the free world is not putting any thought into his actions. Insanity.
AMY WALTER, The Cook Political Report:

Whether this impedes their ability to actually get stuff done is the real question. So, does it matter? It matters if it matters, right? If the lack of clear lines of delineation, if the infighting is preventing them from actually putting legislation on the Hill, getting an Obamacare replacement, passing tax law, then it is a very big deal.

If it is just — and, again, remember, this is a president who ran — as a candidate, his campaign looked exactly like this. So the chaos is something that he is either likes or thinks is important, but it didn’t deter him and it didn’t stop him from winning in the first place.

[in three weeks more than other presidents in an entire administration.]?

Not the most recent president. President Obama at this point, literally on this day, the Senate passed his stimulus bill. And that was soon going to be signed into law. So, we haven’t seen anything even get up to the Hill, nonetheless a major piece of legislation getting passed.

Is the focus on his staff keeping President Trump from making policy? | PBS NewsHour

I have no problem with rich people. I'm doing well better than average myself...

My problem is with people who think being rich is all that matters or for whom it matters too much as compared to the attributes that truly matter when it comes to judging a POTUS. My problem is also with a political system that more and more seems to make being rich some sort of prerequisite to be a candidate for Senator or POTUS in America. I've got a problem with a few other issues related to all this as well, but right now my problem is mostly that Trump is POTUS, period.
