Of course, Metsfan53 is an impeccable source of information that applies to each and every Trump voter, so they'd be foolish not to heed his advice.

Trumps EPA policy is harmful and includes eliminating the GLRI funding which would halt the clean up of the great lakes. Our drinking water comes from Lake Michigan. The 1% businesses would greatly benefit from deregulation, but that's the bottom line and all that really matters in this epic good old boy network.

Personally, he blocked my husband's federal detail. He's had us living in limbo about a new job since January.


Now that might not be very significant in the grand scheme of things but that is how his actions have affected me personally.

Pulled us out of the Paris Climate Accord (Thank God!)

Massive lift of Government regulations

Religious Freedoms Executive Bill signed

EPA mandate to lift regulations on coal and energy sectors

Have signed 34 Republican bills into law

Dakota Access and Keystone Pipeline is back in operation

Stopped Federal funding to abortion groups

The UN will officially be defunded.

The bid process to build the wall has begun.

Deporting of criminal illegal aliens up over 400%

Sanctuary cities are being defunded (corrupt judge’s ruling will not hold up)

A freeze on refugees coming from terror nations

America is finally PULLING OUT OF TPP

A freeze order on hiring federal employees

A freeze on ALL of Obama's regulations

Dodd-Frank will be repealed (finally)

Head of ISIS killed

Cancelling of all of Obama’s illegal executive orders

Executive order to stop Obamacare penalties will bankrupt Obamarcare

The list is too long………….

I agree that he has done most of this and it's a good thing. However, he didn't rescind Obama's EO on DACA as he said he would and currently reports are (if true) his administration has approved 17,000 new applicants. What's up with that?

I'd like to see proof that Trump's base mostly lives in trailer parks and sits around cursiing out blacks, gays and "legal" Mexicans, wouldn't you? I won't hold my breath though and I'm sure you won't either. It's just the usual liberal lies and spin.

Trump doesn't budge on eliminating Great Lakes cleanup funding | MLive.com


It looks like the clean up has been funded for one more year thanks to the over whelming blow back from everyone effected by the loss of the funding. One year and 300 mil. is a drop in the bucket compared to what's needed to clean up the mess. My hope is that in a year from now the public and blow back will be back before the destruct-or and chief has his way. Does anyone know if the Dodd Frank regulation was repealed in the senate? The vote was last week I think.

Absolutely, but his is what a lot of his base thinks--that he was a renegade who came to town to shake up Washington. Not really. He was born w/ a silver spoon in his mouth. Any one see the show on Front Line, I think it was, show about him and his growing up? His chauffeur, at age 8 or 9 would take him around for his paper route? Sounds like a real maverick, huh? Lol. A rich guy who knew how to play people for his own benefit. Con artist mostly.
