While You Obsessed Over Trump’s Scandals, He’s Fundamentally Changed The Country

This is a defining feature of the Trump administration: While scandal and squabble, palace intrigue and provocative tweets suck much of the oxygen out of the room ― and leave the impression of mass government disfunction ― a wide array of fundamentally Trump-minded reform is taking place.

BAHAHAHAH! Trump, you magnificent bastard! I need to read your book!

Much like how Dem administrations (Clinton, 0bama...) got things done under the radar.

See, Dems? We can play this game, too!! (well, at least Trump can. Most Repub folding cheap suits would be horrified at such things).

I notice the Huff&Puff has no comments.

Unintentionally feel-good article of the day, for those who fret that POTUS isn’t able to get stuff done. He’s getting stuff done! As Bill Mitchell says, “when the crowd’s booing you, just look at the scoreboard”.

Isn’t this what you’ve been saying all long?

The reality versus the screams from the left and the former so called conservatives with severe DTS! This is a defining feature of the Trump administration: While scandal and squabble, palace intrigue and provocative tweets suck much of the oxygen out of the room ― and leave the impression of mass government disfunction ― a wide array of fundamentally Trump-minded reform is taking place.

Damn, they are starting to notice.

[LS]

Exactly.

[scottinoc]

Don’t worry, they’ll still obsess over Russia fantasies ad nauseam. Their audience has a short attention span for actual policy.

[LS]

That’s why I’m not concerned that one or two get the “cheese in the maze.”

The majority are just too arrogant.

Not only is he getting stuff done, he is cutting off a lot of funding to progressives. Getting out of the Paris agreement cost progressives hundreds of billions over 30 years. Getting out of the TPP cost the same. For each group of people that he helps, like the beef industry or LNG exports, he brings to our side an industry that will work to keep him the status quo.

In a video that was made of the opening remarks of one of his sessions with large companies that he had at the White House, he remarked that given a choice between lower taxes and lower regulations, companies were telling him to lower regulations. As the head of the executive brank, he can do that all day long, for eight years, and have a tremendous effect on the economy.

It didn’t occur to the Obamabots that actions taken with a pen and a phone could be reversed with a pen and a phone?
