You think that you know it all, but you really haven't been paying attention. Congress hasn't done diddly squat since President Trump was elected. So legislative accomplishments have been basically nothing, but President Trump is not a legislator; he is an executive. You cannot blame him for the absolute and total failure of our Republican controlled legislative branch.
And as an executive President Trump has been accomplishing a great deal, and he has been making a substantial and positive difference in the direction of the country.. We hear about the challenges to his travel ban, but well over 150 other executive orders, memorandum and proclamations have been made, have mostly been unchallenged and have been making real differences. We hear about his appointment of Judge Gorsuch who appears to have been a brilliant pick, but we do not hear about the scores of other lower court appointments that the Trump administration has been making.
President Trump also backed us out of the Paris Climate Agreement which he promised to do. He has called off the attack dogs in the EPA. He has made a huge difference and changes in other agencies and Federal Bureaucracies as well. And the country has responded well in so many ways.
I understand completely where you appear to be coming from... you are a never-Trumper who will belittle President Trump until your dying breath. But it is not his job to pussy foot around and try to negotiate and cajole his own party to send him legislation to sign. It is their job to produce legislation that will help the country reverse course and be sent to his desk to be signed into law. They have shattered the illusions of their constituents and many will pay a price.
It is hard to believe that you can make so many invalid points in a post and then claim them to be “historical fact”. You sir, are not a good student of history, the constitution or the internal workings of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government. You appear to be very confused especially considering that you are “blaming Trump for not bothering to understand the situation”. You are the one who does not appear to understand or accept the current situation.
You assure us that everything is going to keep going as it always has, when the fact is that everything changes all of the time in unpredictable ways. President Trump winning the election is strong evidence of just that.
From the Gateway Pundit last summer, “President Trump is doing all he can for the American people and as a result the economy is on fire with the stock market reaching new all time highs once every four days! In nearly every economic category the US economy is improving under President Trump. In addition, President Trump has implemented numerous executive actions that he promised he would do when running for office. The US is in much better shape in only six months. Americans have hope again due to the real changes this President instituted from the economy to immigration.”
I have been paying attention. As you admit, Congress has done nothing, and his job is to work WITH Congress to get stuff done. I absolutely can blame him for not developing a team within Congress even capable of getting things to the floor. That’s his job. And he is failing at it.
Executive orders mean nothing. As we see with his own ending of DACA, all of his executive orders can, and probably will, be rescinded in the first month of his replacement’s presidency. There are nice things he did, but they won’t last. The meat of the presidency is getting laws passed.
Of course he really hasn’t backed us out of the PCA. We’re stuck in there for 4 years, so he’s going to need to be re-elected to actually make that stick. And he’s still open to negotiations.
I’m not never-Trump. So you clearly fail to understand anything. I’m pointing out where he has clearly failed. Sorry you can’t be bothered to see the truth. But that does change the facts on the ground. Which are:
he has gotten nothing to the floor
and at least 90% of Congress will re-elected next year
Nothing has changed. And anybody telling you it has is lying to you. Watch and learn. Write this down on your calendar for next year:
90% return return
Probably >95%
That is my prediction. When it comes to pass you will know I was right about everything. If it doesn’t start a thread, ping me to it, I will apologize.
