Can't Trump Just Follow Obama's Precedent to Wield His Own 'Law'?

Imagine if the Trump Administration were to make its own de facto "law" in deciding which mandatory federal government functions it doesn't have to perform.

For instance, if there were an imminent jihadist attack on sanctuary state California, could the Trump Administration take a cue from the Obama Administration, and summarily decide that it just doesn't have to inform California public safety officials.

Or if the Oroville Dam were to go over the top, could Trump decide, a la Obama, "those Californians didn't vote for me" (as Obama might have decided, "those descendants of colonialists deserve to be punished for their ancestors' sins", the 44th Administration's main theme dubbed "Get Even With Them Ism"), so they get no FEMA aid?

These conflicts were decided upon long ago by the likes of Soros, to break down local cultural loyalty, to make the once-strong populations of the industrial world more compliant and easier to govern.

Thank you. I know some folks are pretty hostile to Trump over DACA. While it is something I think should be addressed, it would give the Left a very powerful policy to trash Trump over right now, and we do have bigger fish to fry IMO.

I appreciate you taking the time to describe it to me as you see it. Your take looks pretty reasoned to me.

Why not go from a bad emperor to a good one? We have enough examples in history as to why this is a terrible idea.

The creeping powers of the executive branch is something else we are trying to roll back.

The Republicans are waiting for him to do that so they can impeach him.

LOL Nothing.

If we become what the enemy is to defeat him, we will only have defeated ourselves.
