Following right along in Obamas footsteps. Obama is probably smiling about how Trump is following along in his footsteps with creating new laws and ignoring the role Congress is supposed to play in the process and using the power of the Presidential EO to create new laws instead. That's kind of what wannabe dictator styled Presidents like to do it isn't it?

So much for Trump wanting to restore the rule of law and the Constitution and faith in government in America. Turns out to be just so much typical hot air campaign rhetoric when the dust settles.
