He HAS NOT been ambiguous on the matter.
Topic one: Afraid he has as far as the public is concerned. This addressed the issue of abortion and right to life. It is as true a statement as it could be.
There will be an election before we see some of the positive results of these executive actions and we could lose the House on a couple issues. It's up to you and others to champion Trump's good actions. That's how it has been for the last 20 years.
Everyone doesn't read FreeRepublic and the little EOs and reg changes are never heard by the voters. As you state. This is Free Republic, and I'd at least like to know that everyone here is aware of these things. I read posts here all the time that make me recognize they don't.
The things that people hear are related to health care and the border and he needs to bring the battle to his new friends. Trump can only do so much. He is implementing our agenda. He is also conducting a direct eMail campaign to get the word out. There's nothing wrong with what he is doing.
We fuss over withholding funds from Sanctuary cities and never mention they are breaking several federal crimes, why is that? You don't just one day cut off cities who have declared themselves sanctuary cities. There is a process, and Trump is pursuing it.
We let a district Judge claim they have issued a precedent decision on immigration not based on the law but on what Trump may do in the future, why is that? These district court judges make their rulings. We have to appeal them, in accordance with the law. We can't just say we won't abide by the ruling. That would make us the guilty party. Trump has one such ruling in the court of appeals just today. I forget which issue it was.
I watched Governor Richards today continually state Trump-Russian collusion was a fact right after testimony was given in the Senate saying no evidence of such existed. I agree. What can we do about it? It ticks me off too. The idea is to tie this government up in knots so it can't get things done. We could file contempt of Congress charges, but then how do you prove someone was willfully lying?
Why do we give any money at all to PPP when the give money to every democrat idiot running? I'm not sure when it started, but we are going through the process of ending it. Remember, Bush could have addressed this stuff. He didn't. Trump is the first sitting president to go after Planned Parenthood funding.
It is a slush fund for the libs and we never talk about that, tax payer funded commie politicians. Look at PBS. We're going after their funding too. Trump is the first guy to do it. That's why it's so frustrating to people carp on him all day long. Who did these things before him. Nobody! He deserves credit.
Trump was not elected for who he is, but who he was not, it matters bigly. I and a whole lot of other people voted for him precisely because of who he is, the policies he championed. It wasn't a hard choice because I would never vote for Clinton, but I didn't vote for Trump because he wasn't her. I voted for him because he was who he was.

I think we all give credit to Trump for the good things he is doing but that doesn't cancel the thing he is letting slide.
These district court judges make their rulings. We have to appeal them, in accordance with the law.
He can just say he doesn't agree and ignore them while the Supreme Court makes the decision. What would happen if a District Judge decided withholding tax was unconstitutional, would they stop collecting them? No they wouldn't.
Another big story today is the SIL called Trudeau and asked him to persuade Trump not to withdraw from NAFTA and Trump backed down. Also relatives of his are selling Green Card to Chinese, no clue if it is true but the story is out there this morning.
We both want exactly the same thing for our Country and our Children but I want Trump to take the gloves off and put on the Brass Nucks. I said from the beginning he could not undo this mess by waving the constitution around, he would have to get a bigger pen and phone because he would be fighting both parties. He needs to rouse the rabble.
