Can he keep that pace up. maybe its like the player who has an outstanding opening day in baseball and folks extrqapolate that he will be a .1000 hitter with 162 H.r.'s adn 486 R.b.i.'s. At any rate Trump is currently on pace for 416 flat-out illegal acts if your estimation is correct. An impressive total if he can keep it up. I would take the under if that were a betting line.

supermike80 1,798 Posted January 29 Honestly. I'm not 100% fine with him just stopping it so quickly and without debate. I would have preferred him announcing this all was being looked at and then coming out, say 30 days later with a more targeted move. But hey, I'm not the Prez.

No you’re being a reasonable person who isn’t behaving impulsively (in this instance.) You are definitely NOT the Prez. One of the non-ideological, non political reasons I didn’t vote for Trump is because he’s so chaotic. He constantly pulls this crap because he loves to be in the spotlight; I swear that is his #1 motivation always. He’s the most ubiquitous politician we’ve ever had; it’s exhausting. It’s going to be like this for 4 years. We’re only a week in. Most liberals and conservatives I know, despite our differences, have one thing in common: we want our politicians to do their jobs and leave us the fock alone most of the time. We want to live our lives, enjoy our lives, without the constant headlines and chaos. This is even true of political junkies like me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well sir, keep in mind it is the media that you love so much that is creating and fueling the chaos. They feed off your, and others emotions to gather eyeballs and clicks. So you should point an equal number of arrows at them. Trump is impulsive. I can't argue with that. And he is very very decisive. He knew this might get challenged in court. But he was willing to take the shot. And I am OK with that. He is trying to bring attention to the wasteful spending in government. I don't think many disagree there are improvements that can be made there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Based on the fact that he GOT ELECTED, I believe he is getting rid of spending many many many Americans don't like as well. And as far as the migrant flights, again, this was supported by the fact that he is now the elected President. Popular vote and electoral vote. Trump is delivering on the campaign promises he made, and that the American people voted for. You disagree with his actions on this, I get it. But sorry to tell you there are millions and millions who agree. Next time, try to do better in the election then you can get what you want. Until then, try to not lose your mind.

So there's that. Not everyone is gonna agree. The winners get to set policy. That's just how it is. I believe you understand this. He got elected for a lot of reasons, some of those are directly because of DEI and tranny stuff. You know this. He won. Your side lost. You WILL have to come to terms with this.

He wouldn't just cut woke and the propose trillions in more spending. He's going to increase spending and the debt over the next 4 years. This I can guarantee you.
