The Trump Presidency
I'm watching "Trumped: Inside the Greatest Political Upset of All Time" on Showtime right now. This is good stuff. I can't wipe the smile off of my face. I almost forgot all the stuff Trump did, said, and got away with during that campaign.

It's great hearing all the Democrats predicting his downfall. Haha, I hope they're watching this too.

And now they're showing the video of all the libs complaining that Trump won't accept the results of the election.

Like I said, good stuff.

Time to just stop all immigration until we can get this figured out in 8 or 9 months.

I don't think there are very many GOP judges. I read that Obama and Dingy Harry Reid packed the federal courts with their own people.

Heard and interview with Ann Coulter last night on the way home. She was flabbergasted at these judges that are just making up law. It was quite entertaining. I do not always agree with her but she has some really good things to say and even concluded that Trump may have to literally 'trump' the judicial branch in that all branches are equal and there is a precedent.

Seems like more and more are comparing him to Andrew Jackson.

I noticed that one of the first things he did was put a large portrait of Jackson in the oval office.

I found it interesting at the time, but it seems apropos.

That's my thought: "Okay, motherfuckers, NOBODY gets in, until further notice, or until you stupid black robes unass your own heads".

Think about the uproar if ALL immigration was stopped.

I actually love the idea, and it seems like it would be a Trump idea.

I wholeheartedly disagree on this one. You would be screwing a ton of Americans and good people. My father in law is coming to stay with us for 3 months starting 4/25. In that case, I would be screwed and his $2000 plane ticket wasted.

No, liberal judges would be screwing the American people. The goal is to prevent terrorist from entering the US. The president has ordered not one, but two orders to accurately do this with minimal disruption. What is he supposed to do if every time he gives an order some liberal judge strikes it down before it even goes into effect?

So, when Paul Ryan speaks these days, I make sure I don't hear a single word he says. I don't trust him, I don't like him, and I don't want to hear his bullshit. I know I am not alone in this respect.

You can rest easy because it will never happen. President Trump will never ban ALL travel to the US because to do so would be monumentally stupid. He would be directly screwing Americans in that case. To propose such an idea is ridiculous. Some people will be inconvenienced? It goes way beyond inconvenience at that point.

Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney was asked about the elimination of funding for climate change research in President Trump's budget.


Mulvaney: "As to climate change, I think the President was fairly straightforward saying we’re not spending money on that anymore,"

"We consider that to be a waste of your money to go out and do that."

President Trump plans to cut at least 3000 positions from the Environmental Protection Agency, which the administration believes has grossly overstepped its regulatory authority in recent years.

I never thought I'd hear our leaders say that. My God, that's music to my ears. Almost daily I'm reminded how fortunate we are to have a Mr. President Trump.

Technically speaking, your father isn't looking to immigrate to the US.

You should know that the EO bans ALL travel from the identified countries, not just "immigration." When someone says that President Trump should just make the EO apply to every country, that implies that anyone in the world who is not a citizen or legal resident or already a visa holder would be prohibited from traveling to the US. That is wholly outrageous and would incur with it some very severe unintended consequences.

I agree that it would have unintended consequences but I also think it would point out the stupidity of the left. Sure, we could continue doing what we've been doing for the past few years, allowing untold numbers come from god knows where into our country. Or we could put our foot down, much like our President has. He could use it as a tactic to strangle the economy and force ALL affected by a "NO IMMIGRATION" policy to start screaming at their representatives to co-operate with President Trump in order to lift said ban. It would take some massive balls on his part, but I am not entirely sure he doesn't have them. Why should we be beholden to the asshattery of these judges and the minority of people in this country who think that we should allow anyone from anywhere into our country, no questions asked?

Sure, it may well be a bad idea to stop any and all immigration into the US by outside folks, but I don't for one minute think that it is at all the worst idea by any president before Trump regarding immigration policy! I'd put the "open borders, come all who may" squarely at number 1 for that.
