I didn't think it was right to diagnose Hillary on video evidence, and this is wrong too. If we followed you around for a week it's likely we'd get some footage to exploit as a question too. This silly armchair diagnosis stuff is irrelevant.

How are people still fretting over Trump well after he is elected is beyond me. Think of it this way. Trump is our countries pilot. Pray he flys the plane well. You are a passenger. Wishing him ill, is like wishing the pilot to crash the plane you are on.

Or... or..

The plane is already crashing and the pilot is too busy writing tweets to change direction so hoping something happens to the pilot which allows the numerous other pilots stood waiting to take over and put the plane back on track.

What your saying is people should stop questioning Trump and his decision because he might destroy the country if you don't... what kind of society does that sound like to you? Very telling insight to the mind of a Nazi Trump supporter.

Racist.

or...

The plane he is flying was so badly damaged from the previous captain, and 8 years of no maintenance, that the only way to let the air traffic control know whats going on is by tweeting all the while the back seat pilots, who dont have all the information, think they can do a better job flying based on ignorance and a holier than thou arrogance rather than facts and who cant comprehend the fact they werent chosen as the captain of the plane.

Maybe everyone should come together and help the Captain make sure all the passengers on board are taken care of instead of undermining him in hopes he crashes the plane. The left has this mindset of "Lets burn the place down in hopes the people will higher us to fix it".

It's pretty clear the pilot doesn't want to help anyone but himself and his friends and only a few remaining people can't see this.

Also the plane was flying fine and the majority of its passengers were happy with the previous pilot and the direction. Yet for some unknown reason a loud minority managed to convince the Airline to change Pilot and bring in someone whose never flown a plane before and has little interest in it.

Also you cried for 8 years and tried to undermine Obama and now you complain when people don't support the man-child that is Trump? Get real. Americans would love to take Obama back right now, the whole world would love it. Only a handful of stubborn imbeciles are clinging onto their egos right now.

Trump is not wanted by the majority of Americans and is know around the world as a joke, he is a laughing stock and he projects that onto your country. America will come to its senses soon.

For Clinton, Pelosi and Mad Maxine Waters.

People on the left pushing for a mental health committee to evaluate the President didnt learn a damn thing from losing the last election did they. They dont mind having these abilities when it works in their favor. When the other party wins though Democrats bitch and moan about abuse of power and constitutional violations.

has anyone heard trump give a detailed account OF ANY policy, legislation, or law?....6 months in and we still are getting simple thoughts and simple catch phrases. high school kids writing 500 word essays have more insight.

a reply to: jimmyx

Yes - the executive orders he signed are available online and he explained them at the signing ceremonies. Those include policy changes.

As for legislation the President is part of the Executive branch. The Legislative branch makes / passes laws. Bitch to Congress about their lack of openness.

the only thing democrats learned, is that it doesn't matter what they say as it relates to policies of the federal government that will affect them.....it's all about hate and how to exploit it.....just like on ATS...."hate a liberal" threads brings you kudos, and stars, making you feel good and righteous.

he signed them, in no way did he "explain them".....please tell us the detailed explanation trump gave for those statements....and don't use....good for the country, making America great, it's for jobs, etc.....any 15 year old running for class president has a more developed line of rhetoric.

and the same holds true in the opposite direction. We done playing the false victim card now?

Then stop being lazy and look instead of blindly attacking something you clearly have not researched. Why is it so hard for the left do do real work? They want to be spoonfed all the time. It gets old.

Trump’s executive orders: Actions the president can take, explained

any "15 year old" who has a basic understanding of language and our government can figure out what his executive orders have done. An "in depth" explanation is not needed except by those who prefer to bitch just because its trump.

Trump has issued both orders and memoranda in his first months in the Oval Office. Here’s a look at his major actions:

Accountability at the Department of Veterans Affairs

The president signed an order on April 27, 2017 to establish a VA Office of Accountability and Whistleblower Protection and appoint an individual as the director of the office.

"Buy American and hire American"

The president issued an order on April 18, 2017 declaring the administrations position to buy and hire American. He called for the heads of agencies to review their departments to ensure that they are promoting the hiring of Americans over immigrants and buying products made in the United States over other countries.

Undoing Obama’s climate change regulations

Trump signed an executive order, The “Energy Independence” order, on March 28, 2017, that will undo some of the regulations Obama put in place to combat climate change. The main target is the Clean Power Plan, which requires states to reduce carbon emissions from power plants. The order will also reverse a ban on coal leasing on federal lands and undo rules to curb methane emissions from oil and gas production.

Revised temporary travel ban*

Trump signed a revised version of his original executive order, barring citizens from six Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States for 90 days, on March 6, 2017. Among other changes, the new order excludes Iraq from the list of countries included in the temporary travel ban.

*The order's execution was blocked by a Hawaii judge on the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

Cutting federal regulations

Trump took steps to reduce the number of regulations in the federal government when he signed an executive order on Feb. 24, 2017. The order instructs federal agencies to establish task forces that will focus on regulatory reform. The president said each task force will have to offer recommendations on which regulations to repeal or simplify.

Dodd-Frank Law review

An executive order signed by Trump on Feb. 3, 2017, called for a review of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform regulations that were put in place to prevent a repeat of the 2007-2008 financial crisis. The order is largely symbolic, as Congress must approve any changes to the legislation.

Lobbying ban

Trump signed an order on Jan. 28, 2017, that bars members of the administration from lobbying their own agency for five years after they leave office. The order also says administration members cannot lobby government appointees for two years.

ISIS plan

This memorandum, signed on Jan. 28, 2017, directs the president's Joint Chiefs of Staff to provide a plan, within the next 30 days, to defeat ISIS. In addition, Trump signed a memorandum that calls for reorganizing the National Security Council and Homeland Security Council.

Temporary ban on refugees*

The president signed an executive order on Jan. 27, 2017, that will suspend U.S. entry for all refugees for 120 days and suspends the Syrian refugee program until further notice. The order, which Trump said will "keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America," also limits entry for at least 90 days from Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, Yemen and Iraq.

*The order's execution was blocked in court and a revised version was signed by Trump on March 6, 2017. The revised travel ban was also blocked in court before it could be put into place.

Military readiness

During a ceremony at the Pentagon, Trump also signed a memorandum to beef up the U.S. military. The administration will develop "a plan for new planes, new ships, new resources and new tools for our men and women in uniform," Trump said on Jan. 27, 2017.

Building the U.S.-Mexico border wall

Trump signed an executive order on Jan. 25, 2017, to start construction of a wall along the nation's border with Mexico, fulfilling a campaign promise. In an interview with ABC News, the president said planning for the wall started immediately and construction could begin within months.

Sanctuary states/cities funding

The president also signed an executive order on Jan. 25, 2017, that strips federal grant money from "sanctuary" states and cities that harbor illegal immigrants and often refuse to cooperate with federal authorities.

Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines

Trump signed two presidential memoranda on Jan. 24, 2017, to move ahead with plans for the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines.

He also signed an order "to streamline and expedite, in a manner consistent with law, environmental reviews and approvals for all infrastructure projects."

Trans-Pacific Partnership

The president withdrew the United States from the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership with a presidential memorandum on Jan. 23, 2017.

Mexico City Policy

Trump restored the so-called Mexico City Policy, which Obama had revoked in 2009. The policy prohibits federal funding for international organizations that promote or provide abortions.

Federal hiring freeze

Trump issued a hiring freeze for the executive branch in a memorandum on Jan. 23, 2017. It does not include the military.

Affordable Care Act

On his first day in office, Trump signed an order instructing federal agencies to ease regulations associated with the Affordable Care Act, Obama’s signature health care law. It called for agencies “to waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation of any provision or requirement of the Act that would impose a fiscal burden.” But its impact is not entirely clear, Shapiro said.

“It’s symbolic at the moment,” Shapiro said of the order. Essentially, it gave Trump and his secretary of health and human resources, Tom Price, discretion where the law allows, but changes to the policy will need to be passed by Congress.

false victim card?......the only victims here are regular people that think trump will get them jobs, raise their pay, get them better healthcare, make their lives better. maybe they can move to Bangladesh, Vietnam, China, etc....I hear Ivanka Trump is hiring over there to make her clothes.

a reply to: jimmyx

all actions that require congregational action and not executive action.

so, yes, a false victim card.

a reply to: Xcathdra

ok, let's look at each one of those signing statements....

1...V.A. bill...signed into law with majority of both political parties in congress...GOOD FOR TRUMP!!!

2...buy and hire American statement...100% of his daughters (ivanka) clothing line made overseas

3...climate change...burn more coal, regardless of the known health affects

4...travel ban...after revisions, 90 day ban...if you are a terrorist from those countries wait 91 days

5...cutting federal regulations....I guess ALL of these were bad, regardless of the research or outcome, uh huh.

6...ISIS...already underway by Obama, stating the obvious

7...ban on refugees...I wonder about those refugees that already helped our military, and are fearful of repercussions

8...military readiness...readiness? we have a military that is 8 times the size of any nation as far as spending

9...the wall...congress has to vote for the money to do it, regardless of the 700 miles of "wall" already there

10...sanctuaries...cutting grants to local police, and NOT raising money and/or more hiring for ICE officers

11...keystone...I'm neutral, a spill from a railcar is similar to a pipeline break, BIG OIL gets what it wants

12...TPP...I'm neutral, I don't know if the consequences will be good or bad, depends on other countries

13...Mexico city policy...trump just wants to help poor women to have more babies in 3rd world countries, ok

14...hiring freeze...because nothing helps out average citizens better than fed. employees working overtime , and/or not having the knowledge to do someone else's job.

15...ACA...really? that's trumps answer to something he doesn't give a damn about regarding the consequences to millions of citizens?

yes, I simplified my answers, but don't accuse me of not doing the research, trump voters are the ones that should have done that last year, but they didn't care, so long as Hillary didn't get into office.

congregational action?....what church attendees have that kind of power?...keep saying "false victim card" if it makes you feel better. that's how trump does it, repeat over and over and over and over, regardless of accuracy. good to see you both in goosestep, I mean lockstep.

Ok, just when you think his public behavior can't get any worse...
Trump hand signals Putin at G20 dinner

He has no awareness of his public behavior! Would he have done this when younger? This is way worse than grandpa talking to himself while shuffling down the grocery store aisle.

a reply to: jimmyx

They should stop being apathetic / lazy about politics then.

So, again, false victim card.

a reply to: jimmyx

and you said there was no explanation given... Thank you for proving my point while at the same time completely not understanding the EO's.

Just say you want to bitch about Trump and nothing else. It would save us all the time of responding to your dribble.
