    According to 538's tracking of votes in congress, there are 5 democratic senators and 2 democratic house members who have voted for Trump-bills more than 50% of the time. The least Trump-supportive of the Republican senators has voted for Trump-bills 84% percent of the time and there are only 4 republican house members who have supported Trump's bills less than that (the lowest at 64% support). So, so far, the democrats have been crossing the aisle a lot more than the Republicans in this administration.

    GOP senators like Cruz, Rubio, McCain, Lindsey Graham, who have at times been pretty anti-Trump in rhetoric have voted pretty much down the line to support Trump's plays. The vast majority of Republicans have voted 100% in support of Trump's bills and appointments, while zero Democrats in the Senate have voted against him on everything.
    Not sure what this has to do with my post.

    Presidents do not introduce legislation, though they can voice support for bills or persuade a congressman to do so.

      If your whole worldview rests on a particular claim being true, you damn well better have evidence for it. You should have tons of evidence.

        I see you didn't bother reading the rest of the thread.

          Turns out that I'm not the only one thinking this way.

            That's the way most of us think about how each side entrenches itself against the other.

                  Trump didn't do that. He hasn't signed into law any financial measures related to federal borrowing, so he couldn't have affected the debt. The reduction comes from policies that precede his presidency.

                  Secondly, Obama inherited a mess in the form of the great recession that Bush handed him. Whereas Trump inherited a recovery with records on Wall Street and an unemployment rate at 4.6%.

                  The deficit has been reducing for years.

                    But Trump tweeted the actual facts.
