  • 6 Months of Trump: 991 tweets, 0 major pieces of legislation

    Trump has now been in office 6 months.

    During that time he's signed 0 major pieces legislation, with the widely-disliked Republican healthcare plan dying in the Senate this week.

    Trump has tweeted 991 times from his personal account. He's spent almost one day in every four at a Trump branded golf-course or resort.

    His approval rating is somewhere in 35-40% range, making him one of the most-disliked presidents at this point in his presidency since polling began.

    Carrier celebrated Trump's 6 month anniversary by laying off over 300 workers, with over 300 more to follow before the end of the year as they move to Mexico.

    Following his aggressive policies, the US military has now killed more civilians in 6 months under Trump in the Middle East than Obama did in 8 years. Refugees trying to make it out of the area report being regularly bombed and losing family members to US forces.

    Initially Trump called for a 3 month ban on immigration from Muslim countries until he could "figure out what's going on"... 6 months later with that Muslim ban still tied up in the court system, the Trump administration appears no closer to having figured out what is going on.

    Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Climate Change Agreement has left the US alone and friendless on the international stage and ceded global leadership to Germany and China.

    Trump Jr has posted emails that show he attempted to collude with the Russians and "loved" the idea of the Russian government directly supporting the Trump campaign. Trump seems to have thought it was a great idea to have a couple of long meetings with Putin at the G20, one without anyone else present.

    Mueller's probe of the Trump family and associates seems to be ramping up exponentially, with investigations into money laundering and the Trump family finances. Now I wouldn't be surprised to see more than three dozen different charges laid against more than half a dozen people.

    If Mueller's not sacked first. Trump seems to be building a file of negatives against him on the off-chance. Outrageous of course, but this is Trump after all.

      Since numerous Republicans are currently telling Trump "don't sack Mueller", I expect the next thing from Trump will be "Sack Mueller? What a great idea! Folks, nobody was talking about it until I brought it up. It's like the phrase 'priming the pump' that I invented, and discussing the topic of immigration which nobody was talking about until I brought it up. I brought up sacking Mueller, and I sacked Mueller, to block the Russia investigation, just like I did with Comey, it was all me."

        When presidents discuss pardons behind the scenes this early on that's... not good.

        Obviously there's something financial in Trumps background that he does not want to be made public. We know he's done business with dozens of oligarchs that are known for money laundering, and his relationship with Russian mafia figures is well documented. He could basically debunk everything about this investigation as far as a 'quid pro quo' goes by simply disclosing his tax returns - that the public has a right to see anyways. That he refuses to release that information after promising to do so after the election, speaks volumes.

            He could fire Mueller, but that wouldn't do him much good.

            He's already fired one guy investigating him, so a second act would be disastrous, and warrant possible obstruction of justice charges. The only way out would be for the DOJ to appoint... another council over the case - just like Nixon. Plus, Congress would still be able to move forward with their own investigations, and the FBI could continue cases against guys like Flynn and Manafort.

                  The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                    Yeah, sad isn't it? Look at the mess you naive Trump supporters have caused for both the U.S., our allies, and democracy itself. And think about it, what have you gotten for it, a supreme court judge. Good work!

                        Yes we know, but do you think the rest of it was worth it though?

                          We survived 8 years of Obama, you will survive 8 years of Trump*.

                            You lot sure have been crying about it, that's for certain!
                            Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
                            But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
                            Than a fool in the eyes of God
