Trump seems to be signing an absolute shitload of executive orders despite having the entire government mostly in agreement with his policies.
and here I thought Republicans didn’t like rule by executive orders. I thought they wanted Congress to have a say in these things.
It’s okay when it’s their guy, but not when it’s a legally, democratically-elected President who’s being gaslit by the republican majority who openly vowed to gaslight him at every turn.
It’s a legally, democratically-elected Republican President that will have his own Congressional issues.
That is matter of opinion. Sure, he was legally elected. But is it really a democratically-elected when the majority of the voters didn’t vote for him?
Besides, it never stopped Obama from using Executive Privellege to get what he wanted so I am unsure as to why it’s even a topic of dicsussion.
But that is my point. Whenever Obama used executive privilege to get what he wanted, the Republicans were outraged. But now a Republican President seems to be doing the same thing.
I’m not arguing the legitimacy of Trump’s presidency, but I find a hilarious irony in the Republican outrage that Obama was basically forced to sign the executive orders he did by an uncooperative and useless Republican congress (remember when our government shut down for no reason than whiny Republicans?), but nobody’s saying anything about Trump’s non-stop executive orders since day one of his presidency.
