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?

As you know, it is not the Popular Vote that elects a President so I find your point a bit moot. It’s okay that you’re not happy about it but he was elected by the lawful process this nation uses to determine this.

I have already agreed he was legally elected. I also that it is not a popular vote the elects a President. But I do not think my point is moot. I guess what I asking is, since we don’t use a popular vote, can our election system be called a democratic election system. Can any President that fails to win the popular vote, be called democratically elected? Democratically elected doesn’t necessarily equal legally elected.
