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?
In our democracy, yes he is.
technically, we are not a democracy. We are a democratic republic.
Then he is demoratic-republically elected. Regardless, he was legally elected, so the rest is all semantics.
I agree he was legally elected. But I am not so sure that the rest is all semantics.
Will this help make you sure?
