The worse part of this farce is he has no idea what position he was elected to, and he seems never to heard that our government is built with a series of checks and balance. He writes a stupid executive order and the courts applying the 14th admenedment block the order when the 9th circuit court of appeals created a 3 judge panel one was appointed by bush and is as conservative as they come Drumph the Idiot looses a 3 to 0 vote and claims the court is exceeding its responsibility. He has no idea how the legislative process is established. He makes up news from rumors he's heard. The man is delusional.

May I point out that this is just yet another example of how campaign promised generally are forgotten once elected.
No surprise, we see this after EVERY election, at all levels of government. Not only with Presidents, but with Congress Members, Senate, State Representatives, County Board Members, City Officials, they ALL tells us what we want to hear yet once in office do what they want anyway.
The best we can hope for it that during their term in office they make more changes for the better than they hurt our system.
I remain Hopeful that Trump will improve the Country. But I am not going to hold my breath while waiting.

We had a congressman out here in the DPRM (Meehan) who campaigned on terms limits. Naturally, he changed his mind when the end of his term arrived and he ran for re-election. Just as Republicans ignore their candidate breaking campaign promises, Democrats faithfully re-elected him until he retired to a lucrative state job.
