The hypocrisy and dishonesty of this man is breathtaking.

Trump, after Thursday, will have signed 29 executive orders, more than any President in the last 72 years, when President Harry Truman signed 57 orders in his first 100 days.

“I don’t think he even tries anymore,” Trump said of President Barack Obama in December 2015. “I think he just signs executive actions.”

A month later, as contests in Iowa and New Hampshire loomed, Trump said Obama’s executive orders show he “doesn’t talk to anybody.”

“You know, it’s supposed to be negotiated,” Trump told CNN in January 2016. “You’re supposed to cajole, get people in a room, you have Republicans, Democrats, you’re supposed to get together and pass a law. (Obama) doesn’t want to do that because it’s too much work. So he doesn’t want to work too hard. He wants to go back and play golf.”

I don't see any way to defend this.
 
Hilarious ain't it?

What a PUZT-US.

one uses EO to remove EO passed by former presidents and the trump team stated trump had a shack of EO to be eliminated

That might work if he hadn't used EOs exclusively and failed horribly (mostly congress' fault) in the attempt at healthcare.

I just hope his tax reform goes through.

the president uses executive authority, [EO] off of federal law passed by congress giving him such authority

I lean towards executive power (War Powers Act, etc), but it doesn't look good when that's all Trump has managed.

I'm not saying he's done nothing. I approve of his action in Syria and Afghanistan. I approve of some of his EOs. I look forward to his tax reform.

But his grinding on Obama EOs, and then having only that to point to, is bad optics.

It's been abysmal failure, all down the line. Executive Orders overturned by federal judges, cabinet appointees fired, no Trumpcare, no wall, it'd be a dismal record if this was over a four-year term. First few months? Time to start talking about who's been the biggest failure as POTUS.

Exactamundo.
 
Master Po, if you're in China you'll have less than 10 minutes to make your peace when North Korea calls Trump's bluff.

Godspeed.

Are you incapable of seeing the dishonesty and hypocrisy here?
 
This is bad for America, this practice of playing king.

Liberal perceptions are so warped that they think a president doing exactly what they said they'd do is hypocrisy.

How's that closing of Guantanamo going under Obama? You know, the thing he said he'd tackle first as president?

Those EO decisions can and will be overturned again by the now Conservative Supreme court.
