It doesn't seem like Trump is getting much done

You can't sign a bill that doesn't make it to your desk.

He has 2 pretty big accomplishments, neither have taken much political skill.

One is a Supreme Court nomination.


The other is the rollback of Obama enacted regulations. I believe it was Ted Cruz that alerted him to the CRA process where he could roll back a bunch of them. It had previously rarely been used.

That's about it.

Perhaps you should go directly to the source for your news on what bills have been passed and not the media filter.

---

can you enlighten us on the key pieces of legislation trump has signed?

He has already hired TWO NSA directors! Twice as many as any other president in their first 100 days.

You aren't paying attention.

---

He isn't succesfully going over the heads of the media. Or GOP Congress is keeping him from really doing much.

---

No outsider is ever going to get much done it appears.

I had hopes that DC wasn't so dirty but it seems that any attempt to break up the band is going to be resisted.

It's sad that we are stuck with lifetime politicians that are all dirty as hell.

He can't get anything done with all this winning going on!!

I am trying to be optimistic but I wonder if the swamp is simpy too deep to be drained.

consider the alternative, he was never going to drain it.
