Trump is NOT a man of his word. NEVER WAS

I read the letter to the editor and the FB pages and other outlets where I see multitudes of Trumpeteers saying, Trump is a man of his word. After I get up off the floor after laughing myself into a fit, I begin to wonder, “Which word is Trump true to?”  He changes his words every time he speaks. And, if he doesn’t, he has a slew of English-speaking interpreters to tell us what he really meant to say. What he truly believes. Which often he repudiates seconds later. I am genuinely confused now.

Someone tell me what Trump believes that he wasn’t 180 degrees opposite previously? 
It appears now, Obamacare may remain (thank goodness), with changes and fixing here, tweaking there. It appears, Trump is doing the opposite of “bring(ing) the world together,” witness Australia, Germany, etc. “Mark my words, Hillary will go to prison.” Thankfully, he reneged on that. So many more examples. If you need them, ask me. But, remember, only Kellyanne Conway can lie her way out of a Republican black hole interrogation.  

Here’s a new one, Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, as a man of integrity and impartiality and integrity. He is firmly against women’s rights and set against abortion. These are items which Trump interviewed Gorsuch in detail. There is supposed to be NO LITMUS TEST FOR A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE. Yet, Trump wanted to be certain his controllable pick was in agreement, even though Trump isn’t in agreement with himself on these issues. Maybe women’s rights? Trump doesn't believe they should have rights and then touts how he hires women, presumably capable women and not just those under 30 wearing short skirts (must be Ivanka’s size) and no underwear. 

Gorsuch, an originalist, believes in the Constitution as written. The originators said it was a living document, and should change over time. Gorsuch, and Scalia before him, takes no account for the fact that this is 2017, not 1787. They had blunderbusses, not AK47’s; legal slavery; fourteen states, and four million people (Los Angeles proper today); “Domestic violence” in 1787, when it meant “civil disobedience;”  Freedom of Speech, but no internet; nothing about gay marriage; and, transportation meant horse. 

Approximately thirty contemporary judges believe that. Originalists believe that the original wording of the Constitution was based upon the Christian Bible. They argue that the meaning is fixed - it doesn’t change because the world has changed. 

Donald Trump has never read the Constitution. Boring. He doesn’t need it. He has people who read it for him. Baron, for one. Trump has a Congress he can control, and building a Supreme Court beholden to him for lifetime jobs. Justices who will do as told. Thus, Trump is redacting the Separation of Powers. Only when he dissolves the Duma….excuse me, Congress, will he have enough power. He has never realized, the Congress enacts laws - the president enforces those laws. He always believed it was the other way around. And that is what he will try to do. Make the laws. 

He criticized Obama for creating more Executive Orders than “all previous presidents combined.” Such bullshit. In 14 days, Trump has created, what he calls, 23 Executive Orders. He could hit 500 his first year, as he has vowed to do it himself if Congress doesn’t help.


In 8 years, “Executive order crazy Obama,” issued 276 Orders; George W. 291; Bill Clinton, 364; George H. W. 166 (only 4 years); Reagan 380; No info on Carter; Ford, 168 (3 years); Nixon, 345(5 years); Johnson, 324 (6 years); Kennedy, 214 (2 years); Ike, 484..    

Other than That, I have no opinion

Trump has no clue about Middle-Class.

Are Trump’s sycophants and lemmings aware that federal employees who worked without pay or were furloughed during Trump’s insane, conniption fit, did not do it due to “…their allegiance to President Trump…,” as the thankless wretch in the Oval Office stated? They didn’t “volunteer” for this. They were threatened by firing if they didn’t show up to work. This is servitude. They blame him for their damaged credit, late-fee payments, interest loans, missed payments, meals and medical care, and more. Billionaire Wilber Ross said he “doesn’t understand this. Why don’t they simply go to the bank and get a loan? The banks will give them a loan.” Many, if not most, federal employees live paycheck to paycheck.  Trump told them to “make an arrangement with the grocer. Grocery stores will give you groceries if you tell them you’ll pay them when you get paid.” Federal employees took an oath to protect the Constitution, not Trump. Trump and his cronies have no idea how the Midd...

VERY IMPORTANT! - trump successfully diverted attention all week with his false rhetoric, tweets and insults, defaming veterans, Puerto Ricans, widows of dead soldiers, a Black Congresswoman, and who knows how much more, while his new, "old friend," Mitch McConnell set his Mongol Army on American Citizens. trump is the beginning of the final chapter of the Republican effort to show, Democracy doesn't work. The Country doesn't work. To bring down the Whole Country and Stephen  Bannon STATED VERBALLY and in PRINT he wanted to do. Reduce the Federal Government to a small "caretaker" government, where the citizens MUST rely strictly on their own for survival, no matter the circumstances. NO ENTITLEMENTS of any source (MEDICARE and SOCIAL SECURITY ARE NOT ENTITLEMENTS.  BEWARE OF trump's TRICKS. Now you can see how they work.  > trump did his job. While he diverted the country with his insults and inane comments, lies and B.S., and the media assist...

Hypocrites or not? You decide..

. SHELDON METZ · SUNDAY, MAY 1, 2016 To my ultra-religious friends who quote bible passages and support Trump, how about hearing this when he speaks on TV? Actual quotes fro a rally: DROPPING THE F - BOMB: "The Donald," as he is known, enters the arena, more as a billboard for self inflicted controversy. The supreme aggrandizer, somehow, stays in the game. Willing to use opening phrases such as, "Listen You Mother F*ckers …," which is cool, if your, you know, watching a film by Martin Scorsese, a play by David Mamet or listening to a rap song by Ice Cube, but as a presidential candidate, this is not cool at all. Once he gets a taste for the reaction, the audiences nervous laughter, the cussing continues. On Foreign Policy: "We build a school, we build a road, they blow up the school, we build another school, we build another road they blow them up, we build again, in the meantime we can't get a f*cking school in Brooklyn."
