Don't believe me? For point A, Congress makes all the laws, not the President. Since Trump has alienated at least 8 members of Congress, and he needs at least 7 of those members to pass any of his agenda, Congress will simply bypass Trump and write the laws any way they want to.
For point B, look at the people Trump has appointed to his cabinet. The Secretary of the Treasury, Mnuchin, was known as "Mr. Foreclosure" when he worked at Goldman Sachs. (Remember Trump railing against Goldman Sachs?) The Secretary of Education, DeVos, never stepped into a public school in her life, but she gave Trump's campaign $200 million. The Secretary of Health had to resign because he spent a million taxpayer dollars in 3 months on charter jets to take him on vacations. The Energy Secretary once wanted to dismantle the entire department and seemed unaware that the department controls our nukes.
Trump, as a former TV star, understood and took advantage that the power of personality and easy answers to complex questions would appeal to people who are used to hour long TV shows.

Let me clarify mellin... Good post by the way!
WHITE people who voted for Trump were either staunch Rs and would have voted for papa smurf if they had run him...or those who wanted change.
Very good...did you read that or are those your words? He CANNOT "really" change things because he is simply a talking head. What the liberals want is just a different talking head who reads words they want to hear...while they loot like this one and all the rest have. They want to be president because they want to be royalty and treated that way. They do as told for the perks they enjoy. Trump WANTS to be taken seriously by "old money".
Of course they will. And they'll continue to pass laws that should be a page long at most...but are 3,000 pages long to accommodate all the "payback" to campaign contributors.
ALL presidencies are payback to friends. That's what they do. The important positions are filled with business insiders who loot the treasury.
That's all an election is...a popularity contest between corrupt crooks. They're ALL evil and thinking you picked the lesser is wrong. You still picked evil...you just like the public facade more. He fooled you better.
Again...we clash...call each other names...but for me...that's just business. Again...good post.
Now...lets talk HONESTLY about gender and race.
