Should Trump immediately resign and restore power to the American people?

It's been reported President Trump is considering sending substantially more U.S. troops back to the Middle East, to help battle ISIL.

We've already got troops there, but they reportedly as SF in combat support, not direct combat assignments, through we've already lost at least one there.

It is a cliche' that we learn by mistake, but the clever among us learn by the mistakes of others.

What a terrible terrible pity Trump hasn't learned by the manifold mistakes of President Bush (younger).

"What power have the American people lost?" y #3

The conspicuous diminution in rational control for obvious example.

In President Trump's reported first solo news conference as president, what was so widely reported was not that political content, so much as the style, which was presented as unprecedented.

I did not always agree with the policy choices of presidents Bush or Obama, but by and large there was at least a figment of rationality about it. Even the 4,487.

Friday night reporter David Brooks explained that there were 691 white house posts for Trump to fill.
And Brooks reports 631 out of those original 691 remain empty.

So what?

At his news conference Trump said his administration is running smoothly. By Brooks' math, it's barely running at all! By my math that's only single digit %.

If these reports are true, how can we not consider the Trump administration dysfunctional?

The executive branch, good governance. You know. Stuff like that.

They didn't have good governance before Jan. 20th, so, I don't see how they could have lost it.

"The report I read said it was the pentagon, did not mention Trump." Y #6

Thanks for the correction Y. You're right. I'd forgotten. Truman's placard read: The buck stops way over there someplace.

And as we all know, the Commander in Chief of the United States of America has no say in whatever the Pentagon wishes to do.

And we also know that while:
- candidate Trump promised to end ISIL, and while:
- President Trump has been claiming success, doing what it was he said he'd do as president, and while
- President Trump requested from his subordinate military commanders proposals for putting an end to ISIL by U.S. military means

that Trump has no direct involvement. It's "the pentagon", an office building; not the U.S. military chain of command.

I'll take you at YOUR word.

On January 19, 2017 the Republican party controlled BOTH houses of congress. So your accusation is CLEARLY aimed at Republican competence. Rather than dispute, I'll concede.

And the Republican demigod, Ronald Reagan had a standard for assessing this.

The Reagan standard: "Are you better off ..."

When Senator Obama was inaugurated president, the U.S. was losing ~800K private sector jobs per month. The U.S. was at Wars. And Bush / Cheney / Paulson's $700 $Billion $TARP didn't rescue the U.S. economy. It merely kept our economy on life support until the 3 of them could get the %$#@ out of town!

8 years later Iraq had reached the REVISED goals President Bush set for it:

"an Iraq that can govern itself and sustain itself and defend itself." U.S. President Bush (younger)

President Obama had slashed the Bush administration level of unemployment roughly in half, and our economy was stabilized.

So again, by the Republican demigod Reagan's standards we were by the primary criteria for quantifying such things, substantially better off.

"They didn't have good governance before Jan. 20th, so, I don't see how they could have lost it." P #8

You obviously don't think very highly of Republicans.
And in the context of the Trump presidency, it's easy to understand why.

Iraq was brilliantly handled under the Obama Administration. Give Congress credit, in that it kept a third Obama appointment off of the SCOTUS. Sotomayor and Kagan, and any leftist at all, is a terrible prospect for our future.

I don't think she is affiliated with any tribe. Just like Ward Churchill, who tried to become a member of a tribal organization, and then proceeded to lie about his membership status after they rejected him.
