Trump isn't doing anything

Well, there is that - and that's fine. And I know that's fine for many conservatives in particular.

But, it IS just another of Trump's "don't take him literally" things. He really talked a big game about how much he was going to do on the 1st day, the 1st month, the 1st year, etc. It's pretty clear already what the pace of this admin is going to be like.

He's actually pretty low energy.

I'm not even going to try to refute your points. I knew this was going to happen when I pulled the lever for him. I said that he would find out soon enough how dysfunctional the government was, and that Obama had sown a virtual mine field for him, especially with the ACA(and what the hell was he trying to prove by giving the PLO 221 million bucks like, 24 hours before Trump's inauguration?). But are you saying that you accepted Bernie's line of BS hook, line and sinker? Or HRC's total lack of a platform(other than the Obama status quo)? And if you think he's low energy, would you prefer a more dictatorial approach(i.e. lots of executive orders)?

Well I didn't vote for him but things are going on in Congress right now including bills to repeal and replace Obamacare and major tax reform. Now what gets out of Congress remains to be seen, especially with tax reform. But activity is happening.

Yes, but that isn't what he promised is it. He told everyone he had a great plan, healthcare for all, it was going to be affordable. He doesn't have squat, the same with his great plan to defeat Daesh. He's a grifter. He isn't working on anything, he is a con man.

Ok. So people are protesting about something he hasn't done and isn't working on in the ACA.

To my understanding bills start in Congress so short of an EO it's not his call.

Your understanding is based on procedure, not common practice. The potus sets an agenda, offers some programs ands bills. Trump has done zip.
FDR and Obama moved a legislative agenda quick and bigly.

protesting change?....

His form of change is political revanchism to reverse the positive change agenda of the left that we liked. We want to stop the change from abhorring torture to loving it. We want to stop the change from being a more pluralistic society to a calcified white men on top one. We want to stop the change from women's right to abortion to back alleys. We don't want to change from one where education is good and free to the old one where only the rich kids could go to college, or where only private schools have good teachers. So yes, protesting that kind of change. Retrograde change is being protested. And also his fucking lying with platitudes and no plan that makes any sense.

Why can't Republicans acknowledge his initial underperformance? It's not like we said he is a failed president yet.

You've been told over and over again, by Trump voters, that we do not buy into your leftwing narrative in this thread. You just do't like our answers. And it has you totally, totally pissed off.

:rofl2:

No it doesn't, KY. I simply think you are just a dummy, and dishonest, whereas I am intelligent and honest. Nobody can get under my skin. I'm a fucking legal gladiator. I eat people's lunch and love it. And they are pros. You are a clown. If I had a thin skin, well, I wouldn't be the badass mofo I am. The day some online loser gets under my skin is the day I hang em up, clown.

Don't forget his "secret plan" to defeat ISIS. The one he wouldn't share with anyone.

Obama moved too quick, especially on the ACA. It was arguably the most ill-conceived piece of legislation since who knows when. Obama moved quick on cap and trade and it went exactly nowhere.

I'd prefer to move slower but more effectively. But if you want to score some partisan points by saying Trump moves too slow, it's all good.

Come talk to me later in the year.
