President Trump: remaking the Presidency!

[Value Buy]

When it comes to the use of his Oval Office power, President Donald Trump has boldly gone where no president has gone before.



He ignored complaints of nepotism to hire his daughter and son-in-law as top White House advisers. He walked past calls to divest business holdings or reveal his personal finances. He's touted his executive orders like royal fiats, he's dissed Congressional Republicans and dragged opposition Democrats, and he's used his Twitter account almost daily as an unfiltered bully pulpit – with emphasis on "bully."


The willingness to buck convention, smash important precedents and use Twitter like a shotgun has historians and analysts considering whether the impulsive CEO president, unbound by political customs and arguably unaware of limits to his authority, has redefined the office for his successor while tailoring it for himself.

"Most analysts agree: It's far too early to determine how history will judge Trump, or whether John Kelly, a former general and the new chief of staff, can bring discipline and order to a chaotic administration. But Suri and others say his stalled legislative agenda, lack of concrete accomplishments and absence of a honeymoon in public-opinion polls has probably demolished the romantic notion that a wealthy celebrity or business titan like Trump can sweep into the Oval Office and effectively run the country, no experience required.

And unless things change significantly over the next 40 months, it's highly likely that voters will punish Republicans in 2018 and hand the presidency to a politically experienced, above-reproach, reform-minded candidate in 2020."

When I started this thread, that was when the board collapsed.
I think they were shocked to see a pro-Trump article posted here on the board, and it caused the server to crash

To make that a little clearer, would you consider putting in a quote box anything you take from the article?  It makes it easier to discern which you DID write and which you did not.  Or in other words, it lets us know whether we should just dismiss you completely.

Since this current president doesn't have the grace or class to conduct himself, or the knowledge of political customs or how to run this country I foresee the introduction of new laws coming soon so this never happens again (his abuse of executive privilege).

Old laws should have stopped it. Honestly he is one of the main reasons we have an electoral college... he never should have made it through.

Or this?

A guy who acts like a despot is a good thing?

Ah, people, did you actually expect a 100% Obama type puff piece from this source?
C'mon get real 

I was shocked it was as nice as it was.
As it was, it locked up the board for a couple of hours when I posted it!

LOL! Nah. There was a problem with ProBoards that resulted in errors and slow-loading/no-loading problems with forums. The problem has since been corrected.

All hail emperor Trump.

it's a canard to say ur simply posting news. And so what if the "other side" does it too? Just be honest with what ur doing is all i am saying.....

Hmmn, good point about  not belonging in politics and in news or current events. You could be correct. Mods, if you think it belongs elsewhere,please move it.
I felt since it discussed this President it belonged in politics.
And I imagine the majority of the hit pieces in politics belong elsewhere based on this standard.

ur still claiming this as "news" and not a political support for u viewpoint? how much "news" that supports the other political viewpoint have u posted?

That's unfortunate. U have officially crossed over in my mind VB. Part of me thinks Paul hacked or cloned ur account.

It was a choice between him or Hillary.

If he sets a new precedence, the next democrat just might do the same things. And Trump supporters will be pissed! Be careful what bed you let this guy make. Because we all have to sleep in it tomorrow.
