Trump is on track to sign more executive orders on less than one year than Obama did in eight.
When Obama signed executive orders, the GOP exclaimed:
He was an “Imperial President”.
They called him “King Obama”, “Emperor Obama”, “Dictator-in-Chief”, and a “Lawless President”.

Don Jr. is running a private club in Georgetown where for a mere $500,000 membership fee, you can freely corrupt members of the Executive Branch.
Somehow this is normal in the Trump era.
The GOP seems to believe corruption and grifting are fine as long as they are shameless about it.

My lab tests said my triglycerides were a bit high. So, I will no longer go to that lab and have hired a person with no credible experience doing to do my lab tests. They have committed to only telling me everything is perfect, and I don’t have to change anything.

The saddest part of this era for me is that young people will see Trump as a model of leadership that they should follow, if they want to be successful.

For some reason, Trump going to play golf with the Saudis and make more golf tournament deals last night didn’t increase confidence in his actions or leadership.
