Are all of these executive orders necessary to move these things forward or is it for show?

Everyday we have to see that idiot sitting at his desk autographing his menu like exec orders with his evil posse standing in the background.

Couldn't most of these things that he's done this week simply been done in some meetings? Is this mostly for show and adoration?

And I so wish the media would quit broadcasting every single time he does it. Fuck him already and stop helping his ego.

Some of those so-called executive orders are simply Drumpf showing off his Pokemon card collection:

If you can't laugh, you'll cry. This tyrant gives us plenty of reason to be worried but we should have lots of laughs at his expense whenever we can. He'll resent it.

Trump is under that curve so far. Through his first seven days, he has signed six executive orders (along with eight memorandums and one proclamation).


Plus the 3 whatever he signed today.

to really grasp what's going on around him. Just my opinion.

Anything more complicated than stiffing dry wall contractors or commenting on a contestant's boobs is someone else's job.
