I was planning to wait it out as we approach the first 100 days before I pass judgment on it because I have been proved wrong about Trump before. Because of Azgardi's demand, I'll just say this. His presidency so far is just too inconsistent and uneven to give a proper overall judgment on it just as his campaign was. Trump has some really good days, and when they are good, they are really good, and then, he has his really bad days when he either made a really bad tweet or members in his staff or cabinet did something they shouldn't have done. From Tuesday night to yesterday, the media was praising Trump for his presidential address delivered Congress, and stating he has finally become "presidential". Now, we have Attorney General Jeff Sessions recusing himself after it's discovered he lied and potentially broke the Logan Act about not meeting with a Russian ambassador to the United States while he was a campaign surrogate during his confirmation hearing.
I'm very disheartened to hear some stories I've seen on television last month about Executive Order 13769, especially with travelers with green cards being held in detention. However, the new measure is not technically a Muslim ban since not all mostly Muslim countries are on the list such as Saudi Arabia. It's more a traveling restricting from the seven top hot-spots for Islamic terrorism. Trump was in the wrong for attacking the judiciary since it shows a lack of respect for checks and balances he was swore to protect when he took his oath. Nevertheless, the judiciary should never, on any case, turn to activism and be politically driven.
Letting Michael Flynn resign was probably for the best. He was compromised and also broke the Logan Act.
Neil Gorsuch sounds like an excellent choice to replace the deceased Antonin Scalia.
I don't support the Trump administration's stance on denying climate change and their environmental policy, and honestly find them inconsistent. On February 16, Trump signed a joint resolution order to reverse a rule ordered by the Obama administration aimed at blocking coal-mining operations from dumping waste into nearby waterways. He did this as his promise to remove unnecessary regulations. Yet during his address before Congress, he asked for bipartisanship support to promote clean water and clean air without going into specifics.
Trump seems to have a heavy disregard for national news outlets that's not favorable to him calling them "fake news" at press conferences and in his tweets. However, it's his senior advisor Kellyanne Conway that popularized the term "alternative facts", which does sound rather Orwellian. That said, I do believe the mainstream media is extremely bias against Trump (and
polls show this) with CNN stooping to the lowest of lows by running a
false Trump story initially reported by Buzzfeed. Nevertheless, it's the job of news outlets to hold this administration accountable, but do it from a non-biased point of view. The president is spreading around so many lies, half-lies/half-truths, and misinformation that I've lost track.
