^^^^That's irrelevant.

Are you trying to say that since Reagan died, suddenly the dems became trustworthy?

Nah...they just don't like history because they are guilty through all of it...just move on...until they get back in power then all things will still be blamed on the last Republican.

Trump is on pace to sign more executive orders than any president in the last 50 years
On Thursday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at allowing people to band together to seek more affordable health insurance, a move some consider an attempt to cripple the Affordable Care Act.

It was the 49th executive order that Trump has signed since coming into office on January 20. The last president to sign that many executive orders through October 13 of his first year in office? Lyndon Johnson.

There are many reasons to beef up security on the southern border while not so many reasons not to. Trump isn’t one to backdown from a fight and takes his campaign promises seriously, hence the stalemate.

I don’t see an end anytime soon, barring someone in congress finding a genius compromise to break the gridlock. Right now there is only one side that will not negotiate

Then he needs to get on Mexico for the money for the wall. Time is wasting and people need their paychecks.

In this case Trump is absolutely right on policy (Democrats voted for the border barrier before Trump) a strong barrier is needed in many areas of the border so I think he is fine to keep fighting for it.
Except the majority didn't vote for him and are not interested in the wall. He still has his base but is now losing some of them. He is going to need to do more feel-good rallies.

It takes TWO to comprise. I don’t see Trump doing much himself.
