It takes a good leader to work with Congress to achieve mutual agreement for the good of the country. The Constitution does not give the president dictatorial authority to bypass Congress on such matters.
The Constitution also gives the president authority to deploy the military temporally, under certain conditions, without prior Congressional authority. Bill Clinton also exercised that authority.
It is too soon to know how Trump will handle these matters and if he will succeed for the benefit of the country.
As for racism; Obama would never have been elected if he had not received a large white vote.
Every president in the past was given the opportunity to see what he could accomplish (Obama had it twice). Trump now deserves our support and the same opportunity.
There are only so many concessions one can make before you realize everything is going one way. Obstruction, disrespect for the position, and a promise to obstruct from the very beginning. No other President has been addressed disrespectfully as Obama has. I would think you would love a Christian family man. But no, Obama can't have his religion. Like it or not he is Christian and always has been. Obamas wife cannot even expose her arms without complaint. But Trumps wife can go nude. and nobody says a thing. Obama can't even have his own birthplace of Hawaii which by the time he was born was proclaimed the 50th state. Does anyone have any idea what a stretch it is to claim the documents are fake. Even though you cannot fake a newspaper published over 50 years ago.
Since Republicans have gained control of Congress
Partisan fights remain, and senators aren't spending much time on the floor debating bills — but they are passing them, and at a surprising clip.
All told, including the 31 Senate bills and 42 House-written bills, Congress approved 73 measures that Mr. Obama signed into law from January through the end of June. That's nearly three times the number of bills approved in the first six months of 2015 and 20 more than in 2014, which was the last year Democrats had control of the Senate.
Why is it too soon. Trump has a track record of division and derision. Putting down blacks as thugs, mexicans as rapists, Jews as owning entertainment industry, disabled are spaztic, a war hero is a loser because he got captured. Beauty queens are fat, assault is acceptable, vile rhetoric is encouraged. Nationalists are applauded, Nazi's and KKK have gone mainstream. I don't know what country you are from but in America those are not positive traits. Please tell me again how. According to Trump the President can't have a conflict of interest. Tearing down infrastructure and replacing it with toll roads. Endorsing the fact in certain states you cannot even go to the bathroom, marry your partner, share custody of a child. You do not have the right to healthcare, if you want to change your name, do it now. In two months you won't be able to. I know I can't convince you are anyone else that is immune to facts but hey maybe someone else will read and realize what's been going on. What I do know, Obama is the best President of my lifetime. Every opportunity to bring Hope and Change was twarted by the 9% Congress. And when he failed there was "How is that hopey changy thing going for you. You had Rush Limbaugh complaining before Obama even warm the seat in the Oval Office.
