[quote=Anonymous]Wow, "shock event?"  Hardly. The author gives this bunch way too much credit.  They are amateurs.   They said a couple of weeks ago, they would be rolling out EOs every day for two weeks.  He also promised to ban Muslims.  Thus none of this  shocking.  Instead, it is  an entirely predictable demonstration of fulfilling campaign promises.

Maybe we were just supposed to take him seriously and literally after all.  His flashy signings and big talk are going to run into the hard truth of reality quickly.  That's when we will see what they are made of.

Trump is acting like he rode in a massive electoral mandate, when actually he won by the narrowest of margins.  Grandiose promises are effective on the campaign, but when he can't deliver?  Then what?  When those coal mining jobs never materialize?  Then what?  When there is nothing "terrific" to replace Obamacare?  Then what? When Congess won't fund a massive military build up, a border wall, and a trillion dollar infrastucure project and cut taxes all at the same time?  Then what?

Trump is boxed in domestically.   Let's hope he doesn't take the route of so many other failing leaders and create an external crisis/war to solidify domestic support, but his reshuffle of the NSC is not encouraging in that regard.  The DNI and the CJCS are the two best restraints on the use of military power.[/quote]
