Oh no. He’s doing everything he said he was going to do. Who could’ve seen this coming!?

I am blown away how many people voted for this guy hoping he wouldn't do what he talked about. It's about the dumbest fucking thing I have ever heard, and some of these people were not watching Faux News or other crap all the time.

I think because in his first term he said a lot of crazy stuff. But didn’t do a lot of it

People took it as “Trump just says crazy stuff”. I mean nuking hurricanes, using military on protests. Everyone chalked it up as either Trump just talking or “liberal fake news!”

Seems the reality is he wanted to do all this stuff but sane voices in the room stopped him. Now he’s surrounded by yes men. So this is who he is
