In a certain sense we’ve had to give Trump some chance, because right now he is president, and so we have all had to see what he does with that. I suppose talking to a fiscal conservative, I might point out his vacations and security in this month have each cost more than Obama’s in a year, so it is fair see what taxpayers are getting for this money.
On that point, the story tells itself to anyone sensible. Even someone sociopathic enough to want to keep out refugees should be able to tell the executive order was incompetent, threw travel into chaos for all sorts of people, and wasn’t written in a way that could stand up in court. The leader who promised to take on ISIS authorized his first mission, and it ended with both marine and civilian casualties and US forces getting kicked out of Yemen. That’s not even touching the attacks on the Lugenpresse, the intelligence agencies, the environment, every part of the government, the very notion of facts.
But you’re quite right, very little of this is a surprise to people who payed the least attention before the election. I agree with the others here, saying Trump still needs to be given a chance after all this is so unreasonable, anyone asking for it plainly means to be disingenuous. There’s no sense arguing against it as if it were something people actually thought.
