Obama had put in place an illegal executive order before leaving to give a grace period keeping his goons there. It was both bait and a stall tactic. That combined with the Russia bullshit masking an illegal spying campaign sanctioned by the FISA courts, Congress would have risked steamrolling him out of office within the first few months.
Though I honestly would have preferred that had happened because mass civil disobedience and Civil War 2.0 probably would have kicked off, and the ship may have been righted by now
Nigger he tried that with DACA. Supreme Court said no. Do you have the memory of a goldfish? Or are you just retarded?
I remember that. And it makes no sense. I should read the decision to see how they contorted the ruling to say that an executive order can't be undone by another executive order.
I understand that Trump had the ability to cancel it and that maybe Congress wouldn't have the balls to counteract, but the media was already painting him as a dictator and a good portion of the country believed in those lies before he even stepped foot in office, just for simply stating the reality of illegal immigration.
It was apparent within the first year that Trump was more concerned about image (which is something many populists suffer from), and as much as we like to joke about "4D chess" after the fact, there was no foresight on where he could go (which is a consequence of being an outsider who is more of diplomat instead of a warrior). Practically every Republican was walking away and clearly wanted him to disappear, or they buckled. Sessions immediately bowed out when the heat was on.
With all that happened, he SHOULD have gone forward with firing everybody, even though I have no idea how badly the Deep State would rail against those who aren't Beltway pigs. Who knows what lengths leftist mobs, the media and intelligence agencies would have gone to smear him, but it could have been a spectacle.
You can thank Russiagate for preventing this, or if you want to go one step further, Mitch McConnell and the GOP establishment.
I'm sure that at some early point Trump realized he needed to fire the entire bureaucracy, but also realized that Republicans would help Dems impeach him Caesar-style if he ever moved to do so. As DistilledLife says, that might have been a good thing, but we also might have American troops dying overseas if not for Trump's term as well.
I somewhat agree with this. However, he couldn't have pardoned Jenna Ellis or anyone else who hadn't even been charged when he left office.
You think he understood the depth of hatred for him when he took office? This man is oblivious to most criticism, even. Surely he would not assume from day one that the entire bureaucracy was going to conspire to get him out of office and keep him out.
