...and the president is supposed to represent ALL Americans, not just the ones that voted for him.
Most importantly, he should be faithful to the legislation that was passed by Congresses and signed by other presidents; to the funding just taken away by this one party's choice in that election.
When has that EVER been normal? What the hell does that have to do with the vote taken in November? No one, but no one told Americans that their vote meant eviscerating often bipartisan legislated programs, agencies, and funding.
What other president has had the ability to eviscerate the programs and funding they didn't like by executive fiat? That's not the will of the voters, that's totalitarianism.
More than that, we all should expect our leader of the nation to be at least coherent and truthful, and this inveterate liar has not demonstrated either his understanding of basic laws that he's thwarting; the courts that he's defying; understanding of the fact that the 'trillions' he's coveting for government came mostly our of Americans' pockets without their will, with Trump claiming other nations would pay.
The will of the majority in this case is every bit the tyranny of the majority, and that isn't in dispute by pointing to the votes we cast in November. This isn't supposed to be a spoils system of government, it's long been presumed to be a democracy. It's high time Americans recognize this before we lose our very votes.
