He is also working on other things (such as re-negotiating deals), but those were 3 of his biggest campaign promises. However, no matter what he works on, he's going to face unprecedented obstruction. Even his SCOTUS pick got filibustered.

Re-negotiating which deals?

Is this "obstruction" really that "unprecedented"? People will do anything to preserve a way of life.

Who? Neil Gorsuch?

It's like asking somebody to confirm that air still exists. You can walk outside your house for that. However, keep in mind that it was a LARGE part of his re-election campaign, including his silly "truck" metaphor he kept using.

So, no sources? And that's nothing like "asking somebody to confirm that air still exists".

It wasn't a "silly metaphor". It made sense. Under Bush's administration, the country entered one of the worst economic recessions in history - equivalent to driving a car into a ditch. (And by the way, yes, it was a car, not a truck). Obama's administration got the country (and the car) out of the ditch, all the while everyone else just asked them to hurry faster.

you mean the investigation literally going on right now? And while NOBODY running an investigation has accused Trump of any complicity -- not James Comey, etc -- that hasn't stopped the media from claiming it. The media literally does not care about facts.

Yes, the current investigation. I'd be surprised if Trump stands by and lets the investigators have full access and not complain about it.

You're saying this as if all media are the same. Maybe it's news to you, but the media doesn't just consist of CNN and FOX News. CBS, ABC, NBC, etc. And before you complain, not all of these examples are the same as CNN.

Actually, it was completely within their control unless you're arguing that their votes only count when it's for the winning candidate, which is would be Erik levels of nonsense. Likewise, a hardy hearty LOL @ the claim that Trump had the election in the bag before any votes were cast, given that his win wasn't that huge and almost every source predicted a Hillary win.

Now you're comparing me to Erik? What the hell dude.

For the fifth time in U.S. history, and the second time this century, a presidential candidate has won the White House while losing the popular vote.

In this week’s Electoral College balloting, Donald Trump won 304 electoral votes to Hillary Clinton’s 227, with five Democratic and two Republican “faithless electors” voting for other people. That result was despite the fact that Clinton received nearly 2.9 million more popular votes than Trump in November’s election, according to Pew Research Center’s tabulation of state election results. Our tally shows Clinton won 65.8 million votes (48.25%) to almost 63 million (46.15%) for Trump, with minor-party and independent candidates taking the rest.

Trump won because states with key electoral votes voted in his favor. Hillary won the popular vote, like I just told you.

No, I, like many others, knew Trump would win. I hoped I would be wrong, but surprise.

Like George Carlin said, in the same video I posted that you haven't yet responded to (for god only knows why), voting is meaningless.

Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish and ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish and ignorant politicians.
