Kind of embarrassing. Yeah, you can issue Exec Orders that do little or get blocked by courts or ignored but when you haven't fixed inflation, stopped wars, etc. on Day One and then help push the national debt past $40 trillion, and hurt the little people while further enriching your billionaire buddies, folks might be taking notice. And then your deportation program is on schedule to get rid of those 11 million illegals in, oh let's see, 36 years at present rate.
