    The bulk of what Obama did accomplish was done by executive order or similar unilateral action (often unconstitutionally).

    The bulk of Trump's accomplishments to date are undoing those executive orders (and things like the Paris Climate deal and soon the Iran debacle of a deal). And the massive number of regulations added by overzealous fools.

    Some things can't be undone - like stealing the ownership of GM from its proper owners and giving it away to his constituency.

    Yeah, not actually true. As you'd know if you read the article I linked, rather than pivoting to your next Breitbart talking point.

    Removing the US from the Paris Climate Accord didn't actually do much, since A. the rest of the world didn't abandon the deal and B. many of the most populous states in the US chose to continue meeting the standards. Trump's move was just for signaling purposes to his base, not anything consequential. In addition, Obama's stimulus legislation kicked off a green energy infrastructure growth that is now as or more competitive than fossil fuels. Coal production continues to decline. Car companies continue to invest in electric cars. Trump can pretend he's holding back clean energy and progress in limiting emissions, but it's just (anti-)virtue signaling.

    You should read the article--being part of Trump's base doesn't mean you have to be uninformed about these things.

    I read the article.

    My observations are objective, not biased by partisanship.

    Tell me how inconsequential approving the XL Pipeline is?

    The objective is obvious to those whose noses aren't brown from being so far up Obama's butt.

    Oh, I know. No one talks about being objective more than you.

    Did you see the one where Obama said "at least I'm president, Trump will never be" and dropped the mic?

    :lol:

    So, Trump thinks slowest, according to you? In your desperate flailings to be clever, you embarrass yourself routinely. :)

    No, you said Trump has last laugh. Tough luck. Blew your own joke.

    Don't worry, it wasn't a very good joke to start with.

    (Please don't embarrass yourself further with your typically generic comebacks like, "No, YOU'RE the joke" or "The only joke here is Obama!" That would be so Denny.)

    I thought lefties were supposed to be good at humor. Your sense needs a LOT of work.

    How's your 401K doing?

    Tired of winning yet?

    Stock market probably isn't a good thing to call 'scoreboard' on. It can turn on you in an instant.

    I see it as you're vehemently anti democrat....which is a bias and not objective at all....I admit I'm anti republican even though I'm not a democrat

    That could be or it could be that someone who disagrees with the Democrats more has different priorities than you do.

    I've read Denny post a million things he dislikes about Trump but around here he's a full blown Trumpette according to some.

    I think, or hope you understand the point I was making.

    Denny is for open borders, find me a Republican going back a million years that is.
