You just called something fake news and think you'd get away with it without a frame of reference? The point of me posting the above was about the facts. It was explicitly to show that you are an insufficient judge of what a fact is. It's not about you as an individual, it's about what the term "fake news" has become. You are but an example of a greater whole that ignores reality, when it doesn't agree with what they think. Which I think has been misunderstood as ignorance, but really just vain...

Felya logic - "You can't say Santa is fake because you posted something was fake". Not only is your logic flawed you failed to see that I corrected my statement in the thread your talking about. But instead of reading it you want to harp on it because you have nothing of substance to post.
Did you take Donald Trump seriously when he first announced? if you did then you are Nostradamus most people thought it was a publicity stunt it wasn't until during the primaries did people start to take him as a threat. I don't know anyone including Trump voters who thought he would win when he first announced. I am referring to candidate Trump in the primaries Jeb was thought to be the one.

Scroll down to policy. There's vastly too much to post in here. but here's a snippet:
Remember, our media doesn't care about governing. They care about getting viewership. You're not going to hear much about the stuff he does get passed unless it's one of the big issues they always highlight.By March 21, Trump had signed nine Acts of Congress into law under the 115th United States Congress. This includes the Repeal of the Disclosure of Payments by Resource Extraction Issuers Rule (115-4) signed on February 14, 2017 and the Repeal of Stream Protection Rule (115-5) signed by Trump on February 16, 2017.
His policy section is about 20 times the size of that of obamas first 100 days on the same site. You have to remember that liberals measure success by how many laws/rules/regulations are written, where as conservatives measure success by how many laws/rules/regulations are repealed. Big Gov't vs Non Big Gov't is the gist, although there's arguments that both parties still like big government.

Size is not everything. About half of that policy section is taken up by the refugee controversy, the vapid wall stuff (just signed an EO that he will totally tackle that project) and the ACA fight. Aside from that you have EOs like giving Bannon a seat on the NSC, the mortgage stuff and the lobbying limitations thing.
The thing is also that withdrawing from something or putting a hiring freeze/gag order on people is not much easier than coming up with something new that makes sense.
He has done a lot to deregulate and take away consumer protection.
Sorry most of these are glorified tweets and cannot be enacted until they are passed by congress into law these include the border wall, Dodd-Frank, CFPB, Repeal of the ACA, infrastructure spending. His executive orders on immigration are under judicial review and the executive order on local sanctuary cities is without teeth (state rights).
The biggest problem with executive orders is that they are not laws and have severe limitations especially if it involves money because separation of powers etc. When people say Trump has not done much it refers to this, in order for you to govern you need congress to pass laws and budgets. Trump seem to have no interest in doing the hard work of part of governing which is why he left Trumpcare to Paul Ryan, he needs to stop playing golf every weekend and get into the weeds.
