It’s barely been a week since Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. It’s truly frightening all of the crap that has been shoved down our throats in such a short time.

Wow … I had been keeping up with some of his madness, but seeing it like this … holy hell … I’m shuddering at what is in store for you guys next and our thoughts are with you xo
Thanks, we need all the good thoughts we can get.
A warped little man with a warped little brain. SAD!
I wouldn’t characterize him as little now that he has this power. Disgusting, intolerable, vicious, cruel, ignorant, sure.
He is one scary mother f*&ker for sure!
Reblogged this on Opher's World and commented:
what a record! The guy is a complete irresponsible moron.
Thanks for the reblog.
Did you hear what tRump did concerning the security council?
http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-steve-bannon-national-security-council-2017-1
=========================================================================
President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum Saturday that removed the nation’s top military and intelligence advisers as regular attendees of the National Security Council’s Principals Committee, the interagency forum that deals with policy issues affecting national security.
The executive measure established Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon as a regular attendee, whereas the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Director of National Intelligence will be allowed to participate only “where issues pertaining to their responsibilities and expertise are to be discussed.”
==========================================================================
Yes the Chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and the Director of National Intelligence who we would always want at security meetings can’t go all the time, but Bannon who has no background in security or intelligence has permission to attend every meeting. Why? Hugs
Holy crap! Can this clown show just stop already???
I am getting whiplash from my head spinning back and forth over it all. Hugs
Yikes! God only knows what next week holds.
wow, busy little beaver!
On Friday he sent shockwaves around the world when he signed an executive order to indefinitely suspend admissions for Syrian refugees and drastically reduce the flow of other refugees into the United States by instituting what he’s termed “extreme vetting.”
As CNN reported, The order bars all persons from certain terror-prone countries from entering the United States for 90 days and suspends the US Refugee Admissions Program for 120 days until it is reinstated “only for nationals of countries for whom” members of Trump’s Cabinet deem can be properly vetted.
Just 7 days into the Trump presidency; here’s what the media wants to HIDE Social media giants partner with MAJOR conservative FOE Leftists protest Uber because CEO said THIS about Trump…
The countries impacted are Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia, according to a White House official.
“I hereby proclaim that the entry of nationals of Syria as refugees is detrimental to the interests of the United States and thus suspend any such entry,” the order signed by Trump reads.
The total number of refugees admitted into the United States would also be capped during the 2017 fiscal year at 50,000, down more than half from the current level of 110,000.
But that’s only yesterday! Here’s the full list of what President Trump has achieved in his first week (H/T Vox):
1. Changed existing policy to require every unauthorized immigrant caught crossing the border be detained.
2. Expanded the Obama administration’s existing policy of prioritizing the deportation of unauthorized immigrants convicted of serious crimes.
3. Beefed up border enforcement, adding agents to Immigrations and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations office and reinstating the Secure Communities program.
4. Directed the Department of Homeland Security to begin construction on a wall on the US-Mexico border, to the extent that it can be paid for with existing funds.
5. Signed an executive order promising to withhold federal money from sanctuary cities.
6. Reinstated the “global gag rule,” that blocks federal funding from international family planning organizations that “either provide abortion or discuss abortion services with their clients.
7. Withdrew the US from negotiations over the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.
8. Announced a hiring freeze throughout the federal government except for the military and national security or public safety positions.
9. Announced a temporary regulatory freeze.
10. Put a freeze on public communications (like news releases and social media posts) and grant spending at several agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency.
11. Suspended the Obama administration plan to cut interest rates for Federal Housing Administration–backed home loans.
12. Issued an executive order telling agencies to waive or grant exemptions from Obamacare fees and regulations “to the maximum extent permitted by law.”
13. Canceled advertisements urging people to sign up for Obamacare.
14. Signed executive memos that will make it easier for TransCanada to construct the Keystone XL pipeline and for Energy Transfer Partners to build the final uncompleted portion of the Dakota Access pipeline.
And there are 207 more weeks left in his first term!
The Bannon thing is uncalled for, and I read the list you posted, and the bullshit this asshole is getting away with.
Pretty ridiculous isn’t it?
It sure the fuck is. Sometimes I’m at a loss of words to say, concerning the craziness in DC.
I am so sick of DT and all the crap he is doing. Can’t believe people actually voted for him. He is not and will never be my President 😡😡😡.
Me too!
How do you compile this list? I’d like to keep up with it myself. But, that’s because I like Trump.
No words……
He ‘s the unwise and more terrible OZ with his tanning machine, hair gel, and twitter for the king-of-the-twits account.
You got that right Cindy!
Whoaaa!!!
Wow 😳!!!!
Don’t know what to say..
But from the look of it all..
We are in for a rough ride..
He’s on a rampage..
Wit the lack of fun for everything mentioned..
It’s going to get rough around here!!!
So sad indeed..
Great way of putting it.. He’s warped indeed
Ditto!!
What a nightmare.
That’s for sure.
My only “positive” if you will is this:*
On January 22nd, 2017, DT appeared to blow a kiss to director James Comey during a meeting with the FBI, and then opened his arms in a gesture of strange, paternal affection, before hugging him with a pat on the back
It’s a NY kind of thing. hahahahah Seriously.
