My favourite bit was when he vowed to push for term limits for members of Congress and a lifetime ban on lobbying for former lawmakers, both of which were promises from his 2016 run. Both he never did when in power. He should have promised us a wall and to lock hillary up too
With a congress and senate he can work with, then it's possible. He can't do it all on his own.
The US president has almost god like powers through executive order, skip over the "voter suppression" bs and pay attention to the relevant part in bold

>As I wrote in The Party is Over, the present objective of congressional Republicans is to render the executive branch powerless, at least until a Republican president is elected (a goal that voter suppression laws in GOP-controlled states are clearly intended to accomplish). President Obama cannot enact his domestic policies and budgets: Because of incessant GOP filibustering, not only could he not fill the large number of vacancies in the federal judiciary, he could not even get his most innocuous presidential appointees into office. Democrats controlling the Senate have responded by weakening the filibuster of nominations, but Republicans are sure to react with other parliamentary delaying tactics. This strategy amounts to congressional nullification of executive branch powers by a party that controls a majority in only one house of Congress. Despite this apparent impotence, President Obama can liquidate American citizens without due processes, detain prisoners indefinitely without charge, conduct dragnet surveillance on the American people without judicial warrant and engage in unprecedented — at least since the McCarthy era — witch hunts against federal employees (the so-called “Insider Threat Program”). Within the United States, this power is characterized by massive displays of intimidating force by militarized federal, state and local law enforcement. Abroad, President Obama can start wars at will and engage in virtually any other activity whatsoever without so much as a by-your-leave from Congress, such as arranging the forced landing of a plane carrying a sovereign head of state over foreign territory. Despite the habitual cant of congressional Republicans about executive overreach by Obama, the would-be dictator, we have until recently heard very little from them about these actions — with the minor exception of comments from gadfly Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky. Democrats, save a few mavericks such as Ron Wyden of Oregon, are not unduly troubled, either — even to the extent of permitting seemingly perjured congressional testimony under oath by executive branch officials on the subject of illegal surveillance.
Yes. The only thing to stop that is domestic opposition. This domestic opposition would appear without fail against any policy like you mentioned if Trump tried it. It would 24x7 nonstop and leftie losers on the streets.
A politician spouting bullshit? Not likely! It's one of the most honest professions, right next to used car salesmen.
I know it's been downvoted, but it's a valid point. Even if you really like trump, he's in with the politicians, so he has to be one to some extent.
and like others have said, the president is hampered by congress and others. maybe someone could remove Kushner and trump would be free
Kushner was probably given the pedo blackmail that Roy Cohn got on Trump when he was "mentoring" him. Roy Cohn being one of the most notorious jewish pedophiles and blackmailers in history.
