This seems like a moderately complete list. It appeared on my Facebook feed this morning. Joy.
Facts from the first 4 days. How is everyone feeling about the new regime today?

On January 21st, 2017, DT brought a group of 40 cheerleaders to a meeting with the CIA to cheer for him during a speech that consisted almost entirely of framing himself as the victim of dishonest press.
On January 21st, 2017, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer held a press conference largely to attack the press for accurately reporting the size of attendance at the inaugural festivities, saying that the inauguration had the largest audience of any in history, “period.”

Trump is now proving he believes the office of President of the United States of America is exactly like the portrayal of the Pharoah in The Ten Commandments: “So shall it be written; so shall it be done”. He’s governing by fiat now, with complete disregard to where the money for his programs will come from. Worse yet, he’s saying the money will come from a source that certainly will not provide the funds.
Well, maybe they will for one year. Pretty soon, though, they’re going to start looking at their own chances of reelection by the millions they’ve screwed over.
And the wall is now official. So we pay for it, us taxpayers at the tune of billions, until we take it down, and we pay for that too.
I’m still amazed by the fact that anyone other than his immediate family even considered voting for him. My guess is that “Change” speech Obama gave just scared the hell out of them.
Yeppers. If you’re not his version of perfect, then you’re useless. It’s like watching a civilian analog of Patton (from the movie) when the movie version of Patton slapped a soldier in hospital. All that DT cares about is his version of reality.
Two days ago, I met a rather nice couple from Moscow on vacation in Busan. The husband asked me what I thought about Trump. My answer: “He’s crazy.” The man then said, “Why would you say he’s crazy? I love having him in the white house. Now Russia has more influence in the world.”
I’m going to have to say that disconnect is also evident in Trump’s “thinking”.
Yep, that’s what he’s done to royally piss me off today. What a wall’s going to do to stop people who are already willing to risk their lives to cross the border, I don’t fucking know.
Maybe this is just a glitch, but the whitehouse.gov petition site hasn’t been registering signatures all day. I signed the “Ungag the EPA” petition, and several people on Twitter said they did also, but the site still shows only one signer. Trump’s probably not going to bother reading the petitions anyway.
President Trump has already accomplished more in his first few days than the golfer accomplished in his entire 8 years!
Happy times are here again! Indeed! Isn’t it great to finally have a President that actually cares about the American people for a change?
It’s pretty funny how hordes of delusional people on the left and virtually the entire crooked media claimed that he didn’t have a chance of winning. Watching youtube videos of Hillary supporters crying is better than any comedy film released in the past year.
Another talking point that was popular was how he wasn’t really serious and there for example wasn’t going to be a wall. Trump doesn’t really mean anything that he says, it’s never going to happen, it’s all talk! said plenty of people with their heads up their butts.
I can’t wait to hear the next predictions from these highly enlightened people.
Whatever they predict or claim about Trump, you can expect the exact opposite to come true. They are batting zero. Keep up the good work!
I believe that Trump will go down in history as one of the greatest American Presidents of all time, rivaling Washington and Lincoln, and perhaps even surpassing them.
Yeah! Gagging US science departments and making it impossible for them to release their findings - achievement! You fuckwit. You’re in the same boat as the rest of us.
Liberal science does not qualify as legitimate, factual science.
Liberal propaganda disguised as “science” is merely a scam and the perpetrators of such frauds (global warming etc.) should be held accountable for their actions.
I seem to remember something about Mexico paying for the wall, but somehow the American taxpayers are stuck paying. Four days in and he already is breaking promises.
He promised to “drain the swamp” and criticized Clinton for giving speeches at Goldman Sachs because that meant that she would be too influenced by them. Six of his cabinet nominees are from Goldman Sachs. Another promise broken.
It seems he can’t even make it through a week before starting to break all the promises he made to the American public.
If Trump (or any other elected official, really) were truly serious about stopping illegal immigration over the US’s southern border, then all they’d really have to do is actually start punishing businesses and individuals who are hiring illegals. If no jobs are available, then nobody will come for them. But, of course, we all know the likelihood of that happening.
