You are getting all aggressive with Trump, but Obama signed more Executive Orders than all previous Presidents. This has been a long standing pattern of Presidents arrogating more power to themselves with Congress standing idly by and letting it happen. The reason is that House Members and Senators have become loyal to Party and not to the American people. So the Exec and Legislative Branches really are no longer separate and co-equal. The Legislative is now a subordinate Branch. That's a problem. Congress routinely receives horrible approval ratings. The reason is they do nothing and when they do act, they focus on partisan attacks like this Impeachment Hoax, instead of doing things for the American people, like focus on health care, student loans, infrastructure, immigration. As for Trump and his actions in the ME, remember, he was handed the cards on the ME when he took office. He didn't start those wars and so far, he's been reluctant to commit to expansion of wars. In fact, he tried to pull out of Syria and lost SecDef Mattis as a result. So my position on Trump is not contradictory. He is doing a great job and he's doing his best in the ME. It's just hard to extricate ourselves from that hell hole after 30 years of involvement. He's going to have to push very hard. It would be nice if the Democrats would stop with their non-sense distractions, so that he can do his job without constantly worrying that 50% of the people under him are trying to stab him in the back and wreck every effort he makes to help the American People. As for Iran, I am not for total war against Iran. We can bomb their nuke facilities and not be in a total war with them. Ground forces are what total war means. Israel bombed Iran's nukes awhile ago and got away with it. We have many options, and yes, the sooner the better. Lastly, on China, they do and have controlled NK. China leave NK to act like the rabid dog, because it distracts the US. China's game is very simple. Let the US exhaust ourselves and all our resources policing the world and facing off against all the rabid dogs in the ME and NK and Russia, while China expands their economy, their trade deals, their loans, their infrastructure, their military, and their supply of stolen IP from the US. They have been doing this for 30 years and they'll keep playing this game. It's brilliant and right now, since the US can't get its head out of its ass, we are falling right into the moves China wants us to make.
