REALLY ... you've seen his medical records ... or is that smoke in your eyes or is that because the Netherlands has high mental incident numbers and you believe you have the first hand knowledge to comment?

The ones on the books already. The benefits are that laws are being followed. Can't wait for immigration quotas already on the books to be enforced. People are going to lose their minds. God forbid we be a nation of laws.
Well, to be clear, the majority didn’t choose Trump. He lost by about three million votes. Unfortunately, the competition was for electoral votes, and, to that end, Hillary campaigned in the wrong places. So it goes.
Which sounds great.
Unfortunately Trump has shown nothing to suggest that any of his real world experience makes him remotely suitable for the job at hand.
This is the problem. People have become so accustomed to career politicians being in the White House that they can't fathom anyone else being there. They don't understand that these career politicians are the problem, not the solution.
Signing executive orders because the regulations would never pass the house or senate is exactly why people hated obama.
1 person is not supposed to be able to change laws or create laws. Doesn't matter if you agree with the Muslim ban or not, 1 man should not have that power.
You claim he's just enforcing current laws but that's not at all the case. He's making new laws all by himself. You know, like a dictator would.
Since we(US) topple dictators around the world, would it be okay for another country to come in and topple the trump administration?
It would be yuge
You're being a bit vague to be honest.
Is Trump enforcing laws which were to previously enforced or followed?
Which laws are these?
He seems to be doing just fine absent the paid protestors who will no doubt complain about everything. He could bake them the greatest cake ever and they'd protest.

The rules are already on the books. He's not making laws by himself. He is not a dictator. Hell the wall was passed in 2006. Current imigration policy allows temporary halts to resolve Visa issues or counter a country that's behaving badly.
maybe, maybe not ... but he has hired the people who are suitable ... and Americans should feel damned good about that..
The solution doesn't appear to be to have someone with Trump's lack of political experience as President.
Previous laws that have been ignored. Where was the outrage from the left when Obama screwed the Cubans on his way out with an executive order?
And what experience did the previous president have before assuming his role . you know that guy who proudly told everyone that he has visited all 57 states in the union, with one more to go.
Political experience, there it is again. As if a career politician ever gave a rats ass about anyone but themselves and the next election cycle.
Yes he is. Do you have some alternate definition of executive order?
Anyone watched rogue one?? "You can keep watch imperial flags reign around the galaxy" - "its not a problem if you keep your head down."
i don't know if he is medically mentally ill, but you only have to look at some of the stuff he has come out with to realise something isn't quite right.
The whole crowd thing might seem petty on the surface, but don't you think it was odd that he would try to argue that black was white, when the whole world could easily verify that it wasn't?
It seems a concern to me that he really seems to believe what he says, even when it clearly isn't true. And then have people in the administration come out and use terms like "alternative facts". I'm sorry, but WTAF?
If they are prepared to lie about stuff that is so easily verifiable, they're probably not going to have too much trouble lying about things that are much harder to check.
Hey Tim,
Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 states: Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.
Just saying.

He's applying section 306 of HR 3525. But hey, some people think he's just making up law.
Link to the actual law he is enforcing:

I'd like to thank America for making Europe and Turkey safer, ISIS will now be concentrating on America with their Saudi born terrorists
You are the one who said he isn't making laws by himself. I don't need more evidence then him legislating with executive orders.
I can tell you are blindly in love with DT so this conversation will never get passed this point.
If these laws were on the books an executive order would not be required to ratify them.
No, not 'maybe, maybe not'. Definitely not.
he hasn't hired suitable people at all - most of his departmental appointees are more suited to dismantling the departments that are supposed to be in charge of, or have virtually no relevant experience.
Or perhaps you could talk a bit more about why Betsy DeVos or Scott Pruitt are suitable to be in charge of the Education and the Environment departments?

The US has not been attacked by anyone from the 7 countries being banned. The difference seems to be that Trump holds business interests in those countries. Pretty much every terrorist since 9-11 has been a US homegrown one. So the criteria seems to be: Muslim country that doesn't affect Trump's money.
Green card holders are being included and they've already been vetted to get those green cards.
Trump has been adding his voice to politics for over 20 years, despite him being the CEO of a big company. You can find old videos of him on Oprah talking politics. Also remember birtherism?
The difference is that members of Cook's staff are being directly affected by these orders. And not just by a dollar or two on their taxes, but by not being able to return if they go on vacation.
I've tried to keep to keep quiet on social media about all this stuff. I'm in a managerial/executive role at my company too, but at some point you want to make sure history remembers that you spoke out when serious injustice was being done.
With Bannon in his staff, singling out a minority group based on religion, labelling any critical news outlets as Fake, attacking particular US companies (for doing what he's done with his own products -outsourcing), refusing to properly divest from emoluments, bringing his kids (who are now running his companies) into political meetings that will affect those companies, potential Russian blackmailing, suggested using nuclear weapons, stealing oil from an allied country, the use of torture (banned by the Geneva Convention) ... we're only a week into his presidency. I think people should be speaking out.
