Trump creates 'Office of the Former President' in Florida

Dominion may not win the full amounts, but I presume they will put a dent in Trump's and Gulianis pockets.

 

Trump never did follow the rules set by the Corporate Establishment Party. He has always followed our laws set by the Constitution. I expect both to continue.

I do agree that Citizen Trump will likely be even more rebellious and outspoken than President Trump was.

 

From the opening post:

"Former President Donald Trump on Monday established an official post-presidency office in Palm Beach County, Florida to oversee his affairs, Fox News has learned."

Somebody better let Stormy Daniels, Karen McDougal and a host of others know that Trump is back in the "affairs" game. Just call the office for further details.....the office is located just behind the 16th green at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. And thanks to Fox News for bringing this to our attention.......

 

~ Maybe Trump and Bill Clinton can set up shop ..? `Lonely Lover Boys ´

 

I have never been opposed to the TRUTH coming out regardless of what it is.

 

Executive orders are bad again.

 

I don't understand why they didn't present evidence in the lawsuits already filed (and mostly dismissed) but they will get their chance with Dominion as the Plaintiff. Hopefully, it will lay all this to rest.

 

PLEAASSEEEEE PLEEEEAAAASSSSSEEEEE have him try to help republicans in the next election........He has fractured that party so bad....PLEEEEEAAAAASSSEEEE have him inject himself in the next cycle.....

 

They've always been bad. Executive Orders a sign of a dysfunctional government. They reflect a combination of Congress not doing their job of legislation and an Executive who can not successfully influence Congress to compromise. It doesn't really matter which party is signing EO's, but more EO's reflects more dysfunction in the our Banana Republic.

 

So far since leaving office, Trump endorsed Dr. Kelli Ward for Arizona's GOP Chair. She secured the two-year term.

His second endorsement is for Sarah Sanders, who has announced that she is running for Governor of Arkansas. Of course, that election is two years out, but I would expect Sarah to win and Trump's endorsement will be helpful in Arkansas.

Obviously, he'll have little influence in blue states, marginal in purple states, but he will be a kingmaker in red states by endorsing candidates with the America First principles over any incumbent Corporate Party RINOs.

The majority of 2020 Republican voters want the GOP to adopt Trump's policy platform going forward.

 

Exceptions aside I do too, just hope those exceptions are few and far between.

 

LOL... you folks assured us 5 years ago Biden had ZERO chance... lol you have jokes today...

 

I wonder if he'll ever read one....

 

Most of the cases were dismissed on procedural issues, which meant that the cases where not allowed to be presented to the courts.

Trump's lawyers were never allowed to inspect voter data in the Dominion systems. With Dominion suing Giuliani, the company will have to expose their data.

This is a good thing ( and pretty much what the Trump lawyers were asking for, but denied ).

 

Executive orders have nothing to do with Congress and legislation. EOs apply only to policy under the jurisdiction of the execitive branch.

 

Wow, completely delusional. You should try reality some time.

 

I wonder if our former president can spell book.

 

Not likely. Trump is as queer as a three dollar bill.

 

I agree. Where was this when the orange mountain of lard was signing them? Did you criticize him even once?

 

They dont need his "help" in red states.

 

All due respect, but thats just not true. Trump has fractured the party, and Nancy Pelosi is capitalizing on it. She is forcing the impeachment to further that divide in the republican party. Trump has support of 45% of the party, the other 55% want him out. There really is no "undecideds" right now. She is forcing them to choose sides, and that will cement the divide in the party. The die hards will never leave him, but now that he holds no power to hurt them, many are speaking out. So the 45% will support him, the 55% wont. Most of the republicans supported him bceause they didn't want him to go against them....but now that he has no power over them, they know he cant hurt them......its oign to get very interesting in the next few months.

 

Ideally, Congress writes and passes legislation, then sends it to the President for a signature or a veto.

Writing EO's skirts Congress. That significantly thwarts the distribution of power between the three branches of government by removing the checks and balances established by our Founders to prevent a dictatorship and to keep the government "honest".

My distaste for EO's is not partisan. There routine use reflects a serious deterioration of our government's legitimacy.

 

True. Pelosi motivation is purely political strategy. It doesn't matter to her if she has almost single-handedly destroyed what was once a serious tool of government, turning impeachment into a "quickie" politicized weapon.

Not sure where you're getting your numbers, but I expect you are talking about support from elected Congressmen, not from Republican voters. Whose opinion counts more: elected officials or the voters whose interests they purport to represent?

I've seen different sources showing voter support for Trump is between 70%-90%. Need to look at details though. There is a difference between support for Trump, the man, and support for Trump's policies which drew in middle-America workers and expanded the GOP tent significantly.

Politics have gotten very interesting. Obama split the Democrat party between the Corporate Party and the Socialist Opposition Party, but it appears that the Corporate Party is still in control of the left wing. Trump split the Republican party between the Corporate Party and the Nationalists, but it looks like more voters on the right wing are favoring the Nationalist Opposition Party. The Corporate Party still holds when adding combined support for transitional RINO/DINO Elites. But the populist flanks are rising on both sides of The Corporatists. Those visible splits on both sides are owed to Obama and Trump.

 

Again, I reiterate, EOs do not bypass Congress because EOs only apply to powers held by the executive branch.

EOs are basically statement of executive intent by the commander in chief.

 

Yes. But lets at leaset be honest and admit that this strategy was invented and perfected by the right. Benghazi anyone ?

Trump is at 57% DISAPPROVAL rating. Thats those who disapprove of what he is doing, but likely voters is an even larger number of "nope"

I think more people voted for Trump, nit because of his polices, but because they wanted some to "shake up washington". They wanted something different than the same ol politicians playing the same old games. But as George Will very succinctly put it "when Trump call Biden, Sleep Joe. the electorate said....OK, we're ok with that over the chaos that we have today".

Washington is a corporatist town. The POTUS can profess to be one side or the other, but we all know they are owned, lock, stock, and barrel by corporations. Washington IS a corporatist town, and always will be. The only people who can change that are politicians, and they will NEVER bite the hand that feeds them. There is a reaso that senator who makes $180,000 a year, in 10 years worth tens of millions.......

Being a corporatist, and being a nationalist are not mutually exclusive. The co-exist in the political realm rather smoothly.
