He designated Feb as Heart month.
And so so much more.
Thank you so much for the question. I wish I had more time to talk with you.
It's entirely possible that this is one of the worst posts in this history of this website.
The 227K jobs run through January 12th, which is more than a full week before he even took office. (This is what happens when one stupidly gets their information from FoxNews and Breitbart). In reality, he's been in office for over three weeks and hasn't spent five seconds on jobs, the economy, or taxes. I'm sure the Rust Belt people who voted for him based on their moronic belief that he was going to create a plethora of manufacturing and coal mining jobs are very happy.
His EO's are anything but "momentous"; most of the things he signs are likely stuff he doesn't understand, masterminded by white supremacist Steve Bannon. The repeal of Obamacare is laughable, considering that Republicans don't even have a remote clue what to replace it with. The wall won't be built for years, if at all, and Mexico isn't paying for it. The refugee thing? You've already seen what's happened with it in the 9th Circuit, what will happen in SCOTUS, and the backlash it's caused.
His staff had several people barely get through confirmation proceedings that are usually automatic. It's filled with a bunch of unqualified, regressive, anti-LGBTQ people hated by the majority of the American public. DeVos can't even manage to successfully walk into a school without getting blocked.
Opinion of Gorsuch depends on what side of the ideological aisle you're on. At best, all he ends up being is a replacement for Scalia, which means you get back to the 5-4 edge you already had, after leaving the seat open for almost a year and a half.
