The problem is that I don't actually have any faith that he himself will be attempting to push any legislation.

The GOP run House and Congress will push bills to stop Obamacare, to repeal marriage equality, to hamstring the EPA, to cut taxes for corporations and billionaires, to cut funding for education, to privatize social security, to overturn Roe v Wade, to further limit campaign funding restrictions and allow even MORE money in politics, etc.

And Trump isn't going to do a single thing to stop any of it. He's not veto-ing those bills.

And he's going to put justice on the Supreme Court that will go along with those GOP choices.

I've said all along that this goes so far beyond just the person sitting in the White House.
