The congress and the federal courts serve to check the president?s power, and they?ve done so with several things Trump has tried to do. Most of what he is trying to do is standard-issue Republican Party ideology. Half the country identifies as conservative Republicans, so it was just a matter of time before they elected a Republican president who would try to implement that ideology. If it wasn?t Trump, it would be someone else doing it. A lot of people here are hoping Trump will be impeached and removed from office. What they forget it that Trump?s removal won?t put Hillary Clinton into the Oval Office. The Vice-President gets the job. Mike Pence is a FAR bigger son of a bitch than Trump, but he is an experienced politician so he knows how to look like a responsible statesman. Don?t judge a book by its cover; looks can be deceiving. Pence was my state?s governor before he became Vice-President, and before he was governor, he was a congressman from Indiana. We Hoosiers know all about him, and trust me on this: He?s worse than Trump. Trump is just a clown; Pence is a religious nutcase and a lapdog of big business, and unlike Trump he has a well-planned and thought-out ideology that he will work hard to implement if he becomes President. If Pence had his way, Homosexuals would be executed, the poor would be left to starve in the streets, the working class would be reduced to slavery, and fundamentalist Christianity would be the official and only permitted religion. I don?t like Trump, but this is a free country and he won the election in accordance with our constitution. In a few years, we can throw him out. As a photographer, Trump is kind of a gift from God. I wish I could have had the money to go photograph some of the big protests against him. The election campaign itself was a gold mine for a documentary photographer like me! The decline of the USA began with Reagan?s election nearly 40 yrs ago. Every president since then, republican AND democrat, has followed the script. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Like My Work on Facebook On 7/10/17, 7:35 AM, "LUG on behalf of Douglas Barry" <lug-bounces+chris=chriscrawfordphoto.com at leica-users.org on behalf of imra at iol.ie> wrote: >Elegaic, Chris.
