The "Law and Order" Presidency is exactly the opposite. Has ANYONE mentioned a "mandate"?
He has no mandate. He lost the popular vote and the Dems PICKED UP seats in both houses of Congress. I've seen none of the normal discussion of mandates in the press. None.
This EO is clearly against the law (Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965 prohibits targeting specific countries) and is leading directly to disorder. This is just plan nuts.
The first week has been nothing but playing to he base "See! I did it!" Most of which he doesn't have the power to do or that will not stand up in court. Aside from what this means to us as a county, the GOP has a real problem - he is solidifying his base and with that can become a "king maker" in primaries. Do they buck him in Congress? What will that mean for their candidates in 2 years? Granted they have organization on their side (he doesn't - even his White House is in disarray) but one tweet from him and his tiny dark base could turn primaries.
