>>That's absolutely not true.

I note that you ignore the schoolbook example of hypocrisy. As for kids in charge- that was his initial plan, but nothing is concrete yet. All I see is people poised to criticize no matter what happens.

FWIW, the whole conflict of interest examination is voluntary for POTUS. Uniquely. Trump is correct when he says "The law’s totally on my side, the president can’t have a conflict of interest." Nevertheless he's voluntarily separating his business interests. Cue cautious approval from the neutral MSM? Of course not, doesn't match the narrative.

The truth is that Trump has far more business interests even compared to Antipodean Prime Ministers, both of whom are 1% megamillionaires and it won't be easy for him to separate. With the attitude of critics, who can blame Trump if he shrugs and says "you won't be happy no matter what I do, so it's all too difficult and distracting and I'll please myself." That's what adults know to expect elsewhere in life if they're constantly poking sticks at the tiger.

>>Right, he's written a script for manufacturers across the country to hold up the government for favors. I think Republicans were supposed to be the ones opposed to the government choosing winners and losers.

Yep, every silver lining has a cloud. Jobs have hemorrhaged out of the USA leaving entrenched unemployment and when a politician finally, FINALLY acts rather than just spouting platitudes- boo, negative narrative from the left. Fact is that you don't know what was involved, all you know is a hostile negative narrative. Which is boring to everybody else and people are switching off. You'll see.

Also I note that you ignore the false Anti-Semitic slurs that are withdrawn without matching fanfare by the "fair and balanced" MSM. Seems to me that Trump is being very mature and restrained in the face of constant provocation. The trouble for provocateurs is that once he starts ignoring them, they've lost relevance forever.

>>The facts haven't changed. This is setting up to be the most corrupt administration in living memory...

Oh, come on. You're praying for the plane to crash- and the lesson just learned ought to be that just because you fervently want something, doesn't make it so. Where's the beef?

>>It's also setting up to be incredibly conservative, far beyond any mandate he might have, given that he lost the popular vote and got a narrow Electoral College victory.

That's sore-loser talk. Popular vote is a quaint irrelevance in the POTUS vote, just as popular vote is irrelevant to control of Congress- it's broken down by states and representative numbers, not total national votes. Fact is that Trump won and now is the President even for people marching back and forth chanting "Not My President." Er, yes he is. Welcome to the Republic where the national vote for POTUS isn't like a Democrat Primary where the result can be fixed to benefit the anointed candidate. Not yet, anyway.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
