Have you seen his tax plan? There is nothing liberal or beneficial to the common man in it.

He has been pushing turtleneck Mcconnel to remove the 60 filibuster rule. Mcconnel is stubbornly refusing and saying that not doing anything is democracy in action. trump gave him a giant FU-if repubs don't do anything, midterms will be bad. This is how you negotiate-deal with what is given and play chess and see where it falls.
I mean even low level office politicians know this. but carry on-it is becoming comical.

He's the president America deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our president. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.
This is not the President you thought...

Extending the debt ceiling for 3 months and a storm aid package is a major piece of legislation? Are you kidding me? It's a very minor piece of legislation that under any other president would have been a nothingburger.
Quigley says
You do know that presidents don't pass bills? Congress passes bills. Presidents can only approve bills by signing them or disapprove bills by vetoing them. There aren't going to be any liberal bills passed by this congress for trump to be amenable to approving even if that remote possibility existed. So this statement is utterly meaningless.
Since actions speak louder than words do you want to comment on how amenable to liberals to benefit the common people the executive orders and cabinet actions so far have been? I didn't think so.
Trump just reached a deal with Congress to pass his first major piece of legislation.

There has never been a more amenable POTUS to passing liberal bills which benefit the common people.

I agree completely. This counts as a win lately, because of the complete absence of winning these days. But you cannot call it a major win. Kicking the debt ceiling fiasco down the road 3 months is definitely the very least of what is expected. Harvey relief at some level is expected. Legislatively, it's an easy win for three reasons: (1) because with Irma bearing down, another swath of the country is in need (2) the typical opponents (e.g. Cruz-cakes) and their people are the ones effected (3) Rs are in power, so they can't each try to vote against D spending without actually stopping it.
Trump has been signaling since the beginning that he is willing to work with Democrats to craft legislation that will benefit Americans. This is just the first time the Congressional Democrats pulled their heads out of their donkeys long enough to see what has been obvious all along.I can't believe no one has called this out yet. It has to be one of the most out there thing's I've read on this board in a week (I have 10pdbass on ignore). Trump spent the first 8 months trying to encourage Rs to band together and ram partisan legislation through. His reach out to Shumer/Pelosi is probably an F U to Rs as much as it was a signal of more to come. He's still trying to threaten Republicans into action. The whip is his best friend, but with his ever shrinking popularity, his whip is getting as impotent as his 70 yr old schlong.

Too funny that the lead on harvey relief package is cruz who voted down sandy relief and his followers applaud it.

Trump has been signaling since the beginning that he is willing to work with Democrats to craft legislation that will benefit Americans. This is just the first time the Congressional Democrats pulled their heads out of their donkeys long enough to see what has been obvious all along. They have, if not a friend, then at least a possible co-conspirator in the White House, who is eager to sign bills the moderate middle wants anyway.
I said this from the beginning! Trump's biggest obstacles are going to come from his own party and the entrenched globalist oligarchy.
All of you liberals who've been giving hand-wringing Jeremiads about how the Trump Presidency was going to usher in the end of America have got it all wrong. There has never been a more amenable POTUS to passing liberal bills which benefit the common people.
This is how we MAGA.
