Has Trump been smoke screening the left

[ding]

Seems to me that Trump has the left and the media discussing things that are unimportant. Is he smoke screening the left?

President Trump may have said that Monday would be his first day actually on the job, but he's already taken a number of steps as commander-in-chief since his inauguration Friday.

Apart from giving his inaugural address—which sketched a departure from longstanding U.S. foreign policy—and attending the inaugural balls, Trump has made a few concrete moves as President.

Here's a quick look:

• Withdrew the United States from the Trans Pacific Partnership, a 12-nation trade deal he had heavily criticized as a candidate as not protecting American workers enough.

• Reinstated the so-called Mexico City policy, which bars federal money from going to foreign nonprofits which promote or perform abortions.

• Ordered a freeze on federal hiring other than for military, public safety and public health jobs.

• Reversed a planned cut on mortgage insurance for many first-time homebuyers.

• Ordered executive branch agencies to begin preparing for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, so far a mostly symbolic action that could be used to undermine the law's enforcement.

• Formally submitted his Cabinet nominations to the U.S. Senate, which has now confirmed Defense Secretary James Mattis and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, and signed a waiver for Mattis.

• Moved forward on the Dakota Access and Keystone XL oil pipelines.

• Kept FBI Director James Comey, who both he and Hillary Clinton criticized over his handling of her private email server, on the job.

• Named net neutrality critic Ajit Pai to lead the Federal Communications Commission.

• Spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by phone, signaling that a promise to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem won't be fulfilled immediately.

• Visited the CIA to mend fences after weeks of acrimony, and faced criticism after he talked about the media reporting on the size of his inauguration crowds.

• Made plans to meet British Prime Minister Theresa May as well as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.

Here’s Everything Donald Trump Has Done So Far as President

He's doing nothing but pleasing Goldman Sachs, just as they all do.

I don't know what you are talking about. You must be talking about your political and economic system. Mine wants to lift them up and ennoble them.

Sure, sure it does. Perhaps it will someday again. The last half century trajectory argues otherwise.

Your problem is that you believe that critical theory is critical thinking. It isn't it is the antithesis of critical thinking. You practice critical theory, not critical thinking.

Another lame as Fentom comment that adds nothing to the topic. Your posts are almost as tiresome and useless as Moonglow's.

Thanks, glad to hear we still think differently, I'd be terrified otherwise.

Well, first we need to convince them that your methods don't work and make the problem worse. I would have thought that 80 years of suffering would have been enough but it seems they need to learn things the hard way.

The reason they are doing that is they are a ONE TRICK PONY.

Isn't Don preaching about helping the common man? What's wrong? Why do working people need anything from Don's populism?

Did you just start putting random words together until they seemed like they made a semi-intelligent response? WTF are you talking about? What does the societal economic redistribution have to do with critical theory and critical thinking? Not a damn thing, that's what.

Karl, Jr., I guess.

A new one with some new terms to trick himself into believing he's not a budding Bolshevik.
