A majority of voters\u00a0in a majority of\u00a0States elected\u00a0Donald Trump\u00a0to be\u00a0the 45th President of the United States. He won the votes in over 98% of the counties in America.. That is\u00a0why he sits behind the Lincoln Desk in the Oval Office and not Hillary Clinton. It wasn&#8217;t\u00a0 merely\u00a0by winning a plurality of votes in New York City and\u00a0&#8220;Lost Angeles&#8221; like\u00a0she did which is why she is not the President of the United States. A\u00a0landslide victory in two or three cities is not enough to sit\u00a0behind that desk, and it doesn&#8217;t matter\u00a0how many disgruntled liberalsr try to convince you otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>The President of the United States is the President of <strong><em>all<\/em><\/strong> <em><strong>the States\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>in America, not just two or three of them. This may come as a\u00a0shock to\u00a0some who try to tell you that\u00a0all you really have to do is win the popular vote.\u00a0The President\u00a0of the United States is the President of all the States\u00a0in spite of all the illegal aliens without proper documentation\u00a0or proof of citizenship who voted in the last Presidential election\u00a0 who claim\u00a0that Donald Trump isn&#8217;t &#8220;their&#8221; President&#8230;\u00a0They really don&#8217;t have anything\u00a0to say about it. They\u00a0don&#8217;t even belong\u00a0in our country\u00a0so who cares what they think?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump\u00a0is the President of the United States no matter how many dead Democrats\u00a0appeared to rise from the grave\u00a0on election day in Chicago, walk right into a voting booth\u00a0and pull the lever for Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump is\u00a0still our President no matter how many Harvard, Princeton,\u00a0or Yale\u00a0\u00a0graduates refused to vote for him.\u00a0To be\u00a0President\u00a0you have\u00a0to win a majority of votes in a majority of States. That&#8217;s what counts. It\u00a0does not matter how\u00a0loud\u00a0the\u00a0disgruntled\u00a0protesters are\u00a0in the streets. It does not matter\u00a0how many\u00a0effigies they burn of him or\u00a0how much private property they destroy in the process&#8230; On the other hand just because\u00a0Donald Trump sits in the Oval Office that does not\u00a0mean that will be allowed to exercise all the\u00a0duties and obligations\u00a0of his high office. The real people who\u00a0exercise power behind the scenes, who actually run\u00a0our country have decided not to allow him\u00a0to\u00a0do his job.\u00a0Average Americans\u00a0voted for\u00a0Donald Trump, but average Americans\u00a0have nothing to say about\u00a0whether\u00a0he will\u00a0actually be allowed to govern or not.<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump had a plan to\u00a0prevent\u00a0terrorists from\u00a0coming to America from countries that are classified by the State Department as havens for terrorism. It was\u00a0blocked by the Courts.\u00a0 When the United States Supreme Court overruled a lower Federal Court decision\u00a0other\u00a0liberal attorneys in Hawaii and Washington immediately filed suit once again\u00a0to blocked its implementation&#8230;\u00a0 This went on for months. Who ever heard of a Federal District Court blocking\u00a0a unanimous\u00a0decision of the United States Supreme Court?<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump still\u00a0has a plan to prevent illegal aliens from crossing our southern border. \u00a0It hasn&#8217;t been implemented yet. He wants to build a wall, but Congress won&#8217;t give him the money to build it so it hasn&#8217;t been built yet.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump wants to repeal and replace ObamaCare\u2026 Has\u00a0it been repealed or replaced?\u2026 Though\u00a0Congressional Republicans voted many times to repeal ObamaCare during the eight years\u00a0that \u00a0Barack Obama was President, they have not voted\u00a0even once successfully to repeal it now that Donald Trump\u00a0is in the White House. The only thing they did was get rid of\u00a0the individual mandate which required everybody to\u00a0buy a health insurance policy or pay a penalty.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Donald Trump wants to\u00a0prohibit\u00a0so called <em>\u201ctransgender people\u201d<\/em> from serving in the military. To serve in the armed forces you have to be mentally as well as physically fit. A man who thinks he is a woman is obviously not mentally fit so he should not be allowed to serve. This isn&#8217;t rocket science. \u00a0It&#8217;s just basic common sense. Has the President been able to implement\u00a0this\u00a0ban? \u00a0General Mattis,\u00a0his Secretary of Defense has refused to\u00a0enforce\u00a0the policy and that remains the case today.<\/p>\n<p>I am beginning to wonder if Donald Trump is really\u00a0our President? He tweets that we are done negotiating with North Korea over their provocative nuclear weapons testing. Meanwhile his\u00a0Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson assures the whole world that we stand ready to negotiate with the little dictator in North Korea\u2026\u00a0So who\u00a0really is in charge in Washington?\u2026 It doesn&#8217;t look like Donald Trump. Is he really our President, or is he really just the President in name only?<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/president-in-name-only\/\" data-send=\"false\" data-layout=\"standard\" data-width=\"450\" show_faces=\"false\" data-action=\"like\" data-font=\"\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"125\" height=\"70\" src=\"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Trump.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail-excerpt\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Trump.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Trump-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Trump-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Trump-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 125px) 100vw, 125px\" \/><p>The President of the United States of America is the President of all the States in our country, not just two or three of them regardless of how many liberal loons on the nightly news tell you differently,.. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":9881,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5,20],"tags":[635],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10097"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10097"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10097\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10735,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10097\/revisions\/10735"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10097"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10097"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10097"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
