there is a temporary halt to executive orders "until a process was established that included

the input of key officials outside the White House."
because of the immigration ban @#$% up.

Josh Rogin has a fascinating piece in the Washington Post today about the turmoil within the Trump administration over the immigration order issued last week. Much of this was due to the fact that no one outside the White House, including those who had to carry out the order, were part of the review process. The end result, apparently, was a temporary halt to executive orders "until a process was established that included the input of key officials outside the White House."

But it's worth putting this all in a timeline. Here it is, drawing from Rogin's article and a CNN summary.

1. It will be a process for trump to see that he isn't king

I expect him to kick and scream the entire way, but he will learn.

3. Yeah...but get this:

in the article, where the heads of Gov't had a 2 am conference call about this

Secretary of State designee Rex Tillerson, who had not yet been confirmed." was on the call. was not even part of the Gov. yet.

2. Looks like he's learning...

The president made a decision at that meeting {last Sunday} that, following the already scheduled rollout of a executive order on regulatory reforms, all other executive orders would be held up until a process was established that included the input of key officials outside the White House

4. In other words,

Trump just saw his ratings and freaked the fuck out.

Regardless, don't trust him and don't believe him.

5. Yep n/t

6. He's never had to follow any rules.

Laws are for little people.

7. It's worse than that.....

Even as child, he was such a bully and acted up so much at school, his father sent him away to military school.
and THAT did not dent his egomania at all.
This guy really was born with his mental problems, it seems.

8. Actual legal review might be a good idea too, for future reference.

Just saying.
