Question concerning ALL the terrible things that the PGIC is doing

Can the next administration undo all this damage as quickly as he has installed/created it?
Or will it realistically take years and years (maybe decades) to just get us back to where we were when the REAL president left office (Obama)?

the next president doesn't really need any other permission or approval to write his own executive orders restoring obama's or otherwise reversing or replacing donnie's.

however, the real damage may take years to repair. donnie can quickly fire or not replace people, but it can take years to rebuild the quality people, experience, and connections needed for government agencies to really be effective.

and some things might prove impossible to reverse. consider the embassy move to jerusalem. even if the next president moved it back to tel aviv, we can't really undo the further implications of donnie's actions. donnie's pissed off everyone except israel with that move, and reversing it might only then piss of the israelis without making anyone else feel any better about it.


reversing legislation would require effective majorities in both houses of congress in addition to the presidency, but fortunately donnie's proven rather ineffective on that front.

It might even be a good platform to run on!
