4. Trump is nothing more than a tool

He's a compliant bill signer and bombastic public face for the party.

I legit wonder if he really knows even half of what's being done by "his" administration. He probably doesn't even read the text of the EO's he slaps his scrawl on.

What's scarier is that if it weren't Trump it might be someone like Pence or Cruz who would put a friendlier face on the same authoritarian BS.

ON EDIT: Personally, I think that's the angle Dems should take with him - that he's just a compliant tool for the Republicans. Nice gut punch to his ego.
