And make no mistake, he does have a mandate. Just winning an election is a mandate.
He won the Electoral vote, and that worked exactly as the founders designed it to. (As an aside, over twice as many Hillary electors turned out to be 'faithless' as Trump electors. Apparently that entire effort wasn't well thought out.)
Yeah, yeah, now comes the nattering nabobs yapping about the popular vote. To those I say, "Go read Federalist 68, the whole thing, not just the part that was cited by the activists in the aforementioned abortive effort."
Where does the mandate come from? Well, Trump carried 30 states. 60% of the nation as a Federal Republic. Not a number to sneeze at. But the real eye opener is that Trump carried 98.1% of all the counties in the United States. Hillary carried 1.9%. Now we're talking a real mandate, aren't we?
So what are the mandates?
1. Run the cockroaches out. ie. enforce immigration laws.
2. Shit can "ShuckNJiveCare"
3. Roll back the Executive Orders and over-reaching regulations.
4. And if he sticks to his list he's going to load the SCOTUS with conservative judges.
What else did he talk about? (Here is where I'd like to take bets on which moron is going to jump in with "make America Great again," as if campaign slogans are actual line item programs. But they will because they bought into the whole "Hope and Change" bull shit as an actual program.)
