Trump's entire presidency is built on smoke and mirrors. [View all]

Everything he does is so superficial that, in six or so months, it'll be rolled back by, hopefully, Joe Biden. It's all show. Trump, above everything, is just a cheap showman and nothing else. His EOs today? Toothless. Just like his EO on pre-existing conditions. It's all done to create the illusion of relief, the media headline, hoping he can con dumb people into believing it.

In terms of actual, long-term legislative accomplishment, Trump is going to have a stinker of a presidency for this very reason.
