When Barack Obama was president he signed a few executive orders. Conservatives went ape, accusing him of being a dictator, carrying protest signs showing a Hitler mustache on Obama’s face, and demanding his removal from office for over-using executive orders. Now look what we have with Trump. In a few days he signed dozens of massive, sweeping executive orders that seem to ignore the Constitution, Congress, the will of the people and the rule of law. I don’t see many conservatives protesting his use of executive orders.

Also, it seems very obvious to me why Trump didn’t put his hand on a Bible when he took the Oath of Office. Afraid of Hell?
