The Bush/Clinton family presidents and Bush III (Obama) I rate "barf-level" presidents. After a year of Trump, I put him in the same category:
".. Although Trump has relaxed some onerous federal regulations, we still have massive government intervention in the economy and society. And that’s not all. We still have a welfare state that Lyndon Johnson could only have dreamed of. We still have a warfare state that bombs, maims, and kills; makes terrorists, widows, and orphans; and enriches the military-industrial complex. We still have a war on drugs that ruins more lives than drugs themselves. We still live in a growing police state that is anything but a free society.
And now Trump has signed into a law a measure extending the NSA’s surveillance powers until 2023 and consolidating the FBI’s authority to search those communications without a warrant. As recently described by Judge Andrew Napolitano:
"During the past three weeks, Congress passed and President Donald Trump signed into law vast new powers for the NSA and the FBI to spy on innocent Americans and selectively to pass on to law enforcement the fruits of that spying.
Those fruits can now lawfully include all fiber-optic data transmitted to or in the United States, such as digital recordings of all landline and mobile telephone calls and copies in real time of all text messages and emails and banking, medical and legal records electronically stored or transmitted." .. "
You can't fix all this with tweaking policies and issuing Executive orders .. freedom is evaporating and no one cares .. until it is too late.
Politics can fix it, politics broke it.
