      If he actually tried something instead of just wagging his finger to say stop it, people wouldn’t be so pissed. Don’t piss on people and tell them it’s raining.

        And what exactly would you have him try?

        Maybe some regulation from the agencies that I’ve been captured by lobbyists and corporate interests?

        Maybe enforcement of current laws before they were gutted by Congress?

          Call people out. Name names. Use the bully pulpit. This feeble wagging your finger shit is how trump gets a second term.
