    What a breadth of fresh air to have decisions and policies out in front of cameras. No hidden deals, no secret agreements, etc.., that we've been subjected to for a long while now. Let's hope it lasts even for policies we may disagree with.

    Shutting down the Department of interior tweets isn't transparency. Media blackout at EPA isn't transparency. It's actually a step backwards from a predecessor who didn't have transparency as his strongpoint.

    I'm taking a wait and see on the twitter shutdown of the EPA, not sure what that is all about just yet but I'm watching carefully. That said, you won't admit that all of the executive actions(agree or disagree) and all of the meetings have been in front of the cameras?

    Trump's a showman and in this case I think that really helps with transparency.

    LOLOLOLOL.

    I think the OP is serious....

    I mean Trump is having his son run his blind trust..... I guess Trump is transparent about his conflicts of interests.

    Would you say that Trump's career is one of a honest showman or BS showman?

    Yeah, he's done his executive orders and they've been made public. I don't know that any president has tried to have secretive executive orders though.

    Trump lies, nothing he says can be trusted, he lies about everything, how refreshing to have a liar in that position.

    He is a scumbag.

    Both because his business/properties are real assets, not fake in anyway, but he's done them in a PT Barnum style of leadership and promotion.
    Not secret but not in front of the cameras so willingly. That doesn't mean they were hiding anything necessarily with executive orders but I think it's great we've got more access so far. Also, consider so far he's announced the day/night before what's on the docket for the next morning when cameras are rolling. I think that's good.

    He doesn't own any of those, they are leveraged - the banks own them.

    Most Presidents have done this - I would settle for him just not whining about people making fun of him, and he actually act like a man, and stop lying....

    Oh, and maybe open a door for his wife now and again so he doesn't look like a prick.

    I agree that it's good to make his actions public. I hope that continues.

    Like tax returns he said he was going to release during his campaign?

    Like tax returns he said he was going to release when he won?

    Like the tax returns he no longer feels he needs to release?





    You aren't this stupid. Do you think Kim Jong is transparent as well? Not that the two are fully equatable, but Trump's recent onset of propaganda giving Kim a run for his money.

    I guess the fact that he owns shares in the Dakota Pipeline and is now going to sign an executive order to have it built...thus enriching himself and being an Impeachable offense is transparent.

    So, what happened to all the whining about Obama and all his executive orders?

    Hypocricy abounds.
