Do you agree with late great Libertarian Harry Browne that "Republicans campaign like Libertarians and govern like Democrats."?

I find this quote to be extremely accurate. Trump said he wasn't going to bomb Syria but then he turns around and does exactly what Crooked Hillary said she was going to do. he is as big of a war monger as Bush and Obama before him and I am sure he is going to sign massive debt into law when he signs his first budget.

    No. I loved Harry at the time but there is no way Democrats would do any of this:

    What have Trump and the GOP done so far? (as of 4/5/17)

    - Signed GOP law that repeals online privacy protections put in place by Obama, so now your ISP can sell ALL the information it has on you (including financial)

    - Okayed a widely-used pesticide that the EPA found too toxic

    - Allowed the killing of hibernating bears and other denning animals in their dens (happening now)

    - Okayed a wall being built between us and Mexico that will prevent the migration of endangered species, including big cats

    - Baselessly accused Obama of illegally wiretapping him.

    - Insulted the Australian Prime Minister, the British Prime Minister, the Australian Prime Minister, and the Mexican President

    - Signed HJR 38, which scraps an Obama admin. Environmental rule to protect our waterways from coal mining waste

    - Okayed two gas pipelines that put Americans at risk for no extra profit

    - Said he’d insist on US steel for the pipelines, then changed his mind

    - Defamed US intelligence agencies, preferring to get his news from Fox, Breitbart, Alex Jones

    - Overthrew our existing protection and okayed gun sales to the mentally disturbed

    - Given his family positions in the government – nepotism

    - Demanded passage of a health care bill he admitted would harm his own supporters

    - Signed an Energy EO that will likely prevent America from honoring its international commitments. It also reverses Obama’s efforts to tackle global warming, and no longer requires states to regulate power plants

    - Declared the media the “enemy of the American people”

    - Okayed a disastrous Yemen raid that killed one Navy seal, wounded two others, and killed 25 civilians including nine children under age 13, including a 3-month old baby – and benefitted ISIS/Al-Qaeda with a great recruiting tool

    - Lifted a ban on leasing federal land for coal production

    - Revoked two Obama-era regulations on teacher training and school accountability

    - Signed a resolution rolling back an Obama-era rule that gave the BLM power to conserve public lands

    - Tried unsuccessfully twice to go against our Constitution with what is clearly a Muslim ban

    - Signed an EO to weaken Dodd-Frank and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (which were to help protect against banks screwing us like they did before)

    - Signed an EO to strip federal grant money from so-called “sanctuary cities”

    - Signed a memorandum reviving a rule that prevents US funds from going to health charities around the world that give family planning counsel to women

    - Ordered a hiring freeze for federal workers except for military and certain security positions

    - Suspended a scheduled insurance rate cut for new homeowners which had been set by Obama

    So far not a single member of the Trump administration has been found to be secretly working for the United States.
