Trump haters. You hate Trump and you want hate on him and remove him from office.

But, if you were President after Obama, what would you have done that would make you a better President than Trump?

I would have done the following things:
1. Passed tax reform that would raise taxes on the top few percent, drop taxes on the lower and middle class, and removed a significant number of tax breaks.
2. Continued a responsible environmental program instead of rolling back environmental protections such as the one designed to regulate depositing coal waste into streams and rivers.
3. Continued a responsible safety program instead of rolling back OSHA regulations that protect worker safety.
4. Appointed a Supreme Court justice in the mold of Breyer/Kagin/Sotomayor/Ginsburg
5. Appointed federal justices that are in the same mold of those mentioned in item 4.
6. Maintained our involvement in the Paris Climate Accord.
7. Maintained our involvement in NAFTA and the TPP.
8. Pushed for bipartisan immigration reform to include a path to citizenship.
9. Played no golf whatsoever, let alone on 1/3 of my days in office.
10. Stayed away from Twitter completely. It is only a distraction from governance.
11. Maintained the size of the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante National Monuments, and asked my Secretary of Interior to identify other wild areas worthy of protection.
12. Supported net neutrality.
13. Appointed an aggressive FEMA Manager who would prepare the agency to deal with the larger storms we will be having as a result of global climate change.
14. Maintained rules on federal infrastructure designed to address global climate change effects.
15. Appointed the best people to cabinet positions, regardless of party affiliation, including several prominent Republicans to key positions.
16. Strived to unite people, and be the president for the entire nation, not divide the nation.

There are more, but this should give you a pretty good idea of my focus.

@windinhishair I have to admit. You are the first person to actually offer a plan that you think would make you a better President than Trump.

I do not agree with you for the most part, but you are the first to actually answer the question.

@carsonfry Reasonable people can disagree, but at some point we have to get back to discussing policy that will advance our national interests. Hopefully once Trump is removed from office we'll get back to that, though it is going to take Congress to make it happen.
