I think most of them expected him to not follow through on the stuff they didn't like (he is just talking, he isn't gonna do it), but follow through on all of the stuff they liked. It was a lot easier since he never had any concrete details for his plans, so people could just project onto them what they wanted.

Like how for a few months, people thought he was a secret liberal and was going to try to outflank Hillary on the left in the general election

Well even this ban wouldn't have resulted in even 10% the outrage if they'd done it like a normal functioning government and worked through how it would be enforced in advance and set a future date for enforecement, even if that future date was "effective right away for anybody who isn't already in transit". They overplayed their hand by including people already in the air and by not letting the impacted agencies know in advance.

Hillary would have tried to shoot down the Syrian air force because her advisors are about 2 years behind current events and caused a massive war by now.

Looks like the CIA Director has been added to the National Security Council.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/busi...m=.1f94f3fe5d52

quote:

2:25 p.m.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer says the director of the CIA will be added to the White House National Security Council.

Spicer says President Donald Trump has decided to amend his recent memo restructuring the council to add CIA Director Mike Pompeo to the top circle of national security advisers. The restructuring also added White House senior adviser Steve Bannon to the council’s principals committee, which includes the secretaries of state and defense.

Trump’s move also directed the director of national intelligence and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to attend only when “issues pertaining to their responsibilities and expertise are to be discussed.”

But Spicer says those individuals will be welcome to attend the meetings. He disputed that the reorganization was a significant change from past administrations.

Spicer just said a couple hours ago that the JCS is no longer compelled to come to meetings because they're not needed for domestic issues, and the CIA is supposed to only perform international espionage.
