Comparison is slightly different. Trump is doing EXACTLY what he said he would, that people who voted for him, want him to do. Which is kind of the opposite of not listening. Hes just not stopping and listening to people who violently opposite him.
that's weird. kind of sounds like Obama to me. Does what he said he would, pulls out of Iraq, pushes through Obamacare, picks up drone program to cut down on deaths, etc. Then 4 years go by and people start to realize you can't vote for intent you have to vote for results and process and some of the good aims result in bad outcomes.
its been 10 days, i think i'll wait until we actually see who's paying for the wall, what it does to the economy, whether obamacare gets repealed and replaced, whether the lobbying and bullshit in Washington actually gets cleaned up, whether less abortions happen, etc. before i say Trump's doing what he promised.
but you've also oversimplified or misunderstood what i meant. listening to the opposition, especially those who have issues with the specifics of a piece of legislation not the end goal of it, is what needs to be done to stop the cyclical change. but they wont do it, they'll keep playing on their side of the aisle.
