Is Donald Trump Already The President?

Pence and  Trump

President-elect Trump has spent the month since his election victory engaging in some distinctly presidential-style behavior, including engaging with businesses on behalf of the American people, conducting a bit of foreign policy, and delivering sweeping public addresses — all before he holds the authority of the presidency.

With weeks to go until he takes office, Trump’s moves have tested the limits of his unofficial powers as the president-in-waiting. And although his activism has drawn scrutiny from detractors, his favorability ratingshave hit new heights on the heels of several high-profile successes.

“I don’t think it’s normal for a president-elect to be out and about like this, but this is the era of Trump, and he is literally rewriting the rules,” said Ford O’Connell, a Republican strategist.

“Things always change when you actually are sworn in, but at the same time, he is taking advantage of this and throwing his weight around while he’s got the momentum,” O’Connell added.

Rudy Giuliani on What to Blame for NYPD Deaths: ‘4 Months of Propaganda, Starting With the President’

By Jennifer Van Laar (31 mins ago) | Culture, Headlines, Nation, Politics

Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani appeared on this week’s Fox News Sunday, lambasting leaders who have “embraced” anti-police protesters. This atmosphere, he believes, directly led to Saturday’s murders of two NYPD officers.

“We’ve had four months of propaganda, starting with the president, that everybody should hate the police. I don’t care how you want to describe it, that’s what those protests are all about. The protests are being embraced; the protests are being encouraged.

Even the ones that don’t lead to violence…all lead to a conclusion that police is bad, police are racist, that is completely wrong.”

One rallying cry of the protesters has been “Black Lives Matter.” Giuliani agrees, and points out the people he believes are responsible for helping that community.

“Actually, the people who do the most for the black community in America are the police–New York City and elsewhere. They are the ones–not the Al Sharptons–they are the ones who are putting their lives on the line to save black children.”

President Obama acknowledged in his statement condemning the NYPD murders that it’s time to reject words that harm and, instead, look for ways to heal.
