I didn’t vote for Trump or the idiot (and please why can’t people admit that she is an idiot?), but there are several things that he has done in his first month that I agree with.

There are three executive orders (EO’s) that Trump has signed that are worthy of support by everyone across the moderate political spectrum  

The first of these EO’s recognizes that open borders are politically unacceptable and that the age of mass migration is over. Importing millions of people who will work for next to nothing just to be here destroys the wages of working class Americans and drives up housing costs when we can't house our own citizens. People cannot overpopulate their home country and just expect to move to greener pastures. There are no more green pastures. They need to voluntarily reduce their own country's population to an environmentally sustainable level, stay home and work there to improve their living conditions. 

His second important EO addresses the insanity of gender identity which denies the reality of human sexuality and results in men invading women’s sports, restrooms, locker rooms and prisons. Women need and are entitled to privacy from men. Even more diabolical is the mutilation of innocent children (many who would grow up gay) in pursuit of the impossible because you can’t change your birth sex. 

Finally his EO that corrects the craziness of DEI which discriminates against whites, Asians and men in attempting to cure past discrimination against others is absolutely the correct approach. Who could believe that creating a new privileged class and a new discriminated against class would provide a solution to the problem? Not to mention that it’s clearly unconstitutional.

It would well serve both Democrats and independents to get behind these changes even as they choose to vigorously oppose other aspects of his agenda.

It's a terrible feature of modern political discourse: modern tribal affiliations cause people to oppose good ideas, because they're proposed by 'the other' side... and support disastrous ideas, because they're proposed by 'their' side.

There are psychopaths and hateful actors and fools and leeches spread throughout the political landscape. We should all recognize that the best way to assess ideas and policies is on their merits. Just because you support the idea of public education (for example) doesn't mean that teachers' unions are your friend.

If voters applied this heuristic we'd have a better society altogether.
