Anyway, in reality he's only acting as 'regent' to President Bannon.

Not prefixing his title with "so-called" isn't anywhere near what you said - although the wording did make me .

'Putin's Fleshlight' is probably a more accurate title, anyway.

Bannon is the real President, Trump is the "so-called" President. Or did I get that the wrong way round?

It's Pence. Since he's VP right now, one might say he's just Biden his time ...

It's one of those case when people are thinking "Who's in charge around here?" This is where an Englishman mentions piss up in a brewery.

I can think of all sorts of realistic risks inherent in a Trump presidency, but "Making legal aliens all sell their houses" is not one of them.

I can envisage that the proposed repeal of the Dodd-Frank Act could create the conditions for a repeat of the 2008 real estate crisis, affecting citizens as much as non-citizens, but that's a very different situation.

Why make them sell? Just charge them a 45% ownership tax.
