Embedded Government

One theme that recurs with the current administration is how they like to portray themselves as victims .
This plays well with their base which also considers themselves victimized by the powers that be, apparently themselves.
Ignoring the theme of denied self entitlement, this administration faces the same checks and balances as every other administration has.
Government doesn't reboot itself when a new administration gets elected.  First we have 235 years of previous history where laws and the constitution guarantee certain behaviors by Government employees.
Some things can be changed by Executive Orders, but, that is limited by the division of powers.
To think anything about this is unique is of course part of their victim mentality.
The business of government is by its very nature a bureaucratic thing and it requires planning, hard work, and compromise, all areas not strong points with this group.
They think that they can push things through by public announcements and attacking this with different opinions
It has led to a lot of public bluster but few actual lasting changes.
Considering the  policies they tried to enact that's not the worst thing.
