Did George Bush or Obama understand in great detail the consequences and intended usage of every law they make a decision about?

- MBCook 8y agoNo one can, the job is too big. But they have lots of advisors to help them understand that and recommend good policies. Also the policies are based on real issues in the law and attempt to correct them. Trump is a self-styled expert in everything (ESPECIALLY business) and doesn’t seem to like outside counsel if it contradicts him. I can’t think of much in the way of “spite laws” that Bush or Obama tried to push. There was the rattling over encryption, but that was about it. Trump has a very strong history going after anyone who disagrees with him or he thinks (correctly or not) makes him look bad. Those two factors combined make all the difference in the world to me.
- richardknop 8y agoNot sure why this is getting downvotes. Gave you +1. I think there hasn’t been a president yet who has at least rudimental understanding of tech and internet. We should be electing more leaders from tech or engineering background into governing positions otherwise people who have no idea how internet works will be making decisions about how to regulate it.
