Trump’s First Week: YUUUUUUGE

True to his word, President Donald Trump’s first seven days in office were historic, astonishing and deeply, deeply gratifying. With a flurry of bold executive orders, Trump continued to obliterate political norms, serving notice that the gaze of history won’t change who he is.

Here’s more liberally ripped and edited from a left-wing site:

Repeal Obamacare Order. Trump’s first executive order on Inauguration Day directed his agencies to do whatever they could, “to the maximum extent permitted by law,” to minimize the impact of Obamacare until it can be repealed. This sent a strong Day One message that the president is an enemy of Obamacare.

Denying cut in mortgage fees to credit unworthy. Trump also signed a Day One order blocking an Obama administration plan to cut mortgage fees for Federal Housing Administration borrowers, who have bad credit. Think sub prime crisis — all those bad loans we the American people had to insure. After less than a decade after a financial crisis fueled by Americans taking out mortgages they couldn’t afford, there’s certainly a case to be made against cutting fees for FHA buyers and potentially exposing the agency to greater losses.

Abandoning TPP: Another one of Trump’s early orders announced his intention to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, keeping promises he made while bashing free trade on the campaign trail.

Up Goes the Wall:  Trump wants to pay for his border wall with a 20 percent tax on all Mexican imports.  A new day in trade has already dawned.

The Federal Hiring Freeze: Trump also announced a freeze on new federal hires. His memorandum exempted the military and anyone deemed vital to national security or public safety, and it lasts only 90 days; in fact, a separate order a few days later called for the hiring of 10,000 new immigration officers and 5,000 Border Patrol agents. Trump did include language in his freeze memo directing his budget director to develop a long-term plan to shrink the federal workforce through attrition, which could have a longer-lasting impac

The Federal Rule Freeze: New presidents routinely instruct federal agencies to stop pending regulations until they can be reviewed; Trump’s instructions came via an Inauguration Day memo from chief of staff Reince Priebus. But the Obama administration knew it had to finalize its important rules before leaving town; in fact, it knew that any rule it failed to finish before June would be vulnerable to congressional intervention. So the more consequential Obama rules were already done. The Priebus memo could block Obama’s efforts to tighten regulation of pipelines and oil trains, put a bumblebee on the endangered species list, and reduce electricity use of walk-in coolers and several other appliances.

Defuding Abortions Overseas:  Banning overseas funding to groups that provide abortions or abortion referrals.

The Illegal-Voter Investigation: Trump  “will be asking for a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD.”

Green Light for Pipelines: On Tuesday, Trump signed a memorandum undoing Obama’s rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline, inviting a Canadian company to resubmit its application to the State Department. He also directed the Army Corps of Engineers to expedite the Dakota Access pipeline, after Obama had directed the Corps to investigate alternative routes away from an Indian reservation

Immigration: On Wednesday, Trump visited the Department of Homeland Security to sign two executive orders about immigration—more are coming soon—that felt like a real turning point. Much of the reaction focused on his long-promised demand for a border wall, which will depend on congressional funding, and his directive to gut federal grants to sanctuary cities that shield undocumented immigrants from deportation, which was vague and probably vulnerable to a court challenge. Citing an “unprecedented surge” of illegal immigration from the south—in fact, there has been no such surge-Trump also ordered the termination of “catch-and-release.” He is reportedly preparing new orders that will ban all refugees from war-torn Syria and put a hold on visas from seven other Muslim nations.

People who are say that Donald Trump is not a politician are wrong. He is the only politician we have seen for a long time.

My friend Alan S said, “What Donald Trump is exposing here and now with his actions, achievements and projected workload, is just how little his predecessors actually did, how entrenched they actually were, how useless they actually where and are before the people they are supposed to represent and how much of a self serving insincere game it was for them prior to him and this, or his Presidency. Barrack Obama should be feeling really embarrassed and exposed in light of his statements about, or with regard to one man, or the Presidential job is too big for one person and obviously not being able to do the President’s job, and as I said soon after, he would be proven wrong and I think he actually is and has been in a very short space of time indeed.”

“I also think this is another factor of the worry of the entrenched career politicians and that factor is Donald Trumps exposure of them and the current system they have quite happily all been feeding off as a career without any convictions of conscience or sincerity. In short, they have not been Governing the country for the people, moreover Governing it for themselves, their respective interests and personal agendas. Even Barrack Obama has apparently now set up his own, or their own “Foundation” in all probability after seeing how “well” the Clinton’s and their foundation has done. i.e A licence to cheat, lie steal, print money and circumvent the law when you are an ex President. He has been well trained and enlightened by the Clinton’s which is probably why, or one of the reasons he was so Pro Hillary Clinton. He needed, or wanted a “Friend” and ally in the White House.
