Trump accomplishments thus far
Only executive orders..
1. To say he will "seek repeal and replace". This is the extent of his first EO. Political obviously
2. To say how he may expedite environmental reviews of "high priority" infrastructure projects. ??
3. Strips federal money from Sanctuary Cities. Hiring of 10000 mor immigration officers and publish a list of crimes committed by undocumented immigrants. Needs congressional approval.
4. Building a wall on southern border. Needs congress approval for funding. Asks for 5000 more border patrol. Needs congressional approval.
5. This is the order on immigration which is held up by the court and which it appears Admin will do it again with the correct words and presentation.
6. Stops all executive branch folks from lobbying for five years after leaving office
7. When a new regulation is disseminated, at least two existing regulations should be removed
8. This is an order directing the Treasury to review and report back on whether we meet the core principals he outlined and see if they are legal.
9. Create a task force to propose new regulation to reduce crime, etc.
10. Proposes that congress pass new legislation to protect law enforcement and enact stricter punishment for crimes against.
11. Asks for progress reports on being stricter with drug cartels and gangs
12. Designates the order of succession in the Dept of Justice.
I did this in a general way but I think captured the essence of each order.
This is the sum total of what Trump has done, and I offer it not for criticism because I cant, but only to those who come on here and say he is fulfilling his promise.
Most of these are words. Congress will decide. They all sound good as he reads them but they are not accomplishing anything as of this writing.
I am not honestly criticizing him for anything, but no President could do all he promised and the posters on here who insist he is doing all this stuff are just wrong and misinformed. Again, I am not criticizing anything, but tired of hearing how he has done so much in a short time.
