Ok, TRUMPITES. Here's a little scorecard for you. Let's see exactly what the Blowhard Idiot ACTUALLY accomplishes on "Day One"
Immigration
He said during an August campaign rally in Phoenix that he would direct immigration enforcement authorities to deport convicted criminals living in the U.S. illegally, a group he has said numbers 2 million.
“We will begin moving them out day one,” he said.
Trump could also do away with Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which more than 700,000 young undocumented immigrants have used to live and work in the U.S. without fear of deportation.
Environment
Trump has promised to approve the Dakota Access and Keystone XL pipelines on his first day in office.
And to cancel any climate-related payments to the United Nations
And to lift moratoriums on new leases for coal mines on federal land in the West.
And eliminate new regulations on mountaintop mining out East.
And reverse requirements for government officials to consider climate change and other environmental effects when approving oil and gas projects.
And eliminate Obama’s executive actions requiring federal agencies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for the effects of climate change.
And he could also remove solar panels at the White House and on military bases.
Lobbying
Trump could enact his proposed lobbying ban on day one to prevent anyone who accepts a political appointment in the Trump administration from registering as a lobbyist within five years of leaving office.
And he could make appointees permanently barred from lobbying for foreign governments.
Trade
After his election, Trump promised on DAY ONE to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which he called a “potential disaster for our country.”
AND he could also move forward with his plan to renegotiate or withdraw from the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico (NAFTA).
Both steps are within Trump’s power to take alone.
Healthcare
Trump could allow people to keep cheap plans that otherwise might not qualify for inclusion under the law and render the penalty for not having coverage void.
AND He could also reverse the requirement that insurers cover contraception, which would be viewed as a major victory for religious conservatives.
AND Trump could reverse one of Obama’s executive orders that barred states from withholding federal funds from Planned Parenthood.
Those last two…THAT IS WHAT THE RIGHT WING WANTS MORE THAN ANYTHING!
Trump has pledged to take sweeping, unilateral actions on Jan. 20 to roll back President Obama’s policies.
