Trumps executive orders thus far
Three orders establishing three Department of Justice task forces to fight drug cartels, reduce violent crime and reduce attacks against police.
I agree with this
An order directing the Treasury secretary to review the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial regulatory law.
I'm torn on this one, the law has it's positives and his draw backs
A memorandum instructing the Labor Department to delay implementing an Obama rule requiring financial professionals who are giving advice on retirement, and who charge commissions, to put their client's interests first.
I agree, it sounds like a good idea but the wording allows for people to be taken advantage of in other ways.
An order instructing agencies that whenever they introduce a regulation, they must first abolish two others.
I don't care, it's pointless imo
A memorandum to restructure the National Security Council and the Homeland Security Council.
I agree, it's needed
A memorandum directing the Secretary of Defense to draw up a plan within 30 days to defeat ISIS.
Nothing wrong with that besides the fact Obama and Hillary created the damn organization
An order to lengthen the ban on administration officials working as lobbyists. There is now a 5 year-ban on officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government, and a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government.
One of my favourite things he's done
An executive order imposing a 120-day suspension of the refugee program and a 90-day ban on travel to the U.S. from citizens of seven terror hot spots: Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Sudan.
I don't have a problem with it, it's a temporary ban while they figure some things out
Two multi-pronged orders on border security and immigration enforcement including: the authorization of a U.S.-Mexico border wall; the stripping of federal grant money to sanctuary cities; hiring 5,000 more Border Patrol agents; ending “catch-and-release” policies for illegal immigrants; and reinstating local and state immigration enforcement partnerships.
This wall was proposed by Bill Clinton originally and nobody said anything besides positive statements when he proposed it. There are approximately 3.7 million unlawful immigrant households in the U.S. These households impose a net fiscal burden of around $54.5 billion per year. It's about time someone got this shit under control.
A memorandum calling for a 30-day review of military readiness.
Support it
Two orders reviving the Keystone XL pipeline and Dakota Access pipelines. He also signed three other related orders that would: expedite the environmental permitting process for infrastructure projects related to the pipelines; direct the Commerce Department to streamline the manufacturing permitting process; and give the Commerce Department 180 days to maximize the use of U.S. steel in the pipeline.
My favourite thing he's done thus far. Pipelines are the safest way to transport oil by far. Warren Buffett owns the vast majority of rail cars transporting oil in the USA and he has payed hundreds of millions of dollars to protesters and groups to try and stop these two pipelines. Also this greatly helps my home province of Alberta when the Canadian Government is purposely trying to destroy western Canada.
An order to reinstate the so-called "Mexico City Policy" – a ban on federal funds to international groups that perform abortions or lobby to legalize or promote abortion. The policy was instituted in 1984 by President Reagan, but has gone into and out of effect depending on the party in power in the White House.
The one and only thing he has done I strongly disagree on. Abortions should be a woman right as it is her body.
A notice that the U.S. will begin withdrawing from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. Trump called the order "a great thing for the American worker."
I agree
An order imposing a hiring freeze for some federal government workers as a way to shrink the size of government. This excludes the military, as Trump noted at the signing.
Fuck yes
An order that directs federal agencies to ease the “regulatory burdens” of ObamaCare. It orders agencies to “waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation of any provision or requirement” of ObamaCare that imposes a “fiscal burden on any State or a cost, fee, tax, penalty, or regulatory burden on individuals, families, healthcare providers, health insurers, patients, recipients of healthcare services, purchasers of health insurance, or makers of medical devices, products, or medications.”
Agree with this, Obamacare has been ill-received by my US family members and friends that I have talked to, so I base it off of that for the most part
