Candidate Trump Made A Lot Of Promises, Will President Trump Be Able To Deliver?
Jan 23, 2017 10:12:21 #
These are the things Candidate Trump promised to do on day one of his Presidency:
IMMIGRATION:
-Stop all federal funding to "sanctuary cities" - places where local officials don't arrest or detain immigrants living in the country illegally for federal authorities.
-Begin deporting what Trump estimates to be more than 2 million criminal i*****l i*******ts living in the country.
-Cancel visas for citizens of foreign countries that won't take those criminal i*****l i*******ts back.
-Immediately terminate former President Barack Obama's "two illegal executive amnesties." That presumably includes DACA, which protects people who were brought into the country illegally as children.
-Begin working on an "impenetrable physical wall" along the southern border.
-Ask Congress to pass "Kate's Law," which would increase penalties on people who unlawfully re-enter the United States after being removed.
SECURITY AND DEFENSE:
-Immediately suspend the Syrian refugee program.
-Convene his generals and inform them that they have 30 days to submit a new plan for defeating the Islamic State group.
-Suspend immigration from "terror-prone regions" where he says vetting is too difficult.
-Implement new "extreme" immigration vetting techniques.
TRADE:
-Announce his intention to renegotiate or withdraw from the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico.
-Formally withdraw from the 12-nation T***s-Pacific Partnership.
-Direct his treasury secretary to label China a currency manipulator.
DRAINING THE SWAMP and GOVERNMENT REFORM:
-Propose a Constitutional amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress.
-Ban White House and congressional officials from becoming lobbyists for five years after they leave the government.
-Ban former White House officials from lobbying on behalf of foreign governments for the rest of their lives.
-Ban foreign lobbyists from raising money for U.S. e******ns.
-Impose a hiring freeze on federal employees, excluding military, public safety and public health staff.
-Impose a requirement that for every new federal regulation imposed, two existing regulations be eliminated.
ENERGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT:
-Remove any Obama-era roadblocks to energy projects such as the Keystone XL pipeline.
-Lift restrictions on mining coal and drilling for oil and natural gas.
-Cancel payments to the U.N.'s c*****e c****e programs and use the money to fix America's water and environmental infrastructure.
HEALTH CARE, GUN CONTROL AND OTHER ISSUES:
-Cancel "every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama."
-Ask Congress to send him a bill to repeal and replace Obama's signature health care law.
-Begin the process of selecting a new Supreme Court justice.
-Get rid of gun-free zones in schools and on military bases.
After a day like that, I imagine day 2 will include a lot of rest.

I'm not sure he promised to do all that on day one. That's a pretty ambitious agenda. But I'm all for everything on that list.
Then after that start drug testing welfare recipients.
I was a die-hard Ted Cruz supporter but v**ed Trump in the general. Being from California, my v**ed was buried under millions more v**es for Hillary. But I'm overall very pleased with what Trump's done so far.

He didn't promise all that at once but over the course of his campaign, he said he'd do all these things "on day one". I think we could probably cut him a little slack and maybe let him have a couple of days to get it all done. Maybe even give him 10 minutes for lunch.

No question about it, trump is keeping his promises, but not to you... Look forward to much more of this..
Soon after Donald Trump was sworn in as president, his administration undid one of Barack Obama’s last-minute economic-policy actions: a mortgage-fee cut under a government program that’s popular with first-time home buyers and low-income borrowers.
The new administration on Friday said it’s canceling a reduction in the Federal Housing Administration’s annual fee for most borrowers. The cut would have reduced the annual premium for someone borrowing $200,000 by $500 in the first year.
