Rather than wait for his
administration to have been in office one hundred days, set as the benchmark of
a successful launch since FDR's New Deal, Donald Trump has amassed a record in
his first six days that is truly impressive.
One hundred days, at this pace, would be staggering.
Here's what he has done:
• Started process for approving Keystone and
Dakota Access Pipelin
• Revoked US support for the TPP
• Ordered a hiring freeze in the executive
branch
• Demanded that all politically appointed US
Ambassadors resign at once.
• Signed an Executive Order making federal
agencies interpret Obamacare regulations in the most flexible,
consumer-friendly, and broad way possible, setting the stage for repeal
• Ordered a moratorium on new federal
regulation
• Decided to meet British PM Theresa May to
deepen trade bonds with the U.K. in the wake of Brexit.
• Ordered the Commerce Department to formulate
"made in America" rules for all steel used on pipeline construction.
• Ordered a streamlined and expedited process
for approval of infrastructure projects
• Reappointed James Comey, perhaps signaling a
continuation of the Hillary investigation.
• Ordered an end to US aid to any international
agency that promotes or provides abortion services,
• Freeze grant-giving by the federal EPA.
Wow. What a record for six days (including
weekends). Any doubts that we have had
about Trump's focus, concentration, management skill, or knowledge of the
federal government should now have been set to rest.
And any doubt that he
has meant what he said when he told us he was a solid conservative with deep
red stripes running through his personal world view should erased as well. To sustain the pace he has set without
serious embarrassment or legal overreach is truly stunning and most
encouraging.
The news media won't
cover the avalanche of executive actions except in a negative context. For
them, the Trump Administration has been all about his claim that he lost the
popular vote because illegals voted and about his comparisons of his inaugural
crowds with Obama's. But these side
shows have nothing to do with the real Trump Agenda that just keeps ploughing
up Obama's misdeeds by the dozen.
