Today, President-elect Donald Trump publish a 2-3 minute video detailing the executive actions he has planned in the first 100 days of his term.
Specific items addressed were:
1) CLEARLY stated that these are executive actions - which means he will use his executive authority to implement these items. (0:51 seconds)
2) Announced his intention to withdraw from Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations, and committed to unilateral trade agreements that will benefit the American worker. (1:02)
3) Committed to cancel government restrictions on production of American energy - to include shale oil and clean coal. (1:11)
4) Establish a new policy that for every 1 new regulation published, two old ones must be eliminated (1:29)
5) Direct DoD to define a comprehensive plan to protect against cyber attacks, and other attacks, against vital national infrastructure (1:41)
6) Direct the Department of Labor to investigate all abuses of visas that negatively impact the American worker. (1:55)
7) Establish a policy that government executives are banned from lobbying for a period of 5 years after leaving office, and banned lifetime from lobbying for a foreign government. (2:04)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I feel it is necessary to stress these are "executive actions" - things the President can do without Congressional approval or cooperation.
Liberal news outlets have already attacked Trump for ignoring his core campaign promises - such as, Obamacare repeal, the southern Wall, etc., all of which will require Congressional involvement.
Of course, they choose not to address what he actually said, but only what he didn't say.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also found his method of delivery interesting - using social media to come straight to the American people, rather than releasing it to the mainstream media and allowing them to distort the actual message. Sounds to me like war has been declared.
