Trump’s plan for first 100 days in office

Those meetings, which lasted a little more than an hour with Ryan and little less than an hour with McConnell, were an opportunity for GOP congressional leaders to clear the air with Trump and try to get on the same page.

WASHINGTON (AP) – President-elect Donald Trump shook up his transition team Friday as he plunged into the work of setting up his administration, elevating Vice President-elect Mike Pence to head the operations. President Barack Obama meets with President-elect Donald Trump in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, Thursday, Nov. 10, 2016.

That would certainly be the best-case scenario for congressional Republicans. He noted that all of those entering the United States from other countries should undergo what he calls “extreme vetting”. It will take painstaking and potentially lengthy negotiations to come up with a solution.

House Speaker Paul Ryan stated that seeing that Trump won the election, the House of Representatives would prepare to “hit the ground running”.

Then there’s immigration. Republicans have slow-walked policies like border security since the days of George W. Bush-when the GOP controlled both Congress and the White House.

Donald Trump’s natural disaster of a victory shook no place harder than the nation’s capital, where the real estate mogul’s stunning electoral triumph will usher in at least two years of unified GOP rule for the first time since 2007. Trump’s visible disagreements within his party during the campaign could end up with Congress fighting him on issues.

And on Thursday there was no sign of strain.

One of those things could be infrastructure spending, which Trump promised in his victory speech. Trump is also likely to repeal federal policies expanding family leave, labor rights, overtime pay, etc.

“A lot of really great priorities”. “It will be tough for a while to come but come January, I’m going to show up, ready to work with a new president when the things he proposes are good for CT and I’m going to be there to fight him when I think the things he’s pushing are bad for the people that I, that we, represent”.

“Whether it’s health care or immigration, we’re going to be working on that very rapidly”, Trump said following his lunch with Ryan.

He said, “Going back to the beginning of this country, we had a pretty open ability to complain about whatever you want to, and it’s about as American as Apple Pie”.

As for specifics, there were none.

Nullifying other key Obama accomplishments might not be as easy as Trump made it sound on the campaign trail. A unified Republican Congress, theorized Cornell Law School professor Josh Chafetz, could “be able to pass legislation that would then be presented to Trump in take-it-or-leave-it form”. McConnell did not discuss whether reconciliation would be used, though it would be necessary to get the bill passed a Democratic filibuster. Trump needs somebody that can unite the Republican caucus and move things through. Here’s what one can expect from the “Donald Trump’s Contract With The American Voter”.

Withdrawing from an global commitment such as the Iran nuclear deal, which Trump said he would “rip up”, or the Paris agreement on climate change would be more complicated, owing to those being multilateral agreements. That means Trump will need to work with Democrats. He’s also vowed to build a wall along the U.S. -Mexico border. At the top of the list is to “cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama”.

“The big question is trade”.

“On Tuesday, America demanded disruption”, said Sen. Pat McCrory in North Carolina, who may have lost his bid for re-election.

Sherman reported that the choice to favor CNN was a source of consternation within the campaign, but it obviously paid dividends later when Trump needed to pressure Fox News to back off its harsh coverage. He just wants trade bills where he feels we get an equal shake. Also, Trump intends on preventing foreign lobbyists from raising money for fueling American elections.
