Make America Great Again Obama Plans
What now? Caryatid yourself.
At the end of October in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump laid out what his campaign called a "100-solar day plan to Make America Great Again."
The plan (pdf) came on top of multiple promises Trump made on the campaign trail about what he would do on his "first day in part." Taken together, these vows stand for a right-wing agenda that includes:
- removing "more than two one thousand thousand criminal illegal immigrants from the country;"
- canceling "every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum, and order issued past President Obama;"
- suspending immigration "from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur;"
- repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Human activity;
- allowing the Keystone XL pipeline to move forward;
- lifting restrictions on fossil fuel product;
- selecting a Supreme Court nominee in the mold of the belatedly Justice Antonin Scalia;
- canceling "billions in payments to U.N. climatic change programs;"
- establishing "a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated;" and
- ending federal funding for sanctuary cities.
"This is life in the early days of a Trump presidency: economical shock, international instability, and constitutional crunch equally Trump makes the presidency his plaything," Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank wrote final week.
Some of Trump's plans, including the infamous border wall with Mexico, may hit some roadblocks. Simply with the GOP retaining control of both the Business firm and the Senate—and Trump's potential cabinet picks comprised of bourgeois darlings from Rudy Giuliani to Sarah Palin—the path for implementation for many of these calendar items is articulate.
As John Nichols wrote on Wednesday for The Nation:
Make no mistake, Trump now leads the Republican Political party. And that party has in recent years developed an arroyo to power. When it does not control the executive branch, the GOP obstructs the Democrat who is in accuse. When information technology has the executive and legislative branches in its grip, the GOP acts. Quickly.
Despite the whining of "Never Trump" conservatives who griped that the Republican nominee was politically impure, Trump accepted the nomination of a socially and economically conservative party that spelled out its agenda in a platform that People for the American Mode'due south "Correct-Wing Watch" recognized as a more than farthermost version of the political party's previous programs: "a far-correct fever dream, a compilation of pouting, posturing, and policies to meet just about every need from the overlapping Religious Right, Tea Party, corporate, and neo-bourgeois wings of the GOP."
[Newt] Gingrich correctly noted that the platform on which Trump was elected outlines an ambitious anti-labor agenda that parallels the worst of what Walker and other members of the GOP's "Form of 2010" implemented in the first months of their tenures. The new president has criticized minimum-wage laws and supported anti-wedlock "right-to-piece of work" laws. Only fools would doubt that his fiercely anti-labor vice presidential running mate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, will hesitate to implement the agenda (as a defining actor on domestic policy) just as quickly as did Walker. Nor should they doubt whatsoever of the other outlandish and extreme commitments made by Trump during what the new president described in his victory oral communication as a "nasty" and "tough" campaign. Trump will have skilled and experienced allies, not just in Pence but in Business firm Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Bulk Leader Mitch McConnell.
Ryan himself said Wednesday in the wake of Trump'southward win: "Now...nosotros volition lead a unified Republican authorities," and talked of working together toward Republican priorities.
"The opportunity is at present here, and the opportunity is to go big and go bold," Ryan said.
In fact, those establishment allies accept been laying this groundwork for years, said Charles Pierce in Esquire on Midweek.
"Somebody finally climbed aboard the vehicle that the Republican Party had spent long years amalgam, but that it somehow never congenital up the nerve to accept out for a existent shakedown," Pierce wrote. "Turns out, it was more powerful than even they could have imagined it to exist, and at present we're all along for the ride, god help u.s.a.."
