It will reverse the progress of the last 8 years.

On the chopping block will be regulations to address climate change (which he’s labeled a Chinese hoax); to implement Obamacare (“a disaster”); and to rein in Wall Street (“We’re too involved in regulation of the banks”). Gone, too will be President Barack Obama’s executive actions protecting the children of undocumented immigrants and tightening restrictions on gun sales…

Trump has pledged to “cancel” the Paris climate change agreement that took effect just days ago (though withdrawing would likely take years). He’s also promised to discard EPA’s Clean Power Plan, which limits carbon emissions. The Supreme Court stayed the plan’s implementation in February pending judicial review…

…Trump will be able to limit Medicaid expansion and to give states greater latitude to set up alternatives to the ACA.

In addition, Trump can “do a great deal to interfere” with the ACA’s implementation by changing guidances, observed Timothy Jost, law professor emeritus at Washington and Lee, in a blog for the magazine Health Affairs. Unlike regulations, guidances can be changed without public comment and cost-benefit analysis. Moreover, “If a Trump administration simply stopped implementing or enforcing certain regulatory requirements, there might be little that could be done about it.” For instance, Jost wrote, the Trump administration could stop efforts to enroll patients in Obamacare….Trump has repeatedly vowed to repeal President Obama’s executive actions creating the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which allows the children of undocumented immigrants who arrived after 2007 at age 16 or under to receive two-year work permits and exemption from deportation.

…Even before President Obama announced his executive actions to reduce gun violence on Jan. 4 candidate Trump pledged to “unsign” them. “I don’t like anything having to do with changing our Second Amendment,” Trump said on “Face the Nation.”

    And what did trump say he would do with the Iran nuclear treaty?

    Tear it up? Iran will go back to plutonium production, Israel will scream, and we will be at war in Iran.

        He’ll “bomb the sh*t out of them.” Problem solved.

    That “Chinese hoax” is going to end up killing the Earth.

    We just elected President Derp, it’s time to do everything we can to hinder him. We can start by boycotting every business associated with him. Business pressure should slow him down a little. Protest in the streets will make the message clear. And most importantly, start working on getting progressives elected to the house and senate. 2018 midterms needs to go to the progressives and we can do it now if the younger generation finally feels like there is a genuine cause, removing Trumps power. It’s our country, not Trumps. If he won’t listen to the people, then we need to mute him.

      Two years is a long time and Rump can do a lot of damage in that time. Until I see otherwise we are in one hell of a mess for AT LEAST the next two years…

    Don’t they say little knowledge is dangerous?
    He’s exactly that…an ignoramus who pretends he knows best or better than the generals for one.
    President-elect-Maggot!

      Me too, and without SSDI, I’ll think that having dog food to eat is an unbelievable luxury!!

    T rump thinks President Obama’s executive actions are “unconstitutional’, but when he reverses them, his actions would be ‘unconstitutional’ as well.
    Of course reason and logic don’t matter much to conservatives.

    Americans will reap what they’ve sown, don’t blame me, I VOTED FOR HILLARY!
