Trump Says He Won’t Take ‘Wrecking Ball’ To Obama Legacy Reid calls for limits to his own methods as divisive tenure draws to close Print By S.A. Miller - December 11, 2016
President-elect Donald Trump said Sunday that he doesn’t plan to wipe out President Obama’s legacy, but that he wants to improve efficiency and make government more responsive to businesses.
Mr. Trump was pressed by “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace about charges he intends to take a “wrecking ball” to Mr. Obama’s accomplishments, which critics have said is obvious from some of the president-elect’s Cabinet picks. “No, I don’t want to do that at all. I just want what’s right,” Mr. Trump said in an interview aired Sunday.
For an example, Mr. Trump pointed to the Environment Protection Agency, where his pick of Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt to run the agency sparked charges that he wants to dismantle it. “EPA, you can’t get things approved. I mean, people are waiting in line for 15 years before they get rejected, OK? That’s why people don’t want to invest in this country,” said Mr. Trump. “So we’re going to clean it up. We’re going to speed it up and, by the way, if somebody is not doing the right thing, we’re not going to approve.”

So many other things are much more effective than a wrecking ball.
Surgical tactical nuke strikes.
We paid for a wrecking ball. We voted for a wrecking ball. We EXPECT a wrecking ball.
I want every vestige of the Kenyanesian Usurpation erased.
How about a blowtorch?
No offense but he cannot allow others to control the conversation. He is not great on defense and they love leading him around and he is better when he’s controlling what he wants to say.

Trump won’t have to do much, Obama’s legacy is one of destruction and deception. It will fall on its own.
See how the words are ‘played’?
I have no problem with him framing it any way he likes. It’s the end results I want to see. IMO, a wrecking ball will come pretty close, but why antagonize people.
Probably a D9.

Exactly. I want to see results, not metaphors. Trump did a good job of diffusing the question.
No wrecking balls are needed. Knives, machetes, and axes will work fine.
He does not have to. More like playing Jinga, pull this block out and... there it goes!
Chris Wallace is an annoying tweezle dick.
I agree, and here’s a good example on another thread.
