Mark Meadows hints at executive orders 'this week' on China, drug prices since Congress won't act

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows on Monday hinted that President Trump will announce executive orders dealing with China after they mishandled the coronavirus outbreak.

“This president will do more in the next four weeks than Joe Biden and his team did in the last 40 years, so you just need to stay tuned because starting this week, you’ll see executive orders, you’ll see business that goes forward from the Oval Office,” Meadows told "Fox & Friends."

Meadows said that when Congress “does not act” against China, Trump will take action.

“We’re going to be looking at how we make sure China is addressed, how we bring manufacturing back from overseas to make sure the American worker is supported. We’re also going to look at a number of issues as it relates to immigration. We’re going to look at a number of issues as it relates to prescription drug prices and we’re going to get them done when Congress couldn’t get them done.”

“I just want to wish everybody a really Happy Fourth of July,” he said in a video message. "We’re on the way to a tremendous victory, it’s going to happen and it’s going to happen big, our country will be greater than ever before.”

Trump began the short message by saying that July 4 is about many different things, “but more than anything else -- freedom.”

President Trump on Saturday gave an optimistic Independence Day message to the nation, declaring that the U.S. is “coming back” and will be “greater than ever before” after it emerges from the coronavirus pandemic -- which he described as a “terrible plague from China.”

Trump is using Executive orders to do what Congress refuses to do......As he has said he needs the Senate and the House in the elections so he can make these law.

Congress doesn’t act because they’re owned by the pharmaceutical lobbyists like just about everybody else.

You know what will happen.

The Dems will file lawsuits claiming the XOs are all unconstitutional and tie them up in court for years, so they have no real effect..................

Wouldn't it also be unconstitutional for the dems to try to stop Trump's XOs? After all, when congress fails to act or refuses to act, XOs might be the only solutions. Yeah, Obama did the same, but, many of his XOs were truly unconstitutional, like DACA. And then, if one judge helps the democrats in blocking an XO, Trump can go hunting for a judge or court that can undo the first judge's block.

Also, isn't it unconstitutional for a single judge or even a single court, to stop XOs from the president, since, they don't widely represent the people's voices, like a president does. In most cases, those judges are unelected officials, and interpretation of the law(s) is oftentimes personal and/or political.

Executive orders must have some statutory law or constitutional law basis I believe.

Both Biden and Pelosi badly need effective drugs for dementia.

Our political elite have only one great fear, Alzheimer’s, so they let big pharma get away with exponentially increasing pricing.

Congress is too busy hating Trump at their Brie and Chablis fests to do any meaningful work for their constituents. EFF ‘em all!

Then free us from the damn masks, Mr. President. Please.
