Donald Trump is ready to begin taking executive actions on his first day in the White House on Friday to move quickly on his pledge to crack down on immigration, build a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border and roll back policies of outgoing President Barack Obama.
Trump, a Republican elected on Nov. 8, arrived in Washington on Thursday with his family to kick of a weekend of festivities and spoke to a gathering of members of his incoming administration.
After being sworn in during a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol on Friday, Trump is poised to wield one of the most powerful tools of his office, the presidential pen, for executive actions that can be implemented without the input of Congress.

I’m from the “Slow and steady wins the race.” school of thought.

Makes perfect sense to me. The nominations are important and the poor education nominee struggled on her best day with no shock and no awe strategy to interfere, or she would be possibly at risk.

Mature plan. Difference of a few days.
Thank you for this information; makes total sense to drip drip until appointments are approved. I would prefer totall aggressive but if this would endanger any of the appointments, then I see the sense.
Excited about this. Really need to keep the momentum going and have their heads spinning.
Sure the MSM has already started writing stories about the ‘victims’ of budget cuts.
I am a proponent of the Machiavellian transition.
Reversing the Mexico City Policy can be done immediately. That’s become a tradition every time the office of the Presidency changes parties.
Me too. After so many wimpy Republicans, RINOs actually, I’m ready for aggressive conservative changes.
I of course prefer shock and awe, but waiting till your generals are on board makes some sense. It also gets our base gradually fired up for the all out political slugfest that is looming.
A week or two won’t matter so long as the administration is seen going all Conan the Barbarian on the suppurating bedsores of globalism.
Thanks for the ping, Larry. I agree with their thinking. With as nasty of people as Warren, let’s get a good team and then get more forceful. Warren is one hateful squaw!
“and take steps to delay a Labor Department rule due to take effect in April that would require brokers who give retirement advice to put their clients’ best interests first.”
that potentially COULD be a good rule as the criminals who trick the elderly into buying proprietary variable annuities where they promise 8% annualized returns, but in reality take 20% off the top as their “commission” are absolute bottom-feeder scum of the earth.
Love it!
Larry, as long as he doesn’t pull a fast one on the BIG issue of “climate change” being junk science! His nominee today conceded the high ground when he stated that man does cause climate changes (somehow, unspecified, unscientific).
In most cases these types of requirements work very well.
It may be best to have most all our people safely in place and then steamroller 'em and never let 'em get up again.
I'm not Team Trump, but I agree with this philosophy. Coming out of a Obama's "Do it my way or else" viewpoint puts my hackles up. I don't want another President like that. So, that makes me think that we can never convince the "looney liberals" we're the better party if we try to force them in a free world.
Having said that, I do agree that Trump should take action on the immigration and healthcare issues as soon as possible.
...And pay for them with tax deferred money...
“I liked the former, but the rationale for holding off on some was the cabinet appointees. It was thought that being too provocative before they were in place might kill a couple of nominations.”
That’s exactly what I was thinking. No need to piss off the Dems (any more than they already) until total cabinet is in place.
It’s all good LS... we’re winning this one.
