Donald J. Trump is now the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, but he is also keenly aware that many in his own party and many Americans, frankly are scared and anxious about the idea of him in the Oval Office. Even he is not sure how a deeply divided nation would adjust to the first 100 days of a Trump presidency.
What he does know, however, is what he wants to do in those early months. In a series of recent interviews, he sketched out plans that include showdowns with business leaders over jobs and key roles for military generals, executives and possibly even family members in advising him about running the country.
Shortly after the Nov. 8 election, President-elect Trump and his vice president most likely a governor or member of Congress would begin interviewing candidates for the open Supreme Court seat and quickly settle on a nominee in the mold of Justice Antonin Scalia.

On Inauguration Day, he would go to a beautiful gala ball or two, but focus mostly on rescinding Obama executive orders on immigration and calling up corporate executives to threaten punitive measures if they shift jobs out of the United States.
...
On his first day in office, he said, he would meet with Homeland Security officials, generals, and others he did not mention diplomats to take steps to seal the southern border and assign more security agents along it. He would also call the heads of companies like Pfizer, the Carrier Corporation, Ford and Nabisco and warn them that their products face 35 percent tariffs because they are moving jobs out of the country. Democrats and some Republicans have warned that financial markets would react poorly and that Mr. Trumps protectionist stances might plunge the country into recession

Are you the same person as reaganaut1?
Hydrox cookies were better than Oreos. Oreos are a knock-off on Hydrox, which was first by 4 years. When I was a kid we had Hydrox at home, 'cause we thought they were better.
Yes — why do you ask?
>>Yes why do you ask?
Because I didn’t proofread. I meant to ask if you were the same as reaganaut (without the 1).
He needs a workable Trumpcare first, doesn't he?
Trump may have a whole list of things he wants to accomplish but he's going to run up against a Congress who has their own agenda. Where for about half the people in each house the idea of a good deal is to deny Trump everything he wants. This isn't like business where a good deal is win/win. This is politics where the best deal is you lose.
He sure did it to Rush!
No, we are not the same person.
Yes, I was but what’s that got to do with anything? Never mind, move along. No one has time for this.
There’s 2 of them. This one has the “1” and they are on opposite sides of Trumps wall
It says warn them. I guess they left out work with congress to get that DEAL done.
What are you an imbecile?
First you post an idiotic comment 3 times, second I was obviously referring to him being able to get Congress to go along.
“He needs a workable Trumpcare first, doesn’t he?”
No actually he wouldn’t as by then nobody or almost nobody wold be on ObamaCare anyway.
But since you asked - He has a health care proposal on his website. He does have a replacement
I've read it. Some of what he proposes already exists and the rest won't help lower income families afford health insurance. Plus it's contradicted by some of his public statements. So I don't think he does have a workable plan.
I agree. Going after the problem, the Chinese is the approach to take. Reverse what Nixon did by opening up US markets to China.
A blustery bully pulpit can get lots done
Obviously a shot a Ross the bow to prevent more bleeding between then and when Congress would act. As part of the new tax bill. Duh.
Can’t u just see them holding up tax cuts for all over import duties? Finding a spine finally with like 13% public support. Sure you can.
“Might plunge the country into recession”.
There’s a joke. We never got out of recession since 2008. It could only bet better at this point. There’s no jobs left.
GW put a tarrif on steel for a year or two then succumbed to pressure and lifted it.
I bet you still doubt he'll get the nomination.
I bet you doubt that he owns a $100 million Boeing757.
.
I bet you don't believe he builds 93 story hotels, office buildings and golf courses all over the world.
.
Don't go to Vegas, You'll lose.
