It's stories like this I like to forward to friends that are saying Trump can't get anything done and we might as well have Hillary/Obama. There is a WHOLE LOT that is going on behind the scenes. As Obama demonstrated with immigration law, the laws on the books are written so loosely a President and Cabinet Secretary can essentially interpret them any way they want. Now, while it would be nice to have legislative changes as they are certainly more permanent, 14 Trump cabinet secretaries are busy gutting the regulatory state. And while some could be reversed under a future democrat administration, many cannot. For instance, once the Keystone Pipeline permits have been issued, the pipeline is built, and oil is flowing. A democrat can't very well, revoke the permits, reverse the oil flow, and unbuild the pipeline.

Trump’s actions are more conservative than the policies of Bush 41 and 43. We have Jeff Sessions as AG. The HFC are being tougher on Trump than they were on Obama. You can bet there will be a major fight on raising the debt limit.
