Trump is highly negligent as the head of the executive. Given that the shutdown will continue with no one able to confidently predict its end, he should order OMB to have agencies begin planning their permanent transfer of their essential functions to remaining agencies. Coast Guard transfer to DoD, HUD block granted to HHS, etc. he should also order furloughed Treasury employees that process Congressional pay.

There are a zillion things Trump could do to tighten the screws, say 5-10 actions a day, but apparently Mulvaney and everyone else in this Administration is brain dead.

Hell why not just bring Sessions back and let him run things if you are so negligent.

if he could do it by EO the do what he can by EO, but I think must of what you listed would require legislation. Which isn’t going to happen!
