Simple To Predict Trump's Future Executive Orders

All one has to do is read all of Obama's executive actions to know what Trump's going after. If it's got Obama's name on it.... it goes. Just that simple.

In Obama's first year in office he signed 39. So far Trump has signed 45 in his first 8 months according to the White House. Which about 16 were made to reverse Obama's actions.

Yeah I get it. To the victor goes he spoils, but a number of these removed protections to the environment and consumers from the financial industry. Others established several committees & councils whose members quit or were disbanded altogether, some before their first meeting. Not all of these executive actions were bad, but without a doubt a number of them were designed to erase Obama's. Mostly for political reasons.

The problem with some of Trump's undoing Obama's executive actions is a few of them will negatively impact his own supporters. I'll give you a couple of examples. One will be detrimental to people living in coal mining regions. Regulations have been loosened allowing coal waste, ash pits and gas closer to residents and rivers. Another loosens rules on drillers of oil and fracking deposits taking place in closer proximity to where people live.

"Business Insider" reports-- "In early February, Trump signed an executive order putting in motion a repeal of the Obama administration's retirement-savings rule, which would have required that financial advisers act in their clients' best interests."

On August 22, 2017 "The Washington Post" updated their extensive piece entitled, "How Trump is rolling back Obama’s legacy". They point out so far there's been another 63 cabinet level decisions made changing Obama's positions.

The Big Picture
To hear some tell it Trump received an overwhelming mandate. That simply isn't true. Looking back at the popular vote Trump received 62,984,825 to Hillary's 65,853,516. Many may not have liked Hillary enough to get her elected, but for damn sure the larger half can't be happy putting a wrecking ball to all things Obama. If somehow Trump thinks he's doing the will of the people he's very much mistaken.

Many of these executive actions will have consequences down the line not just on the environment and on peoples' lives but politically as well. More then a number of Trump's actions wouldn't have stood a chance with Republican members in congress. If that were the case they would have originated in congress. They did not. And we certainly know most Republicans were no friend of Obama.

The attitude among his die hard supporters seems to say the hell with all of them. Go for it Donald. They along with he seem more fanatical about undoing everything Obama along with the Republican controlled congress did 7 of those 8 years to the point of blind obsession.

I'm not trying to be an apologist for Obama. We're suppose to be a representative democracy. What would you call a leader and his band of followers who try to put themselves above Congress and half of their fellow Americans? Patriots? I think not.

Putting all the partisan crap aside we really truly need to ask ourselves whether we are liberals/conservatives or Americans above all else. With this guy in the oval office it's nothing but a constant war with the media, members of congress, his own appointees, anyone and anything else he deems to be rubbing him the wrong way from one moment to the next. Whatever and whomever he can demean dividing us to make himself look better.

Come on people don't let Trump and his minions turn us into sour grapes. Other then this President, every one of the presidents before him all contributed something positive Some may have adjusted policies making them better. Some worse, but none came into office like a wrecking ball determined to destroy each and every accomplishment of the president before them.
