A Look at Trump’s Early Decisions

Since taking office, our newly elected president Donald Trump has definitely made a splash. He made it very clear on the campaign trail and after his election, he was going to bring change to America that was promised 8 years ago, but was never really delivered. So, in his first week he has signed:

– An order to begin repealing Obamacare by signing into law that certain organizations no longer need to enforce Obamacare. This has been a campaign point for a long time; one of the most consistent points he made since declaring his campaign, and if this had not been addressed there would have been a serious issue believing his campaign.

– An order ensuring that from now on all oil pipelines built in the United States will be with steel made in the America, and produced by U.S. Workers. This order is one of many designed to quickly produce jobs.

-This order coincides with the one regarding U.S. Steel for pipeline construction, which is allowing construction of the DAPL, The Dakota Access Pipeline, and the Keystone XL pipeline. Both projects were denied by the previous administration, and fervently protested by Native Americans and other assorted people who would be affected, and even those who would not be affected, but were still out there protesting.

– Most of all the Immigration Ban on seven countries with the largest amount of terrorists. I cannot stress enough that this is NOT a ban on Muslims, but instead a policy attempting to halt terror attacks to our nation. In fact, the nations which have the largest population of Muslims have only one mention on the list, being Iran. (http://www.worldatlas.com/articles/countries-with-the-largest-muslim-populations.html ) Something that personally cracks me up is that the list of nations Trump banned was originally devised by Obama and the previous presidency.

These are some extraordinary changes made so quickly into his presidency, and I believe this bodes very well for his first term in office. It’s good that he begins to live up to campaign promises that think we can all agree seemed somewhat far fetched.
