trump executive orders first day

In approximately 24-hours, Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as America’s 45th president. Since he initially announced his candidacy in 2015, President-elect Trump has laid out a bold vision for this country, starting on day one.

Well, we may now know, courtesy of Judge Andrew Napolitano, that Mr. Trump plans to sign up to 200 executive orders during the first days of his administration aimed at reversing the disastrous 8 years of failed Obama policies.

From The Daily Caller:

Napolitano told Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum Wednesday night that, based on his conversations with the president-elect, Trump could sign hundreds of regulations on his third full day in office. The judge did not say what policies were being targeted by the incoming administration.

Trump has hinted he would, for example, work to repeal “job killing” energy regulations his first day in office. Trump’s also said he’d repeal Obama-era executive orders on immigration, and he pledged to begin dismantling the Affordable Care Act.

The Trump transition team told reporters Wednesday Trump would issue just “four to five” executive orders on Friday after he’s sworn in.

“He’s got a few of them, probably in the area of four to five, that we’re looking at on Friday,” said incoming White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.

Napolitano made it clear that just as President Obama had a “phone and a pen,” so does the incoming president, and he will not be afraid to reverse as much of Obama’s failed legacy as he can.

President-elect Trump is also expected to sign an order reversing a piece of Obama’s gun control agenda that required any person who sold a gun to be labeled as a gun dealer.
