US President-elect Donald Trump takes office with a wide-ranging list of ‘day one’ executive orders.
US President-elect Donald Trump campaigned on a range of issues he promised to tackle on his first day, ranging from immigration to oil production.
Host Steve Clemons talks with Tevi Troy, who was deputy secretary of staff for Republican former President George W. Bush, and Niall Stanage, White House columnist for The Hill.
Stanage notes that many of Trump’s initiatives will be stuck in the courts and the legislature, even though both houses of Congress are under Republican control. And Troy argues that Trump’s negotiating tactic is to raise the rhetoric (ie, the threat of tariffs) but then reach practical compromises.
