Trump’s flourish of executive orders to undo the damage done by “the big guy” over the last four years has started, but there is also a dangerous precedent set over the years that must be fixed.
I admit it, I love watching the dismantling of so many of the Obama/Biden deep state efforts to change government of, by, and for the people into an oligarchic state run by political tiny tyrants. In case anybody thinks this is about bashing a couple democrats while giving a free pass to the elephants in the room, I count the Bushes as equally part of the problem. The uniparty in DC is in open revolt against the people now, and we must ensure Trumps desire to make sweeping positive change is backed up by something more substantial that can’t be undone just as fast.
Every executive action needs to be highlighted and considered for Congressional action so it can be in U.S. Code.
There is a reason for this. America is not supposed to be ruled by the actions of one executive, but rather the will of the people as expressed through Congress primarily. Those of us who witnessed the damage of the Biden admin and others could see everything Trump is doing undone if America were to forget the lessons of the Biden, Obama, Bush, and other administrations.
If Congress fails to act quickly in the months ahead, then they failed to read the will of the American people, the GOP could die as well, and any deep state Presidential administration would simply triple down on the level of destruction they would try to cause over the course of their four or more years.
Start by going down the headlines of the White House News site and make a list. Place into statute everything that can and makes sense.
There are fourteen pages of things to look at on the site as of today. Get busy Congress.
