It's My Job & Someone Has to Say it.
Unsolicited Feedback on some Executive Orders. Some are very Good others ...
Below are some of the executive orders Trump signed his first day in office.
(With some commentary in italics)
Revocation of approximately 80 executive actions signed by former President Joe Biden. Without this list it’s impossible to comment but given the overall weakness of Joe Biden (aka The Big Guy) this was probably smart.
Directive ending "the weaponization of political adversaries of the previous administration" Agree
Directive ordering the restoration of freedom of speech and preventing government censorship. Very good idea. Returning to the Constitution era, Great
Withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement. Yes, Paris is like Jim Cramer, do the opposite of what they do
Directive to federal agencies to address the cost of living crisis. Strike One. Just abolish the Federal Reserve and return to Traditional Money versus printed Money
Requirement for federal workers to return to full-time in-person work. And while we are on this topic of federal workers, reduce federal workers especially in Department of Defense, Department of Education and Department of Homeland Security. Also, the Department of Energy staff members that are really part of the Military Industrial Complex (let’s cut out these kind of deceitful games)
Federal hiring freezes, except in military and other excluded categories. Strike 2, USA has over 750 bases, Anyone with a brain in their skull knows this is a set up for theft by the Military Industrial Complex and the war profiteers stealing from the taxpayers.
Regulatory freeze preventing bureaucrats from issuing more regulations. Good idea
Ending birthright citizenship. This seems a bit odd. I thought if you were born in United States you are a US citizen. If you have a plan to fix immigration (like you said you did) then this seems off, I will have to revisit this one later.
Exiting the World Health Organization. For sure, they are the opposite of health
Renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America' This seems petty and un-necessary. You don’t want your bias to enter into renaming World Geography, this is the nonsense Kings would do and always smacked of arrogance and gives the rest of the World reason to think you are insane.
Delaying the TikTok ban for at least 75 days. Go ahead, except as a parent I wish all of em were banned. How about this, if you have good grades you can earn some computer time.
National border emergency declaration. Bet there are some people in the construction industry, farming industry, hotel industry and the kill floor of the meat processing plants that want to provide you feedback on this. But yes there is a problem at the Border
Revoking electric vehicle goals set by the Biden administration. Good idea and I’d like to add it would be a good idea to revive auto manufacturing in USA not just Detroit.
Reclassification of federal workers as political appointees. Humm, this could backfire. Turnover is expensive. Let’s try limiting the terms of Congress first
Declaring a national energy emergency to promote fossil fuel production. Couldn’t agree more. There is a lot of Oil and Gas in Alaska, North Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, etc - Lets Get Going
Directive to continue border wall construction. You had four years last time you held this office and there was no progress. Curious, what makes this year any different? Just asking the question. Moreover, good luck sourcing the steel for this project. Why not get creative and use drones? Your little boy Elon may hook you up with some robotic dogs (robotic dogs that sense movement?). A wall is not just a ridiculous idea, it's impractical. It’s like building a bridge to nowhere. The distance of the US-Mexico border is over 1,300 linear miles. The reason there is no wall there is because the construction project is unrealistic from an architectural, aesthetic, engineering and contracting perspective (plus there are dozens of other solutions you should try first.) Let's focus on more feasible solutions. Get Creative Donald.
This cost estimate below is low balling it at 65 Billion. But with Government involved you can triple that number.
Termination of the "Remain in Mexico" policy. Not up to speed on this policy, no comment
Designation of criminal cartels as terrorist groups. Not certain the nomenclature will deter their evil acts but lets also supplement that with fixing the economic conditions in US that lead to addiction (money printing creating inflation is a pretty big stressor here)
Suspension of refugee resettlement for at least four months. Not so fast tough guy, we must not forget what the Statue of Liberty stands for, there are instances where an evil tyrant wreaks havoc on their own people so why don’t you form a conference of Bishops and work out some admitting criteria and stick to it. Involve the private sector and churches and don’t use Government for this. Being tough for tough’s sake is not virtuous, just seems heartless and hateful
Editors Note:
Donald, while your encouraging exploration and drilling for oil and gas do the same for copper, gold, silver, lead, zinc and uranium. USA has many deposits and to use this metaphor “there’s a lot of juice left to squeeze” within these mineral rich areas such as California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Alaska, Idaho, South Dakota , etc
Moreover, Why didn’t you sign an executive order taking another look into “The Mining Act of 1872” This law is still the law on the books for US mineral resource extraction on federal lands. It’s an antiquated law that distorts the true cost of silver extraction by allowing mining companies to extract minerals from federal lands without paying royalties.
This artificially lowers production costs, creating a false impression of silver's market value
