Here's The List Of Six Executive Actions Trump Says He Will Issue On Day One

[Revmitchell]

Here are the executive actions being prepared by the incoming Trump administration:

- Notification of intent to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

- Cancel job killing restrictions on the production of American energy including shale-energy and clean coal.

- Issue a directive that says that for every new regulation, two old regulation must be eliminated.


- Will ask the Department of Defense and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to develop a comprehensive plan to protect America's vital infrastructure from cyber-attacks and all other forms of attacks.

- Will direct the Department of Labor to investigate all abuses of visa programs that undercut the American worker.

- Will impose a 5-year ban on executive officials from becoming lobbyists after they leave the administration and a lifetime ban on executive officials lobbying on behalf of foreign governments

The one about regulations: In theory, I like it; in practice, it could be a way of deleting regulations that don't actually have any benefits. However, it could also prohibit new regulations that might actually be necessary. I'd like to see how that's balanced out.

The one about cyber security worries me greatly. It basically opens the door for military control of our entire US-based network capability; and leads to the possibility of "DoD approval" of IT systems, penalties against companies that don't meet DoD-designed security standards, etc. And while that doesn't sound like a bad thing in theory, consider: each level of complexity introduced into an IT system is an exponential--not cumulative, or just added, but exponential--cost to the businesses that must comply.

I don't thing that true, defense and control are not the same thing.

Where is his statement to stop funding foreign abortion services? Reagan did this on his first day. George W. Bush did this on his first day. McCain pledged to do this, if elected. Romney pledged to do this. One would think with all the support Trump got from evangelicals he could throw them a bone on Day One...

And it is the wrong department to undertake this project. NSA has the most experience and the most expertise in this area. NSA and DARPA should work together on this one with DARPA being in an advisory role.

I don't thing that true, defense and control are not the same thing.

In order to protect from cyber attacks, you must identify the gateway that cyber traffic flows through; or you must designate the protocols that everyone must abide by to keep the traffic monitored. If it's the first one, you can't protect a gate if you don't own it; in the second one, you're "simply" requiring everyone to follow a specific set of guidelines, ensuring that everyone follows the same set of rules to protect the gates--which requires those individual entities increasing their costs to meet that set of standards.

For example, the Navy sub-contracts to Hewlitt-Packard and other companies for network support and security; wonder how much the Navy is paying those companies to maintain the necessary level of security?

And it's not a large leap of logic to guess that what they're proposing is wrapping that critical infrastructure network security into existing military contracts; thereby increasing the cost of those contracts.

On the one hand, they're probably only talking about government entities' critical infrastructure; on the other hand, it's not clear if they're also talking about typically civilian-controlled infrastructure, such as pipelines, trains, airlines, etc.

No need to do so. He praised Planned Parenthood on national television and White Evangelicals still voted for him. Why pander to a group that will vote for you just because you have an R after your name?

I agree but not because he has an "R" after his name.
I was/am disgusted with both the giant establishment parties and am a small "i" independent (known as No Preference here in WA State). It's his anti-establishmentarianism that drew me to him along with his avowed pro-life stance.

I also did not like him giving any kind of support to PP.
I am supporting him now but If he doesn't keep his promise and come through as pro-life,
I for one will disown him forever (and ever).

Lots of "I" 's in my post - Yes I have a large EGO

Personally and for a selfish reason I like the crackdown on VISA abuse.
Why? Because it is difficult for me as a software engineer to compete with the Indian (Asian) engineers who underbid all of us. Many of them will be going back home because they let their visa expire but kept on bidding against and taking jobs away from the American engineers anyway.

So a large IT software engineer gap will develop in January 2017 if Trump keeps his word and puts us back to work.

The last contract I worked on was a WA State contract. About 80% of the engineers on the project were Asian Indian which I estimated that over 50% had overstayed their welcome.

I was appalled as well because they keep their horrible cast system intact and I had to jump through their social hoops to talk to them especially the female engineers.

I have worked on projects where large numbers of Indian programmers were brought in. One very knowledgeable American programmer trained them all and then was let go. Hopefully Trump can put a lid on all these H1-B visas.
