What Trump Can and Can’t Do on Day One | WSJ

President-elect Donald Trump has a long list of policy objectives that he wants to implement quickly including border policy for immigration, closing the Department of Education, implementing tariffs and more. For most of Trump’s objectives for his second term, there are limitations including checks and balances within the process or limitations directly from Congress.

WSJ explains which of these plans he can carry out on his own, which he’ll need help from Congress for, and what might end up in the courts.

People forgot he got the majority of congress so he can pass laws

[imthrillz]

US Citizens are gonna be paying for those tariffs…

[wayneenterprise]

Keyword: "Day one", that does not mean he cannot do this on day 2 or 3 or 4. Republican controls senate, house and the court. Overturning and admen a few laws, are not a far fetched idea. Is Wall Street Journal sleeping?

[bernardvandyk]

People forget that Trump never follows the law.

[danrich]

"I will close the department of education."
Picks Linda McMahon to head department of education.

[anthonyrandall]

Why is Trump making Linda McMahon his secretary of education if he’s going to shut down education, that would be the dumbest decision ever

[lhyxx]

You forgot to mention that both the house are under Republican

[mea]

Tariffs will eventually raise the price on everything we need

[sonyawilliams]

As an executive at a food manufacturer, I can tell you the President does not control our prices. Nor does the President control mortgage rates or gas prices. If he slaps tariffs on our packaging and ingredients we will have to increase our prices to the retailer, who then blows up the price beyond what we had to you. But good luck everyone.

[awesmenbdy]

Pardoning the people who stormed the capital is crazy, what they did is domestic terrorism

[freetolook]

The president doesn't decide the price of gas and oil. But they take the blame for it when it goes up.
😂

[freetolook]

Tariffs are going to lower inflation?
Please explain to me how that is going to work.

[David-kidl]

Sounds like Trump is going to be told NO quite a bit in his second 4 year term,
And being told No is the worst word for someone that has Narcissistic Personality Disorder,
The American people will see the results of his narcissistic rage and it's not going to be a pretty ending,

[UDSROBLOX]

"We will end inflation" How are you gonna do that anyway Donald

[lettucesalad]

You know the 28th Amendment will be to change the national anthem to "YMCA".

[jonfettig]

The moral values of the Republican Administration are on display for all to see 😢

[jasonsmith]

He’ll forever change America on day one

[twista]

First of all "he needs to be locked up" JUSTICE FOR ALL!!! ✊️

a lovely nurse came to my home a week after the election to help me with my medical care. she told me that her son, who has Asperger's, was thriving in his senior year because of the specialized education plan that was developed by his school and setup through the dept of education. an IEP, or Individualized Education Program, help children with all kinds of disabilities. i live in a heavily red area in a red state, but she's from a prosperous neighborhood that might be heavily blue...all i know is, he's at risk and so are millions of children because of the short-sighted and selfish "egg voters". no one denies that improvements can be made in just about anything, but to "close" the dept of education is fvcking nuts.

I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church.
