What are the biggest things left on Trump and his administration's "To Do" list?

What are the biggest things left on Trump and his administration's "To Do" list?

I'm thinking he really wants to
* leave NAFTA
* build the Wall

Maybe withdraw US forces and close down bases in Europe/Canada.

Also, what's the deal with the war on ISIS? I'm also thinking/hoping even more massive immigrant deportations, and a Muslim registry,  and demanding revenue from Iraq's oil, are out.



How Wikipedia sums up his presidency:

During his presidency, Trump ordered a travel ban on citizens from several Muslim-majority countries, citing security concerns; a revised version of the ban was implemented after legal challenges. He signed tax cut legislation, rescinded the individual insurance mandate provision of the Affordable Care Act, and opened the Arctic Refuge for oil drilling. He enacted a partial repeal of the Dodd-Frank Act that had imposed stricter constraints on banks in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. In foreign policy, he pursued his America First agenda: he withdrew the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade negotiations, the Paris Agreement on climate change, and the Iran nuclear deal. He recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. He imposed import tariffs on various goods from China, Canada, Mexico and the European Union.

I thought he had this "contract with the American Voter" where he was suppose to do thousands of other things, drain the swamp, get rid of Ocare, etc. What happened to that? He's still going to do it, right? right?

He has barely done anything major or reversible, except for the taxcuts. I mean, he could leave NAFTA, build the wall, have peace in Korea, sign a favorable trade deal with China, or change immigration laws, but something tells me nothing will be accomplished.

Leave NATO.  Leave the WTO.  Pass legislation that requires personal vehicles to use petroleum-based fuels.  Pass legislation that essentially outlaws wind and solar power.  Eliminate the EPA, as well as all the regulations it currently is assigned to oversee.  Privatize national parks, monuments, and forests, with the possible exception of historical military parks.

You forgot these: deport every undocumented immigrant, restrict legal immigration from every country that isn't majority white, ban abortion through the Supreme Court, end the Affordable Care Act, fire Mueller, establish Fox News as the state media, attempt to become President for life, demand a blood oath from every Republican member of Congress.

[Blue3]

Will he really leave NATO?

Does he even know what the WTO is?

Does he really want to ban abortion nationwide?



And one of his deciding factors for Interior was because the original frontrunner wanted to privatize national parks, which Trump opposes.

He already ended the most controversial parts of the ACA.


I really doubt he wants to outright eliminate the EPA and clean energy.

I don't think he'd try to deport every illegal, or be able to restrict legal immigration to whites-only.

Establishing FOX as the national news is laughable, same with President for life and demanding personal oaths.

Firing Mueller isn't a thing in itself.

Never ceases to amaze me how much of a gulf between the parties there is in regards to policy wishes. When I look at what Trump has done (per the list in OP), even objectively speaking, that is kind of underwhelming. One of them - mandate repeal, isn't even good policy, given that it happened alone and is helping drive up insurance costs bigly.

Foreign policy stuff is meh

Deregulation is meh and his voters would be hard-pressed to state how repealing many misc. Obama-era regulations helps them in any tangible way.

Dodd-Frank changes, same as above.

Moving embassy to Jerusalem - see, again, for voters widely said to be suffering from extreme """economic anxiety""", this seems like more of the stuff the GOP has been distracting them with while they refuse to solve any economic problems in any way that helps their voters.

Even his biggest achievement, the tax cut package, doesn't really help the people that much. And on top of that, its blowing up our deficit/debt, so that will hurt future generations because we have to pay all that off. None of them should be rejoicing over screwing over their kids/grand kids like that.

TPP was already pretty much dead. All he did was choose not to revive it.

-

It's like the parties are zooming in completely opposite directions. One party's idea of a robust agenda is creating new services, programs, regulations, and the other party is fixated on tearing all of that down.

He still is missing a lot of big ticket items, but he's done enough where it shouldn't be hard for him to sell his core supporters on the idea of needing more time - not that they need convincing anyway. But it just goes to show the difficulty level between each party's agenda.

That's one.

I still wonder why he hasn't released it yet.

Probably doesn't exist. He'll dangle it around until November and then he'll conveniently forget about it.

There was a big list of proposed bills. iirc none got proposed, though i could be wrong about that.

[Blue3]

Does anyone even remember what they are?

The GOP agenda is just much shorter than the Democratic agenda, I think.

And while Trump and Congress might not have done much, it seems like they've done most of what they wanted (besides the Ryan entitlement/spending cutters).

Why bother accomplishing things when his supporters will believe that he has accomplished things either way?

They did a lot of damage by executive order, and repealed the individual mandate.

[here2view]

He should have done that first. That would have gotten some bipartisanship appeal, gotten his Presidency off to a better start, and would have somewhat improved his approval ratings. Instead he was too busy failing at repealing the ACA.

Maybe.....

Get Mexico to pay for the wall!

The US populus is way past measured thought, insightful analysis and risk-based management outcomes.

They want simple storylines and Donald Trump sold them one.

You really have to keep a clear message.

Getting Mexico to pay for the wall was an amazing slogan in so many facets.
