Undoing Biden: Trump’s First-Month Agenda

 American Spectator; Depriving Kamala her chance to finish the Biden agenda was at least as important as electing Trump to the presidency.

"As for Israel, Trump was — and will be again — the best ally Israel ever had in the White House. Gone will be the Biden threats of cancelling U.S. financial and military aid unless Israel force-feeds the Gaza population." 

Revoke Biden’s Orders and Memoranda

Beginning on January 20, 2025 President Trump will have the opportunity to repair the damage that Joe Biden and Kammy Harris have done in the past four years. But the next four years will pass quickly, so Trump has to start on his first day and keep charging ahead.

"The Dems will have their own agenda. If they get a majority in the House — which seems unlikely at this writing — they’ll impeach Trump by Saint Patrick’s Day.

"The agenda for Trump’s first month begins on Inauguration Day.

"The simplest and best action Trump can take is to revoke all of Biden’s executive orders and presidential memoranda. According to Ballotpedia.

"Biden has signed 142 executive orders and 221 presidential memoranda. (That number may increase between now and Inauguration Day.) Both of those actions direct federal officials to take — or refrain from — certain actions that are at least purportedly in their power. The difference between them is that EO’s have to be published while the presidential memoranda don’t.

"Trump should revoke every one of Biden’s executive orders and presidential memoranda. Some of them are the means by which Biden opened our borders. Revoke them all. Every. Single. One.

"Trump’s staff should have a document accomplishing that ready for his signature on Inauguration Day.

"Also on Inauguration Day, Trump should have legislation in hand that would authorize and fund construction of the wall across the Mexican border. It should also close our borders to all but legitimate commercial traffic, legal immigration, and tourists with proper visas. That bill, which should be HR-1 if Republicans keep the House, should be sent to the House and Senate for consideration beginning that day.

"Nothing — other than cancellation of the Biden executive orders and presidential memoranda — can be done immediately but much can be done or at least begun within the first month of Trump’s new presidency.

"Biden has supposedly made the civil service Trump-proof. He has done that by converting a lot of political appointees — who are usually called “Schedule C’s,” political but not senate confirmed — into regular civil service jobs.

"House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La) has already posed a good solution to that problem. Transfer all of them out of D.C. to places they may not wish to be and essentially force them to quit rather than be reassigned." . . .

"Personnel is Policy" . . .

"Reversing Biden on NATO, Ukraine, Middle East" . . .
