Awesome. Have to give at least one thing to Trump. He's addressing exactly what he said in his campaign.

- asdfologist 10y agoAll he's done so far is send down pharma stock prices.
- Shivetya 10y agonever under estimate the power of the "bully pulpit". If he gets people talking in the press about then it can bubble back up to Congress if not board rooms of companies looking to garner good will of the public
- judah 10y agoIn case one is blinded by partisan bias, remember than Hillary Clinton made a similar statement[0] against the pharmaceutical industry during her campaign, and likewise sent stocks temporarily falling.

- vkou 10y agoLike, uh, draining the swamp?
- am_i_down 10y agoHard to imagine how that could be done in one month.
- vkou 10y agoHarder to imagine that you can do it with his appointments. Billionaires, cronies, prejurers, and people with conflicts of interest a mile long. People who have not the foggiest understanding of the departments they are running. What exactly qualifies someone to be a 'drain the swamp' candidate? Because at first glance, they sure aren't it.
- ceejayoz 10y ago> Hard to imagine how that could be done in one month. It's especially hard to imagine when the person claiming to be draining the swamp starts a new biz named "Swamp Filling and Expansion, LLC".
- mullen 10y agoHe has not done a single thing he said he would. He is all talk. This is just another issue that he will just talk and nothing will happen.
- yellow_viper 10y agoHe has done loads of things he said he would http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/trumpometer/ http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/trumpometer... Promise kept - 5 Compromise - 1 Stalled - 1 In the works - 14 Promise broken - 0
- tobltobs 10y agoA few examples from what this site defines as a "kept promise": "I'm going to issue our notification of intent to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership." I am sure this was an incredible difficult problem to solve. The renegotiation will be a walk in the park. “I am looking to appoint judges very much in the mold of Justice Scalia. I'm looking for judges — and I've actually picked 20 of them so that people would see.” Again, another masterpiece, he managed to write 20 people on a list. Unbevlievable this creativity. And because everybody is so impressed by this the rest will be another walk in the park. "Place lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying for foreign government." Lobbyist aren't needed anymore anyway. The administration is now run directly by corporations. Again, genius idea, will save a lot of money.
- yellow_viper 10y agoI purposely picked an anti-trump site - TPP is dead, what do you mean renegotiate?
- tobltobs 10y agoUniliteral Renegotiations with those asian TPP members.
