In a video posted to his transition team’s YouTube page, President-elect Donald Trump on Monday previewed a series of executive actions he would take in his first hundred days.

In the video, Trump says his administration will withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, “a potential disaster for our nation.” He also said he will “cancel job-killing restrictions” on American energy sources.

The President-elect said he would institute a rule that requires that two regulations be eliminated for every new regulation instituted. He also said he would instruct Department of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff to develop plans to guard against cyberattacks on infrastructure.

Trump said his administration would also investigate abuses in visa programs “that undercut the American worker.”

Finally, Trump said he would impose a five-year ban on executive officials in his administration becoming lobbyists after they leave his administration, and lifetime bans on those officials lobbying for foreign governments.

  1. And every foreign dignitary is required to stay at his DC hotel, because only his kids will profit from that…

  2. So, he’s just pulling numbers out of his ass re: 2 -for-1 on regulations.

    1. “The President-elect said he would institute a rule that requires that two regulations be eliminated for every new regulation instituted.”

    That kind of arbitrary bullshit is meaningless.

      So they are going to investigate drumphs company?

    2. Finally, Trump said he would impose a five-year ban on executive officials in his administration becoming lobbyists after they leave his administration, and lifetime bans on those officials lobbying for foreign governments.

    But nothing about current lobbyists joining his staff, just things he wont give a shit about once he is not in office. If it was current lobbyist one of the very few people he has picked would resign today, and a bunch of his transition staff.

  3. Must be a Republican thing-remember Jeb! and his 4% GDP?

  4. Can anyone explain how this would be enforced?
