When Donald Trump wants advice on what to do (which happens nearly every day) he picks and chooses from “a network of more than two dozen fellow billionaires and millionaires, sports figures and informal advisers outside the White House.”
White Houses staffers confirm that Trump is consulting with “Tom Barrack and Phil Ruffin, ‘winning’ sports figures like retired Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight and Patriots coach Bill Bellichick, as well as political advisers like his former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski and Rudy Giuliani, New York’s former mayor.”
Perhaps this is where Trump got the idea to “host an unusual private briefing on North Korea for the entire Senate.”
Whether this is an elaborate scheme to instigate a photo-op before Trump’s 100 days in office mark, or something else, every senator will be briefed by members of the administration such as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Joseph Dunford, and Secretary of Defense James Mattis at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
The strange meeting will be held in an auditorium instead of a sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF) and the topic of discussion is expected to be North Korea.
Rounding off his first 100 days as president, Trump is utilizing his ability to churn out executive orders at a record pace in order to give the appearance that he is fulfilling campaign promises and hopefully get a win.
Trump has signed an excess of 32 executive orders so far, outpacing any other president since World War II. The irony of this tactic is that Trump complained about President Obama’s use of executive power as a way to thwart the Congress.
Last year at a town hall in South Carolina, Trump said: “The country wasn’t based on executive orders. Right now, Obama goes around signing executive orders. He can’t even get along with the Democrats, and he goes around signing all these executive orders. It’s a basic disaster. You can’t do it.”
Traditionally, executive orders are used as an easy and simple way “to showcase action by [a] president”, but apparently now that Trump is president, executive orders are okay because according to a statement from the White House, “the use of executive orders [is] necessary to accomplish the speedy solutions.”
However, the effect is palatable. Trump’s astounding amount of executive orders has become his signature way of governing; and perhaps a cop-out to more involved forms of leadership.
Political commentator David Horsey pointed out that “with no bragging rights to legislative accomplishments, Trump has had to fall back on the flurry of executive orders he has issued.”
And this has become “the real hallmark” of Trump’s first 100 days in office.
While on the surface, ruling by executive order seems a bit like a monarchy, Trump’s populist message has been over-shadowed by his actions which convey an “intention… to serve the plutocrats.”
Horsey adds: “By conventional standards, Trump has accomplished very little in his first 100 days, but, in the surreal new world of American politics, it feels as if he has changed everything overnight.”
