Trump’s First Week: New at Reason

Donald Trump will be inaugurated president Friday. What might the first day hold? The first week?

John Stossel writes:

Donald Trump will be busy Friday.

He and Mike Pence have promised, Mother Jones magazine points out, that on Trump’s first day in office he will repeal Obamacare, end the “war on coal,” expel illegal immigrants, begin construction of a “beautiful Southern border wall,” fix the Department of Veterans Affairs, come up with a plan to stop ISIS, get rid of “gun-free zones,” “start taking care of our … military,” withdraw from the TPP trade agreement, cut regulations and designate China a currency manipulator.

OK, much of that was probably just campaign talk. I’m grateful for that. I hope some of it never happens.

But there’s a lot of good Trump and Pence could do their first day, or, let’s be generous, their first week. How about this?

Monday: Abolish the Department of Commerce.
