For John, BLUF: President Trump, perhaps with 2020 in mind, is trying to fulfill his campaign promises. Nothing to see here; just move along.
Here is the sub-headline:
From Iran to Obamacare to DACA, the president is acting on what Republicans have long promised, in a way that rightly devolves power to the legislative branch.
What we are seeing down in DC is that President Trump is moving to implement policies that reflect the issues he ran on, and which Congressional Republicans claimed were their issues. However, those Republicans in Congress can't seem to act. Then the President throws the issue into Congress' lap. Now Republicans and Democrats have to act, sometimes with a deadline. An example is the DACA Policy of the last Administration. President Trump said fix it or I will end it in six months. Another is the unconstitutional payments to insurance companies under the PP&ACA.
Good job Mr President. Fulfilling campaign promises AND prodding Congress to do its job.
Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
