The US president-elect is yet to be sworn in but he is already
taking a wrecking ball to Obama's legacy. This is according to
his chief press secretary, Sean Spicer who made a series of
revelations during an appearance on ABC's This Week. Spicer
told host, Jonathan Karl, that the future Commander-in-chief
will 'sign a series of executive orders' on day one, so he can
do two things.
The first, Spicer said, will be to 'repeal a lot of the regulations
and actions that have been taken by this administration over
the last eight years that have hampered both economic
growth and job creation.' He added that the second thing
Trump will do is bring in 'forward thinking.'
Spicer said Trump will 'bring a new brand to Washington,' by
implementing a five-year lobbying ban or a lifetime ban on
anyone who wants to serve a foreign government.
'If you want to serve in a Trump administration, you’re going
to serve this country, not yourself,' Spicer said.
No specific policies or laws were mentioned but Obamacare
could be in Trump's line of fire along with the Transpacific
trade deal.
Spicer also revealed Trump won't slow down on his use of
social media even though the president elect said in a
previous interview that he'll cut back on his tweeting once in
office. Spicer said the platform allows Trump to have a 'direct
conversation' with the public that isn't 'funneled through the
media.'
'The fact of the matter is that, when he tweets, he gets
results.
'So whether it’s Twitter, holding a news conference, picking
up the phone, having a meeting, he is going to make sure that
he continues to fight for the American people every single
day.'
Hang on America, it's not going to be a smooth ride.
