What should President Trump make as his first priority?

President Obama decided to humiliate the Republicans with his "Elections have consequences", and proceeded to sign the orders to close GITMO, go on his "Apology Tour", and jam Obamacare down our throats (without any Republican votes).

This ended up costing him dearly - the Dems gave up their majority in both houses, but in spite of getting reelected, President Obama has been forced to go it alone and use executive orders to implement any policy changes during his second term because he still refuses to compromise.

I think there are areas where he can get what he wants done, and do it in a bipartisan way. This is where I think Trump's campaigning was genius. He talked about deporting 12 million illegal aliens and then bringing some back. He can negotiate a compromise where they are not deported, but given a work visa (provided they aren't criminals), he should be able to get the Democrats to agree.

He talked about stopping immigration from terrorist states until we sorted out the whole vetting issue. Well, let's get that issue sorted out, or figure out a way to have a safe zone in Syria. Again, a bipartisan solution could be possible.

National voter ID and proof of citizenship to register to vote....we can't afford to let this opportunity slip by without getting this done.

Another issue that we could resolve. I doubt that many Democrats are going to stick their necks out to save it at this point. The true idealists will want to save it because it is a step toward single payer, but I think there are enough Dems out there that will sign onto a reasonable solution, since the current cost trajectory is not sustainable.

Don't just get rid of ACA, replace it with something sensible.

He needs a plan to replace the ACA before ridding us of it, went can't just go back to the way things were.

The wall isn't happening so it's not even worth talking about.

Lining up Scalia's replacement and lifting some of the absurd business regulations implemented over the last 8 years would be a good start.

I sincerely think the EOs go on day 1 and Obamacare follows soon thereafter.

Trump knows that he has to have something viable to use in it's place. . .You can bet he already has his team drafting healthcare policy.

As a federal employee, I would like to see him cut welfare back down and give us workers our cost of living raise we haven't had in 8 years.

This. We came very close to never having a fair election again if Clinton had 4 more years to rig the system and flood the US with illegals.

Executive orders done

and then purge DC of corruption by proposing the term limits constitutional amendment?

Or maybe he shouldn't do it that early.

Man I don't know theres a shite load of things he wants to do.

Re-Open the IRS Case, put the Director of the IRS on trial, and move forward with the Clinton Foundation prosecution.
