White House teases executive orders on China, immigration and prescription drugs

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said Monday that President Donald Trump plans to sign a handful of executive orders this week as the president looks to right his reelection campaign after a brutal June that saw his poll numbers plummet amid a coronavirus resurgence and racial unrest.

In an interview on “Fox & Friends,” Meadows gave few details about the coming orders except that they will pertain to China, bringing manufacturing jobs back from overseas, immigration and prescription drug prices. The chief of staff cast the orders as the White House pushing forward with some of its top priorities after stalling in Congress.

“We're going to get them done when Congress couldn't get them done,” Meadows, a former North Carolina congressman, said, adding that the orders will demonstrate “business that actually goes forward from the Oval Office when Congress doesn't act.”

But the timing of the new orders comes after a particularly bruising month for the White House.

As states across the country began to reopen amid the coronavirus pandemic, more than half the country began to see increasing infection rates in recent weeks, leading more than a dozen states to halt or roll back their reopening process as the country saw numerous record-breaking daily cases reported. The White House, meanwhile, has given mixed messages about the outbreak as it has sought to play down the severity of the spikes.

The pandemic flareups unfolded against a backdrop of sustained racial unrest following the police killing of George Floyd in late May, with Trump stoking the culture wars by disparaging protesters and leaning into “law and order,” defending military bases named after Confederates, and vowing to protect statues protesters have attempted to topple.

Also last month, the president’s first campaign rally since the pandemic began drew a paltry turnout while poll after poll showed Trump trailing former Vice President Joe Biden, in some cases by an increasing margin.

Meadows did not miss the opportunity to contrast Trump’s coming executive orders with Biden’s lengthy political record, deploying an attack the campaign has used often.

“The interesting thing is this president will do more in the next four weeks than Joe Biden and his team did in the last 40 years,” he claimed. “So you just need to stay tuned.”

Can’t rule it out but it wouldn’t be wise given that it’s close to November. It’s a double edge sword imo.

We're talking about a guy who thinks doubling down on racism is gonna give him more votes. So being wise doesn't have anything to do with this.

If that happens a myriad of lawsuits will put the decision in the court system which would take about a year to be dealt with.

Trump expected to refile paperwork to end DACA this week

President Trump is expected to refile paperwork this week to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that offers protections for thousands of young immigrants, according to multiple people familiar with the planning.

Trump was initially expected to move to re-rescind the Obama era program last week, but it was pushed back, according to one source. The exact timing remains in flux, but Trump is now expected to file the paperwork this week.

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows hinted in an interview with Fox News earlier Monday that the president was readying executive action on immigration issues, though he did not offer specifics.

The decision to refile on DACA was widely expected after the Supreme Court ruled last month that the administration failed to give an adequate justification for terminating the program as required by federal law. But the court made clear Trump had the authority to rescind the program, essentially forcing the president to try again or risk the appearance of backing down.

"We have to refile,” Trump told Fox News days after the ruling. "And everything’s going to work out for DACA and the young people, who aren’t so young, if you want to know the truth."

The new filing would likely be challenged again in court. It's unclear if the rescission would go into effect prior to Election Day, but Trump's renewed focus on ending the program will likely make it a key election issue and could put the spotlight on Congress' inability to reach an immigration deal.

The Trump administration in 2017 rescinded DACA, which shields young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children from deportation. The move was a central feature of the president’s initial efforts to restrict immigration upon taking office.

Polls show that there is broad bipartisan support for protecting Dreamers, but the president's allies who favor restricting legal and illegal immigration have argued he has little choice but to follow through on ending the program.

“Overall absurdity of the ruling aside, the Supreme Court provided a clear procedural roadmap of how to rescind the program. We expect the administration to do so in the coming weeks,” said RJ Hauman, head of government relations at the Federation for American Immigration Reform.

The president has in recent weeks turned to immigration to appeal to his core supporters as he scuffles in the polls. He signed an executive order suspending certain work visas for the rest of the year, a decision cheered by allies who viewed it as protecting American workers amid an economic downturn.

Trump visited the border wall in Arizona late last month to highlight construction on his trademark promise of his 2016 campaign.

Probabaly just posturing for the election. We'll be alright if he acts since it may take a while for it to be executed, facing possible roadblocks and challenges from legal action from those that do not want our ability to work and to stay in the US being taken from us. We may even have Biden in by that time too.

Remember to tell your USC friends and family to register to vote and kick President Miller and first lady Donald out this November.

2Face, sorry your wet dream won't come true.
