Trump to 'repeal a lot' of Obama's actions on day one, top aide says



Washington (CNN)President-elect Donald Trump plans to repeal a raft of President Barack Obama's executive actions in his first day in office, Trump's incoming White House press secretary said Sunday.

Sean Spicer, Trump's incoming White House press secretary, said on ABC's "This Week" that Trump will immediately "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."

It was one of two moves Spicer said Trump will make immediately after he takes the oath of office.

He didn't specify which executive actions Trump will repeal.

for the current economy and the recent stock market gains means that he now owns the economy. Overturning Obama rules will make it impossible, even to his supporters, to retroactively blame Obama when his actions negatively impact the economy.
SC's economy has one of the larger percentages of people in manufacturing. Articles here, while not being critical
of Trump, are pointing out that any trade wars brought on by Trump enacting some of his campaign promises will hit SC much harder than other areas. That same thing will apply to the displaced Midwestern workers who were sold a bill of goods about Trump bringing back all of their jobs.
