Donald Trump’s plans to hit the ground running after his Jan. 20 inauguration will likely not go as smoothly as he and some members of his inner circle seem to believe it will.That is according to Guardian reporter Hugo Lowell who appeared on MSNBC on Saturday morning with host Charles F Coleman Jr. and was asked what to expect moments after the president-elect is sworn in.”Hugo, these are a dozen-plus day-one promises,” the MSNBC host began. “Which can Trump actually do and what’s the most important? “ALSO READ: It’s time to decimate the Republicans’ standing with the public — and the press”The most important is definitely immigration, as you said, because that has been the campaign promise,” the reporter replied. “I also think it’s going to be the most difficult of his priorities, because he faces roadblocks at every turn. If he wants to start mass deportations he needs the cooperation of states and cities, and it’s not clear he will get that. He’s going to run into judges not so favorable to him.””The first administration, they bungled the Muslim ban and didn’t get the sign-off of the Department of Justice, and the whole thing kind of cratered,” he recalled. ” But, beyond that, I do think the president does have a lot of power, particularly when it is going to be interpreted by a Republican-leaning Supreme Court or a Republican-leading DOJ. And Trump’s own White House counsels who all that take this idea of a unitary executive power to basically mean Trump has free rein over a lot of areas.”Watch below or at the link.
