Top Trump ally pumps brakes on 'Day One' MAGA policy plan

Raw Story  

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump indicated that he has major goals for his first day in office — but one of his top allies is pumping the brakes on one major agenda item. Rep. Byron Donalds told Raw Story on Friday that he expects most of Trump's plans to quickly pass, including "delivering on border immediately, addressing the economy, tax policy, energy policy, and of course, yes, we're going to have to deal with the debt ceiling." But he cautioned that his mass deportation plans would not be able to be rushed through — and that Trump would likely have to come to Congress to win backing. While Donalds is right that spending for mass deportations will be necessary — and such spending needs to pass through Congress — a Trump executive order on tariff policy is also questionable.
