Sucks to be a leftist.

President Donald Trump continues to sign legislation, an achievement he deemed “nice” Friday.

The bills include an act to improve weather forecasting, a long-term vision for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and reforms for the Department of Veteran Affairs.

The three pieces of legislation all had bipartisan support.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Transition Authorization Act of 2017 calls for a $19.5 billion budget for NASA — an increase from $19.3 billion in 2016 — and also asks that NASA create a plan for getting humans “near or on the surface of Mars in the 2030s.”

During the campaign, Trump said that “making sure we stay at the forefront of space exploration is a big priority for my administration.”

Trump Has Now Signed 40 Pieces Of Legislation As He Moves To Enact His Agenda

Which of those pieces of legislation implement his signature agenda items?

As a reminder, here are the signature elements on which Trump was elected:
  • Build a wall — and make Mexico pay for it
  • Temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States
  • Bring manufacturing (jobs) back
  • Impose tariffs on goods made in China and Mexico
  • Renegotiate or withdraw from the North American Free Trade Agreement and Trans-Pacific Partnership
  • "Full repeal of Obamacare" and replace it with a market-based alternative
  • Renegotiate the Iran deal
  • Leave Social Security as is -- Does one even need to sign legislation to do this?
  • Cut taxes
  • "Bomb" and/or "take the oil" from ISIS
Congress always passes nominal pieces of legislation that presidents sign. The forty laws Trump has signed fall into the following categories:
  • Repealing Obama-era rules and regulations -- 15 laws (there were ~3800 regulations implemented in 2016 and about 20K in Obama's tenure....I don't know how many of them were enacted via legislation.)
  • Modifying existing programs -- 6 laws
  • Encouraging an agency to try something new -- 5 laws
  • Naming something, siting a memorial or encouraging flag flying -- 5 laws
  • Personnel-related -- 5 laws
  • Extending Obama-era policy -- 2 laws
  • Omnibus appropriations bill -- 1 law
  • New policy -- 1 law

The NASA legislation was passed without amendment by Unanimous Consent.

What other blockbuster legislative achievements has he accomplished.
