President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday morning that he said will “dramatically reduce federal regulations” on businesses.

“We’ll be reducing [regulations] big-league and their damaging effects on our small businesses, our economy, and our entrepreneurial spirit,” Trump said during a meeting with small business leaders. “The American dream is back, and we’re going to create an environment for small business like we haven’t had in many, many decades.”

President Trump said that the order mandates that for every new regulation implemented by federal agencies, two existing regulations must be cut. He called it the “largest ever cut by far in terms of regulations.”

The president was flanked by small business leaders as he signed the order in the Oval Office Monday.

President Trump Meets With National Sheriffs’ Association



A breath of fresh air instead of meeting with the community agitators.



President Donald Trump, who made “law and order” a central issue of his campaign and enjoyed wide support among members of the law enforcement community, met with a group from the National Sheriffs’ Association at the White House on Tuesday and was given a letter of thanks for his recent executive actions to clamp down on illegal immigration.

“State and local law enforcement have, in recent years, shouldered much of the burden associated with criminal illegal immigration and the subsequent impact on our communities,” said the letter, which was signed by both the president and executive director of the National Sheriffs’ Association. “As you have recognized, our borders are not secure and we applaud your efforts to address this threat to our public safety.”

Trump was joined by Vice President Mike Pence and senior advisers Jared Kushner, Steve Bannon, Reince Priebus and Stephen Miller, held a “listening session” with a group of sheriffs in the Roosevelt Room.

Trump pledged to work closely with all members of the law enforcement community to keep the American people safe and assured the sheriffs that the Trump administration will make every effort to stop drugs and crime from flowing into the country, put an end to the opioid epidemic, secure the borders to keep terrorists out, and strengthen the bonds between state, local and federal law enforcement agencies.

Jonathan Thompson, the executive director and CEO of the National Sheriffs’ Association told President Trump that six months ago he sat in the same room with President Obama and pleaded and begged for help. He continued, “Today, you’ve invited us here to your home. You’re offering help. You’re delivering on that offer. And on behalf of our members across the country, thank you.”[…]

The group had an open discussion about the issues facing the law enforcement community and noted that it was an opportunity they hadn’t been given under the previous administration. At the conclusion of the meeting, the President took them to the Oval Office to honor them and show his appreciation for their outstanding work they do to keep our communities safe.
