Matt Miller: Executive Orders Are Only as Good as Press Releases

‘He made a lot of unrealistic promises during the campaign and wants to show he’s doing something so he’s putting forward these executive orders’

EXCERPT:

MILLER: "He can issue executive orders but what we've seen over the last few days, President Trump made a lot of unrealistic promises during the campaign and he wants to show that he's doing something so he's putting forward these executive orders. A lot of them are really just press releases masquerading as executive orders. The wall is a great example. That executive order won't do anything to build the wall. He is still going to have to get funding from Congress. What he's doing is raising expectations again and when he comes back and isn't able to get any funding, which I think is likely to be the outcome, he'll have a big backlash from his supporters on his hands."
