Other executive orders related to the environment or related to tariffs, those things are, I think, really wrecking havoc on our country right now. I definitely think Congress should be doing more. That's their job. They're supposed to be creating the laws and making the laws. And the politicians have just completely taken a backseat. And I think that is bad precedence.
going forward because we have this system of checks and balances. And if we get rid of that, then we are, I think, going more towards, I hate to say it, but a dictatorship. I would like to see President Trump focus more on creating jobs for people in the U.S., yes, but not in the way that he's doing it. I would also like to see him focus on
immigration, but by encouraging Congress to pass laws that make it easier for people to come to the U.S. legally and have more of a compassionate attitude towards it and do the jobs they're already doing for us.
As soon as another president comes in, they're going to write new executive orders. And so they're going to upend anything that has already been done, which President Trump has been doing. He's upended a lot of things. And now when a new president comes in, he's going to do he or she will do the same thing. And it's just going to continue to happen over and over.
There is a process in place for creating laws and those kinds of things. And executive orders, I think, should be used sparingly. Do I think that President Trump is using his executive orders for the right things? Definitely not. I'm particularly concerned.
incensed about the executive orders getting rid of DEI, because I just think that that is something that a lot of people don't even understand. They don't even really know what diversity, equity, and inclusion mean, and they're using it as quotas, which has nothing to do with that. So that's been a real frustration for me.
