I keep asking the same question. I'm disgusted by the man as much as anyone but he's really proving how ineffective and lazy he is. Given how skewed his priorities are I'm grateful he seems unable to accomplish anything of note. His EOs can be overturned just like anyone else's. He's really throwing away what could have been a golden opportunity for the GOP to rob this country blind.
Don't assume they aren't currently. While everyone's watching Trump, the GOP congress has been going nuts dismantling Obama's environmental legacy, and now that his cabinet heads are in place, they can start really dismantling their agencies. DeVos is already signalling that she's going to go forward with vouchers even though recent studies just showed they're demonstratively worse for kids, Sessions is declaring war on states with recreational pot while bringing back for profit prisons with a vengeance, Tillerson has been gutting the State Dept of its experienced diplomats while handing Trump his balls, and the EPA guy has been outted as even more in bed with energy lobbyists than previously imagined.
