CNN's Chris Cuomo: Trump Is "Getting Stuff Done"; Lists Negative Effects Of Achievements

CNN's Chris Cuomo explains some of what President Trump has accomplished since taking office, and how it might impact you. From Thursday's New Day:





CUOMO: The chaos coming out of the White House and the defeat of health care can mask the fact that this administration is actually getting stuff done in a variety of areas, moves that could impact your life for years to come.



President Trump got his pick, Neil Gorsuch, on the Supreme Court. He could have the opportunity to nominate more justices. But Trump is also quietly filling up lower courts with lifetime appointees, and that can impact the judiciary for decades.



Environmental policy, Trump famously pulled out of the Paris accord, but he's also moving to roll back the clean power plants, the waters of the United States rule that protects smaller bodies of water and the Arctic drilling ban.



President Trump has slashed or delayed hundreds of business regulations. He's also attempting to roll back parts of the Dodd- Frank bill, passed in the wake of the financial crisis, effectively making it easier for those on Wall Street to once again gamble recklessly. He's also hobbling the Consumer Protection Agency.



Despite Trump's displeasure with his attorney general, he is getting it done for Trump, Mr. Sessions, strengthening civil asset forfeiture rules, allowing police to seize cash and goods from people only suspected of crimes, also supporting Texas's controversial voter ID law and pursuing the harshest of senses for the lowest level drug offenses. That will put people in jail long after President Trump is no longer in office.



So, what else do we know about what's getting down and what it will mean? ...



And what do you make of the quietly part, what is sometimes called the shadow government, the faces behind the big names and the brash talk?
