Action on Day One!
Today, President Trump invited the press to film him signing new executive orders.
The first was an order to remove the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations.
The second was a freeze on Federal hiring, except for the military (as Trump pointed out).
Watch (via C-SPAN):

From the video:
Reince Priebus: “We’re going to sign three memorandums right now. The first one is a withdrawal of the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership.”
President Trump: “Everyone knows what that means, right? We’ve been talking about this for a long time. Great thing for the American worker, what we just did.”
Reince Priebus: “Next, the Federal government employee hiring freeze.”
President Trump: “Except for the military. Except for the military.”
Moving fast and getting things done on Day One.
A good day for all Americans!
