Here Is What Donald Trump Wants To do In His First 100 Days* FIRST, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress; * SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health); * THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated; * FOURTH, a 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service It is clear that he has no clue how government works. Certainly, some of his legislative priorities match those of a Republican House and Senate. Most of this stuff would be a disaster.

I really doubt he will be able to get a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress. 3/4th of the states need to ratify something to make it a Constitutional Amendment. It usually takes years. Not to mention that he's proposing to limit terms of the very people who need to pass the bill! Like that's ever going to happen.
Many federal programs are authorized by law: He would need to continue those programs which may require hiring people to do the work. So to freeze all hiring he has to change a whole bunch of laws, and all those laws are there because somebody wanted them.
Third, I don't see a lot of new regulations coming out of a Trump administrations, so he can fulfill this promise by doing absolutely nothing.
Fourth, fine with me. This is a Liberal idea.

Sure, I welcomed him back in the Roundtable.
I just think Trump is a compulsive liar, and almost everything he has promised his supporters will take a very long time (if ever), and either be implemented in a half-assed manner or not at all. Most of his promises are of the "Let's make pi = 3.0" variety: Not physically or economically possible
For example, the idea of not letting Muslims into America has already vanished from Trump's website.

Trump Picks Top Climate Skeptic to Lead EPA Transition We had a small window to actually do something about climate change. Humanity had a good run. There are times when I'm glad I don't have children.

Of all the bad things that come out of this, this will have the greatest impact on the planet.
