Trumps to do list

Trump was elected November 8, 2016.  What is posted below is in my estimation ambitious, but thats the type of man he is and leader we want.  Some of these seem bad, others good, but they are all sourced from his website, debates, tweets or interviews. Please feel free to suggest more in the comments section.  I'll mark them off as he achieves them. 

Updated  3-10-17
No discussion yet means no public statements or negotiations with Congress
No action means public statements made, but no action taken
In process means actions are being taken, but result not achieved yet

Updated 4/25
For legislation passed click Legislation passed.  Includes things like allowing mentally incapacitated people to purchase firearms legally, allowing pollution into streams and hunting hibernating bears.

Updated 5/4/18 - most actions have not been started or discussed.  Tax cuts were passed, but not nearly to the extent promised.  Moderate muslim ban is being decided by SCOTUS, but Muslims are still able to enter the country. Deportation and splitting of families remains a priority.  Debt to explode with the new budget. Syria is back and forth, in then out, then in then out with no coherent strategy other than to send some prewarned bombs once a year.

Updated 12/20  for NAFTA/USMCA, Syria and clean water changes
Updated 9/9/19 for coal, employment figures.
