Trump's latest executive order would speed approvals of permits for highways, bridges, pipelines and other major building efforts, without harming the environment.
"It's going to be quick. It's going to be a very streamlined process. And by the way, if it doesn't meet environmental safeguards, we're not going to approve it - very simple," Trump said at a press conference at Trump Tower in New York.
The order would set a two-year goal for completing permits needed on major infrastructure plans, and create a "one Federal decision" protocol that would appoint a lead federal agency to work with other agencies to complete the environmental reviews and permitting for infrastructure projects.
The administration proposes $200 billion in government funding over 10 years as part of a goal of getting $1 trillion in public and private infrastructure spending.
Clickbait thread title. Trump hasn't signed anything. You said he did in your title, then backslid and talked about all the great things that would happen IF he signed an infrastructure EO. Trump would MAGA IF he were a decent human being and president. But he isn't. Shoulda, woulda, coulda. So these ridiculous arguments are what Trumpeters are reduced to.

Executive Orders are mostly meaningless. He needs legislation. After the universal rejection of his Charlottesville response, his agenda (what is left of it after the huge Obamacare failure) is on life support. GOP Senators are backing away from supporting him on anything.

Why lie about it or is it just ignorance ? He signed the EO. That's a fact.
There is nothing concise on the EO. He has signed a crap load of EO's most of them very general and not implementable. He signed an EO to "fix healthcare" nothing has been done. I am not a trump supporter so I am content with that not much other than deregulation, which I guess it is what is, my feeling is once you start deregulating you are going to find out why the regulations were there in the first place and if they dont then we didn't need it so I am willing to go down that road.
If I was a trump supporter i would be pissed every time he signs this EO's full of platitudes that get nothing done or start any process definitively.

Liberals, and Obama lovers. The test results are back.
"The American Petroleum Institute said in a statement that the order reflects recommendations the oil industry lobby group submitted to the Commerce Department in March. The National Association of Home Builders also praised the Trump administration's move, saying the flood rules had raised the cost of housing."
My, President Trump does sign a lot of executive orders. Here is what he said about them in the past:
“Obama goes around signing executive orders. He can't even get along with the Democrats. He goes around signing all these executive orders. It's a basic disaster. You can't do it.”
"We have a president that can't get anything done so he just keeps signing executive orders all over the place.”
"I hate what Obama does with gun legislation. He doesn't talk to anybody. He goes out and signs executive orders. In theory you're supposed to the old fashioned way, get everybody into a room and get something people agree on.”
"I don't think [Obama] even tries anymore. I think he just signs executive actions.”
“Nobody wants to listen to [Obama], including the Democrats, so he just goes around signing executive orders."
President Trump, during his first 200 days, has signed 42 executive orders (I think 43 with the above).
I will note that Mr. Trump has played more rounds of golf (50) than he has signed EO's, so there is that.
