Eight Months In, What Trump Has Been (Un)Doing

Congress is barely back in session and President Trump has already struck a deal with Democrats in order to fund the government, extend the nation's borrowing limit and provide financial aid to victims of Hurricane Harvey. If this deal passes, it will only last three months, at which point, everything goes back on the table for negotiations. At the same time, the President is eager to focus on tax reform (or at least tax cuts), legislation to replace DACA and funding the "Wall" along the U.S. and Mexican border.

Until this deal, the White House, and Congress, had been criticized by some for not accomplishing very much since President Trump took office. But in reality, Trump has been busy, at least when it comes to reversing the actions of previous presidents, especially President Obama. 

"I think the theme is undo everything that the previous guy did," said Catherine Rampell, opinion writer for the Washington Post, "regardless of whether it's a good idea or a bad idea." 

This week on Money Talking, Charlie Herman talks with Catherine Rampell, an opinion columnist at the Washington Post, about what's getting "undone" at the White House and what it could mean.
