Tom Zawistowski, president of the Ohio-based We the People Convention, applauded President Donald Trump’s signing of 42 executive orders on Monday just hours after taking the oath of office, explaining how each order the president signed is “common sense.”
Trump signed a total of 42 executive orders, memoranda, and proclamations in the Oval Office on Monday which resulted in a combined 200 executive actions and 115 personnel actions.
Zawistowski described all of Trump’s actions as “common sense.”
“What Donald Trump is doing with these executive orders is getting the government the hell out of our way and letting Americans just run their lives,” Zawistowski explained on Tuesday’s edition of The Michael Patrick Leahy Show.
“There’s not a single thing he signed that you’d go, ‘Well, I don’t like that’ or, ‘That doesn’t make sense.’ You like it all, because you know what? We have met the enemy and it is us. We have been standing in our own way, and now we’re not. We’re getting out of the way,” Zawistowski added.
Zawistowski said Trump’s actions come as the president has surrounded himself with an “impressive” team that believes in the America First agenda.
“[Trump’s] experience from the first time around and the caliber of the people around him now is just impressive…RFK Jr. and Vance and all those guys are an America Team around Trump, and this, I think, is the most talented number of people around a president maybe in U.S. history,” Zawistowski said.
“It’s unbelievably assuring to us that they can get it done because they’ve got the best people trying to get it done,” Zawistowski added.
Reflecting on Trump’s inauguration speech, Zawistowski said his favorite part of the president’s speech was when he said, “I believe my life was saved for a reason – I was saved by God to Make America Great Again.”
“I think that’s the truth. I think that’s what Manifest Destiny is about. I think that’s what America is about, and it was very powerful,” Zawistowski said.
