In an interview with Scripps News, D-New York Rep. Dan Goldman expressed strong concern about President Donald Trump’s recent executive order, which puts independent government agencies under administrative control. Goldman argued that Trump’s actions represent an unprecedented extension of the administration and compromised the independence of agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
“Donald Trump wants to put everything under his thumb so that all administrative agencies can be used for his own personal interests and for his own political retaliation. I want to,” Goldman told Scripps News. “It’s absolutely lawless in many different ways, including the fact that it has to go back to Congress so that it doesn’t become independent.”

The president has been used for a long time to carry out the agenda. To date, President Trump has signed 70 executive orders. Throughout his four-year term, President Joe Biden signed 162.
However, Goldman argues that President Trump has gone too far to implement the executive order and ignored a court order that temporarily stopped Trump from enacting his order.
“If there is no rule of law, we cannot rely on court orders and cannot be trusted, it will not only undermine our government, but will undermine all contracts entered in this country, and ultimately It ruins the foundation of our democracy, our economy, and certainly our government,” he said.
Goldman, who led the House Democrats’ perm-perm trial against President Trump in 2019, said the president had committed “dozens of perm-perm-perm crimes” in his first 30 days of office.

Trump was voted strictly in the House of Representatives by a political party-based vote. There was only one Republican at the time. Mitt Romney convicted President Trump in the Senate.
“He’s violating the constitution on the right, left and center. The reality is that Republicans control the House, and they control the Senate,” Goldman said. “And while they are not only controlled by the majority, they must lead all kinds of ammo each investigations, they demonstrate the spine, will and resolve that only supports their power. They give. They just leave their own authority in Congress and hand it over to Donald Trump.”
