5 things Trump is doing that liberals probably actually like

There seems to be an infinite numberof issues President Donald Trump and his liberal opposition vehemently disagree on.But there are ahandful of policies the new administrationis championing that liberals can get behind, including large-scale infrastructure investment and paid family leave.Here are five things Trump is doing that "the resistance" may actually be in favor of.Scrapping the TPPPresident Donald Trump fulfilled his campaign promise to withdraw fromthe Trans-Pacific Partnership, which he previously called a "rape of our country," during his first day in office.The TPPchampioned by President Barack Obama as an expansion of theNorth American Free Trade Agreementwas derided by many liberals, including Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, who argued it would enrich American and foreign corporations at the expense of American workers, whose jobs would disappear and wages decline. Criticism of the TPP from both the political left and right forced Hillary Clinton to back away from her support for the deal during the presidential election.A $1 trillion infrastructure planIn another break from Republican orthodoxy, Trump campaigned on the promise to invest billions of federal dollars in national infrastructure.The presidentreiterated this priorityduring his speech to a joint session of Congress in late February, calling for a $1 trillion investment in "anew program of national rebuilding." "Crumbling infrastructure will be replaced with new roads, bridges, tunnels, airports and railways, gleaming across our very very beautiful land," Trump said.Conservatives are deeply skeptical of the effort, but Democrats have long pushed for increased infrastructure spending. Last month,Senate Democrats introduced a $1 trillion infrastructure building plan that they say will create 15 million jobs over a decade.Protecting Social Security and MedicareTreasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin confirmed in late Februarythat the Trump administration will not make cuts to major entitlement programs, including Social Security and Medicareat least for now. "We are not touching those now. So don't expect to see that as part of this budget," Mnuchin toldFox News.Throughout his presidential campaign, Trump promised to protect the social welfare programs, in a break from fellow Republicans.Sen. Bernie Sanders has repeatedly called on Trump to stay true to his word,tweeting in January, "Either Donald Trump lied to the American people or he's got to say that he will veto any cuts to Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security."But under the GOP's newly proposed American Health Care Act, federal funding for Medicaid would be significantly reduced.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
