Warren: Trump 'all talk' on Wall Street

Source: The Hill

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) tore into President Trump on Saturday over his efforts to dismantle Obama-era financial regulations, arguing that the real estate mogul's attacks on Wall Street during the campaign were "all talk."

Trump's "actions in his first 100 days have shown his tough talk against Wall Street and big corporations was just that: all talk," Warren wrote on Twitter.

Trump signed a series of orders on Friday directing Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to review Obama-era tax regulations and financial rules, including parts of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, which Trump vowed to dismantle while on the campaign trail.

One directs the Treasury Department to review the process by which financial institutions are designated "too big to fail." Another orders a review of the federal government's orderly liquidation authority, which creates a process for dissolving large financial firms.

Like ACA, once people realized how much killing "Obama care" would hurt them personally they fought a bit harder against Republicans with success.

IMO Warren needs to be very specific, much more specific especially with places like "The Hill" trying again to generalize effects on American people. The Hill is pro Republican "side" in their "reporting" IMO.
