3. The one about evictions

is just a campaign letter with legalese sprinkled in. It sounds more like suggestions and a list of preferences than anything else. Once again, Trump thinks he only has to make it look like he's doing something. I fear it will only reduce the urgency to pass real legislation so that Trump can crow that he did something great and powerful as part of his campaign.
