I think the conversation went something like this (also similar for all recent Presidents), 'Mr. President, we found a way to help you keep your campaign promises, the border will be secure, and we will remove tax on tips. However, there are a few items we've had on our list for several decades, some you may like, others you may not. Shall we make a deal?'
Take a listen to the Lex Fridman episode with Ivanka Trump, she does a very good job of bringing to light the challenges of reshaping the government.
