The executive orders by Trump did more to back Pelosi and the Dems into a corner than it did anything else. Pelosi has three options, negotiate, take a Trump to court, or do nothing.
If the Dems file suite they stand a good chance of winning in court, but are going to lose by looking like they don’t care what happens to laid off Americans.
If they do nothing they concede victory to Trump and he uses having to act through executive action as a campaign topic.
The option to negotiate now has done a 180, Pelosi cannot blame the lack of negotiation on Trump and the GOP and she will now just be able to get what was reasonable to begin with.
Trump wasn’t able to do a lot by EO, but what he did do is likely to not be implemented as I would expect swift negotiations to take place this week.
