A Year After He Was Elected What's Changed Under President Trump ?
A lot has changed in the year since  Donald Trump  was elected president  but some things remain pretty much the same. As we mark the first anniversary of that election  NPR's Scott Horsley looks at the impact  Trump  has had on Washington policymaking and at the policies that remain stubbornly resistant to change.
SCOTT HORSLEY  BYLINE: During the presidential campaign   Donald Trump  often promised to bring big change to Washington almost overnight.
 PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP : We're going to rescind all the job-destroying Obama executive actions.
 TRUMP : ...And elect a Republican Congress  we will be able to immediately repeal and replace Obamacare - have to do it.
HORSLEY: OK. We know that last one turned out to be a little more complicated than the president expected. Change in Washington often comes slowly - just ask former President Obama. Despite his dire warnings during the campaign about what a  Trump  victory would mean  Obama told The New Yorker shortly after the election he expected much of his legacy would survive.
HORSLEY: Obamacare is not the only piece of the last president's agenda that's proven hard for  Trump  to undo. Although  Trump  announced with considerable fanfare  his  intent to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement  that turns out to be a multiyear-long process. Even  Trump 's selection of a new Federal Reserve chairman last week was mostly a signal of continuity.
HORSLEY: Jason Furman was an economic adviser in the Obama White House. Some  Trump  efforts have run into legal roadblocks  like the proposed ban on transgender service members. In other important ways  though   Trump  has begun leaving  his  mark. Senior Vice President Neil Bradley of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce says  Trump  has led the biggest rollback of regulations since Ronald Reagan  a move that's been welcomed by many of the chamber's members.
HORSLEY: Immigration is another area where the election's had big consequences.  Trump  has slashed the number of refugees the U.S. takes in. Deportations from the nation's interior have jumped 34 percent since  Trump  took office. John Malcolm of The Heritage Foundation says immigration officers are now casting a much wider net.
JOHN MALCOLM: There is no question that  President Trump  ran on a get tough on immigration stance. And I think you're already seeing that in terms of the number of deportations  and also the number of people who are attempting to enter our country.
HORSLEY:  Trump 's EPA has also begun the lengthy process of lifting restrictions on greenhouse gases from power plants. Kate Larsen  who monitors carbon pollution for the Rhodium Group  says that move won't be felt right away  but it will make a difference 5 or 10 years from now.
HORSLEY:  Trump  has also rattled foreign policy circles with provocative rhetoric  calling the Iran nuclear deal an embarrassment  for example  and threatening to pull out of the North American Free Trade Agreement. Congress and  his  own advisers have tried to sand off some of the president's rougher edges  but the rest of the world has taken notice. Derek Chollet of the German Marshall Fund says if  Trump  follows through on a narrowly defined America-first agenda  other countries will go their own way.
HORSLEY: During the president's Asia trip  for example  other countries will relaunch their effort to forge an Asia-Pacific trade pact minus the United States. Meanwhile  one of the biggest changes on the president's drawing board is the tax overhaul. That measure could have a dramatic effect on business  government coffers  the federal deficit and income inequality if it makes it through Congress.  Trump  has an ambitious timetable for the tax plan  hoping to sign it by the end of the year. But even if the ship of state moves more like Obama's ocean liner than a speedboat   Captain Trump  is determined to chart a very different course. Scott Horsley  NPR News.
