“I think President Trump doesn’t get nearly enough credit for the changes that he’s brought about that are unrelated to legislation,” McConnell (R-Ky.) said in an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union.

McConnell, who has long sought to cut back federal regulations, said that Trump’s changes to commissions, such as the SEC, the National Labor Relations Board, and the Food and Drug Administration, have “impact on the growth in this country.”

“Donald Trump being elected president and Republicans having a majority in the House and Senate give us an opportunity to accomplish something really important for the country, to get it growing again,” the Senate Majority Leader said.
