President Trump Takes On Dodd-Frank (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

On the campaign trail, Donald Trump railed against a Wall Street he said was bleeding Americans dry. In the White House, President Trump is now pushing to loosen the reins on American banking. In an executive order signed Friday, he calls for taking apart the Dodd-Frank banking law passed after Wall Street threw the country into the 2008 financial crisis. He says it’s to free up the economy. Critics see a threat to the little guy. This hour in our On Point 100-Day Spotlight, President Trump and Wall Street. — Tom Ashbrook
