You have missed a lot.
Here is an unemotional list of what has happened, with 4 observations of mine tossed in(points 9-12).
- Trump revealed what the NJ Drones really were in the first week, as he had promised...or not
- Trump ended the Ukrainian war in the first week, as he had promised...or not.
- Trump initiated all the tariffs in the first week, as he had promised...or not.
- Trump continues to try and just take Greenland, as he indicated.
- Trump is making a bunch of federal workers work in offices, even if there are no offices for them to work in, as he had promised.
- Trump is reducing spending, as he had promised.
- Trump pardoned j6 people who illegally broke into a Federal building to stop a lawful act and beat police in the process.
- Trump is wasting money by flying people to Colombia on a military cargo jet instead of the less expensive flights that have been commonplace.
- Trump and Melania approved having their names tied to meme coins and are raking in millions of dollars in transaction fees because we have a lot of stupid people in this country.
- Trump got a handful of the wealthiest people in the world to do a 180 and financially support his inauguration...but not to curry favor...of course not.
- Trump continues to let Musk say and do whatever the 17 he wants, and is apparently cool with Musk doing clear Nazi salutes...because he is a man-child and it wasnt actually a deplorable salute, but rather a neuro-divergent's endearing attempt at expressing emotion thanking the crowd for saving America. Yeah, thats the ticket!
- Trump is using Executive Orders, the very thing he has complained about being overused countless times, to initiate a ton of pet projects because he thinks receiving 1.5% more of the vote means he has a 'mandate'.
All seriousness- it was exactly what I would have guessed. It was a bunch of handwringing and stopping DEI, and Woke, and Trans. It was a bunch of musings and causal threats directed at citizens and other countries.
It was not about stopping international wars.
It was not about making citizens safer.
It was not about making citizens healthier.
It was not about making citizens wealthier.
It was not about making housing more affordable.
It was not about making education better.
It was not about fixing a broken immigration system.
It was not about lowering grocery costs.
It was not about making our air, land, and waterways cleaner.
It was not about improving our infrastructure.
None of the issues that are substantive were addressed. It was just the first week and those issues are really difficult and complex.
