How President Trump Shifted Policy in His First Week

“President Trump’s blunt message after a whirlwind week of executive orders and presidential proclamations may boil down to this: Take me at my word,” the New York Times reports.

“During four years in political exile after his first term, Mr. Trump vowed to radically reshape American life, culture and politics if he got another chance. His first week has demonstrated that he will seek to do just that — and fast — as he races to make good on the promises that vaulted him back into power.”

“Not all of his directives will succeed in the end. But already, the United States is a different place than it was a week ago.”
