In the wake of Trump's first full week in office here's a quick recap of what's gone
down: Trump has signed an executive order blocking refugees from war-torn countries
from entering the US and ordered construction to begin on the Mexican border wall, he signed
an executive order aimed at rolling back Obamacare, and announced plans to investigate what he's
imagining as millions of illegal voters who took to the polls this past November
It's been a long week.
The Washington Post ran a story profiling just how incredibly bored and un-interested
trump seems to be with actually running the country.
Politico source said aides have to "push back privately" against Trump's "worst impulses,"
including anger-promoting TV:
"He gets bored and likes to watch TV, this person said, so it is important to minimize
that."
and according to the same source:
"People close to him don't like saying no but that it has to be done.You can't do it
in front of everyone.
He's never going to admit he's wrong in front of everyone.
You have to pull him aside and tell him why he's wrong, and then you can get him to go
along with you.
These people don't know how to get him to do what they need him to do."
According to Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian,
"The truth of the matter is he had a successful inauguration with a respectful crowd.
The transition of power went off without a hitch.
His supporters were amiable by and large.
But then he can never let go and stop watching cable TV.
Now he's off to the worst start of a presidency in a very long time."
It also turns out that tweets are contributing to the president's allegedly fragile emotional
state again from the New York Times
"Mr. Trump grew increasingly angry on Inauguration Day after reading a series of Twitter messages
pointing out that the size of his inaugural crowd did not rival that of Mr. Obama's in
2009.
But he spent his Friday night in a whirlwind of celebration and affirmation.
When he awoke on Saturday morning, after his first night in the Executive Mansion, the
glow was gone, several people close to him said, and the new president was filled anew
with a sense of injury."
We're only a week into Trump's presidency and we're all in uncharted waters.
