The President鈥檚 Path: Shock and awe
Donald Trump has begun his second White House stint with a flurry of executive orders.
Donald Trump has begun his second White House stint with a flurry of executive orders. The new president began signing them more or less immediately after being sworn in for the second time. Eight years on from his first inauguration, the early signs are that he and his team have arrived in Washington ready to hit the ground running.
A deluge of new executive orders has effectively changed US laws relating to a host of issues, from immigration to the environment and beyond. On this episode, Caitr铆ona Perry, Sumi Somaskanda and Courtney Subramanian discuss how the new president is keeping several polarising promises made on the campaign trail, and how he may see parts of his agenda stymied by legal challenges.
