Trump promised disruption. That’s exactly what he’s delivering.
The assumption — even after Trump was elected — seems to be that he either a) didn’t really believe many of the things he said on the campaign trail or b) wouldn’t spend the political capital necessary to attempt their implementation.
The first week of the Trump presidency suggests that those assumptions were deeply misguided. Trump meant exactly what he said and appears totally committed to executing on the campaign promises he made in spite of the furor they might cause.
.. My point is only this: Trump is governing almost exactly how he said he would during a campaign that he won. No one should be surprised.
