It’s a long tradition in American politics to evaluate a president by what he has accomplished in his first 100 days in office. Like so many other traditions of the presidency, Donald Trump has changed that. In his second term, he has been moving so fast on so many policy fronts that it will take a while to digest what he has done in the first 100 hours.
Trump’s arrival has been a shock to the system in Washington. With his barrage of executive actions, he has simply overwhelmed the ability of the media and the political opposition to keep up with him. Trump’s opponents have been forced to choose which actions to resist and which to let slide, or at least just nominally resist. They simply don’t have the resources or the energy to mount a full-scale challenge to everything.
