Trouble in Trump Town

In the week-plus since Donald J. Trump was inaugurated the highly touted – if, oversold – “peaceful transfer of power” has been anything but. The President has flooded the zone by signing Executive Orders and Memoranda by the score, increased his rhetoric demonizing the media, demanded the National Park Service back him up on his ridiculous claims about the size the crowd at his inauguration ceremony, reorganized the National Security Council by adding Steve Bannon while subtracting the Chairman of the Pentagon’s Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Director of National Intelligence; and, continued to insist that 5 million people illegally voted for Hillary Clinton.
