Trump's Presidential Strategy and Organization
Donald Trump's first days in office are characterized by a stark reversal of Biden-era policies, emphasizing themes like border security, deregulation, and reciprocal trade. This decentralized approach to governance, while disruptive, allows Trump to pursue these goals without the bureaucratic hurdles seen in previous administrations. The current administration’s organization appears more structured than in 2017, facilitating a steady stream of executive orders that reflect campaign promises. The result is a palpable sense of energy within the administration, with a clear focus on Trump's core priorities.
