Trump’s first 100 days – and the rapid remaking of a nation

During last year’s presidential campaign, Donald Trump constantly repeated his intention to bring about dramatic change as soon as he returned to the White House.
But few expected it to come at such breakneck speed.
In the three months since he took the oath of office, the 47th president has deployed his power in a way that compares to few predecessors.
In stacks of bound documents signed off with a presidential pen and policy announcements made in all caps on social media, his blizzard of executive actions has reached into every corner of American life.
To his supporters, the shock-and-awe approach has been a tangible demonstration of an all-action president, delivering on his promises and enacting long-awaited reforms.
