As I prepared to write an assessment of President Donald J. Trump’s first month in office, I realized I had the wrong perspective.
Certainly, this has been the most revolutionary month of any modern presidency. It far exceeds the pace of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s famous 100 days.
President Trump has recruited an exceptional, entrepreneurial cabinet of smart, successful people. They know how to get things done. With Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s efforts, and Vice President J.D. Vance’s careful attention to Senators and nominees, 18 out of 22 nominees have been approved in just 31 days.
The administration has effectively uprooted the left’s imposition of DEI, wokeism, transgenderism, and other ideological causes most Americans deeply oppose. The speed of executive orders and budget cuts has been historic. In one month, the Trump administration has terminated entire agencies and uncovered billions of dollars in crazy and corrupt spending.
After decades of politicians promising to shrink big government, President Trump recruited Elon Musk. Musk is the wealthiest man in the world – and a genius in engineering, technology, and entrepreneurial achievement. Together, they created a Department of Government Efficiency. Musk recruited a brilliant group of young information specialists who knew how to analyze government activities despite bureaucratic resistance and obstruction.
The Trump-Musk partnership began accomplishing two distinct historic breakthroughs. First, the DOGE clearly identified waste, fraud, and outrageously leftwing spending. This confirmed the average American’s belief that government could be cut dramatically. Second, for the first time an American President had a system of accountability which ensured executive orders were implemented in a timely fashion.
Each breakthrough was revolutionary in its own right.
