Why Trump 2.0 Has Been Fast and Furious: 'We Had the Chance to Plot'

Since President Trump invoked the words, "So help me God" on Inauguration Day, the non-stop flurry of activity has not slowed down one bit. It's been quite a difference from his first term as president. Back then, he signed 33 Executive Orders during his first 100 days. Now, in just the first three weeks, he has signed 59.

"The luxury of a second term is you don't have to run for reelection," says Corey Lewandowski, a senior advisor to President Trump. "You can just go in all in with your ideas."

The president also has more momentum this time around. In 2016, his victory came as a bit of a shock. By winning the popular vote in 2024, he now has more of a mandate. Eight years ago, only 49 percent approved of his inaugural address. This time around though it jumped to 62 percent. He also has a more supportive GOP in Congress that is wary of crossing him.
