It isn’t as if he hasn’t already had an extraordinarily eventful day, but after church services, tea, a swearing-in, an inaugural address, another speech to supporters, a review of the troops, a luncheon, another speech, and a trek to Capital One Arena to address 20,000 supporters there and sign several executive orders, President Donald Trump headed to the Oval Office to sign even more executive orders. (After that, he’s set to attend inaugural balls.)
And it wasn’t just that he signed a whole slew of executive orders; it’s that he did so while simultaneously shooting the breeze with reporters, discussing a wide variety of issues. It was something to behold.
Earlier in the evening, he pardoned roughly 1,500 J6 defendants and withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accords, a move that prompted former Vice President Al Gore to fret.
