“I think we’re going to do things that people would be shocked at,” President Donald Trump declared on his second day in office. It was one of the few true things he said all week.
The crush of vindictive, cruel, unconstitutional and just plain bonkers orders and actions coming from the restored Trump administration in its first week makes even the worst-case predictions look conservative. But if you’re feeling knocked off-kilter by the fire hose of bad policies, well, you’re in good company. Trump himself seems downright bewildered.
