Trump's First Couple Weeks Have Been a Whirlwind of Swamp-Draining Actions

Hey everybody, it’s Steve Skojec from The Skojec File.

I have to apologize for the light posting lately. I’ve been trying to finish up a project I’ve been working on that is outside the scope of this website, and my brain is wired for either total random distraction or pathological hyperfocus, with no middle ground. This time it’s been hyperfocus, so everything else disappears while I’m doing work like that.

But I wanted to give you all a few updates on some things that are going on in the political world that I think are worth making note of.

First, President Trump has been doing a political shock and awe campaign the likes of which nobody has ever seen. His first couple weeks in office have been a whirlwind of executive orders and bloat-slashing actions that have pretty much set the Left’s hair on fire.
