In a whirlwind of action, President Donald Trump has transformed the American political landscape in just ten weeks. Leveraging executive power like no predecessor, Trump has aimed to silence opposition, dramatically reduce the federal workforce, and reshape social institutions through a series of decisive executive orders.

Trump's aggressive maneuvers have left adversaries stunned. He's targeted a wide array of entities including universities, media outlets, and international allies. The administration's strategic use of threats, lawsuits, and federal funding cuts has coerced several high-profile organizations into settlement, raising concerns about the balance of power.

Despite these significant strides, Trump's actions face substantial judicial scrutiny, with multiple lawsuits challenging his policies. Critics argue these unprecedented moves echo autocratic practices, while supporters claim Trump is fulfilling campaign promises with bold, unconventional tactics.
