A few weeks in and Trump has essentially:
- Full control of the (federal part of the) legislative branch.
- Gutted the executive branch through DOGE and EOs.
- Practically DDOSed the judicial branch.
- Purged and replaced possibly disloyal military leadership.
- Taken exploratory steps on declaring military law.
- Made very thinly veiled threats of invasion towards several countries, two of which are currently allied with him.
- Wiped out more than a century of foreign policy gains in a week (which is honestly somewhat impressive, in a fucked up kind of way).
