Trump's first week in office

Synopsis

Donald Trump's first week in office in Washington is marked by a series of significant announcements and controversies. He focuses on new pipelines from Canada and the construction of a wall with Mexico. Amid these policy discussions, Trump fixates on the size of his inauguration crowd, claiming it was larger than Barack Obama's, despite evidence to the contrary. He pressures the head of the Park Service for nonexistent photographs to support his claims. Additionally, Trump raises allegations of voter fraud, asserting that he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by three million votes due to illegal votes. This obsession with crowd size and voter fraud overshadows his policy announcements, as noted by Dmitry, who highlights the unusual focus on media coverage rather than substantive governance.
