Kyle Plesssa, 39, an independent who voted for Trump: “I felt that I was seeing as WWE, professional struggle. Only bustle, show, the game for the cameras. It shows that entertainment is a large part of Donald Trump’s creed instead of whether you had Barack Obama or Joe Biden inaugurated,” .

Greg Bruno, 67, a Republican who voted for Trump: “I think Trump showed that he is a man of the people when he threw those pen to the audience after signing the executive orders in front of 20,000 people. He simply showed you who is working for.”

Richard Weil, 74, an independent who voted for Kamala Harris: “(His inaugural speech) was not as dark as his first speech (in 2017), but he was certainly bitter. There was nothing there that said good things about the United States.”

Angela Ramos, 37, an independent who voted for Harris: “I found that much part of Trump’s speech was false, because he mentioned specific things such as justice, honor, integrity, reliability, but these are not qualities that I think are reflected in their policy or in their behavior … I saw him get out of a sense of civic duty. “

During his first week, Trump signed hundreds of executive actions that addressed large problems, including immigration and economics, and small, such as changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico and releasing files related to the murder of President John F Kennedy. You can update here.

Larry Kees, 47, a Republican who voted for Trump: “I was happy (with the executive orders). There were so many of them. I could not follow up. Obviously it is not a regular politician, with most politicians, you will hear one thing and will do another.”

Tony Flecklin, 69, a Republican who voted for Trump: “You can expect a behavior of him that will be different from what you normally are. But in general, its policies in terms of border protection, economic sufficiency, oil and gas, I am of all my heart in favor.”

Greg Bruno, a Republican: “That is why he was chosen. Many of these orders involve problems that the American public wants to see. Those are promises that were made in the campaign and are fulfilling them.”

The voters who cast their vote for Kamala Harris said they did not like many of Trump’s elections, particularly in the weather, the health and their decision to forgive the supporters convicted of crimes related to the disturbance of the Capitol of January 6 . Others questioned who could influence Trump’s future actions.

Carlyn Jorgensen, 40, an independent who voted for Harris: “I did not like the fact that the front row was essentially CEO, that you had Elon Musk and (Jeff) Bezos in the first row. That, for me, I felt like: Did we go to an oligarchy at this time? “

Angela Ramos, an independent: “The deepest thing is the deviation of the climate agreements of Paris and the World Health Organization, simply because our actions have really deep consequences, not only for us within the United States, but for the entire world.”

David Lieck, 58, a Democrat who voted for Harris: “I felt that he is essentially pleased to his base in the action he took with respect to the pardons and the trip of the prayers of the rioters of January 6. I felt that was vindictive and sent the wrong message to the American people.”

Both supporters and critics said they felt that President Trump was approaching his second term with more urgency than the first.

Greg Bruno, a Republican: “He entered his first presidency under attack … You put a person in a defensive crouch when you are under such an attack. This presidency does not have that element. So he is not only seeing under attack, but also comes as a highly experienced person on how to exercise the power of the presidency. “

Shantonu Mazumdar, 58, a Democrat who voted for Harris: “I think he has become a little harder, a tougher line, he feels like. It is, I think, emboldened a little by his voters and the people who have supported him. I think it has been given a little more … Freedom to be further to the right than it was before. “

Richard Weil, an independent: “I think he’s more concentrated. I think it’s more angry, it’s more vindictive … but I think he’s becoming a bitter old man. I think he has changed and I think he has changed for worse.”

Tony Flecklin, a Republican: “I am happy that I am following with what their promises were. Sometimes their methods are a bit draconian. That is just the nature of Donald J. Trump. It will not be weak about the way he addresses things.”
