Description

President Donald Trump closed his first day with an unprecedented show of executive force, signing dozens of executive orders, including orders to withdraw the U.S. from the World Health Organization, move to end birthright citizenship and grant TikTok a reprieve from a forced shutdown. Trump also pardoned or commuted the sentences of nearly every person who rioted on January 6, 2021, some 1,500 people. Playbook managing editor and author Jack Blanchard and chief Playbook correspondent Eugene Daniels talk through the biggest moments from Monday's inauguration, the impact that President Trump's earliest moves will have and what to expect next.
