The Inauguration
The Inauguration took place on January 20. After Vice-President Mike Pence was sworn in at 11:42 A.M. (local Time), Donald J. Trump took his oath at noon. After it, he gave his Inaugural Address, which led to many questions for me. For example: Why does he have to repeat so many of his sentences? It’s not the kind of repetition which goes into your head, but the annoying one where you think that the guy who speaks only got a 300-word dictionary in total. Also regarding the content: Does he know that only a slow system of government will lead to prosperity and wealth for all in the long term? Instead, he accuses every politician of being corrupt. As someone who is the head of the system, he should face the problems, but not create demons where no demons are.

Executive Orders and other Legislation
The first four executive orders were signed in his first week.
The first one, as mentioned above, effectively minimized the effort of any federal agency regarding health care. I, personally think that the topic of healthcare is simply too important to give the competence to the free markets or the States.
The second Order Trump signed, gave the Chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) enormous power. He is to decide which infrastructure projects are prioritized high or not. Agencies have to account for delays in such projects. This is an order I can agree with. It’s easier to get projects done when someone is in charge and others have to explain their actions.
A more controversial piece of legislation is about immigration. In section 5 Trump orders the executive branch to remove certain aliens. Bulletpoints (c) to (e) are by far the critical point. Even though no judge has charged them, foreigners can be removed when they commit a criminal offense. This means that, if they want to, illegals can be removed when somebody accuses them of a crime. He doesn’t have to be sentenced to jail before being removed, which is, in my opinion, insane.
“Wall-Order”: The fourth and last order of the week is the one to fulfill his promises to his voters. It says that there is to build a physical wall on the border with Mexico in order to stop criminals in drug- or human trafficking networks. It also implements a monthly statistic how many crimes were committed by foreigners, which may lead to prejudice against Latinos in general.
Other Topics
Press Secretary Sean Spicer told the Press on the day after the Inauguration that there were more people attending the ceremony than ever in history, which led to great laughter on the Internet because it’s simply not true. The day after the incident Kellyanne Conway, the counselor to the president, told that Spicer gave “alternative facts” and not lies, which also went viral.
Scientists in the US fear that they might be silenced if they still take climate change as a fact. For example, some NASA employees created @RogueNASA because they fear of being silenced by the government. Scientists in the US plan to make a “Scientist’s march” like the Women’s march at the start of the week.
Summary
In his first week in office, Trump made his first own decisions. For example, he started the project of his wall or made the turnover in the Mexico-City-Policy. Many Ambassadors have resigned as well as four high officials in the State Secretary in this week, which will lead to problems in his foreign policies. Also, the Mexican president refused to meet up with him after the Wall Order was signed because Mexico doesn’t want to pay for the wall as Trump wants them to do.
All in all, you can see that he has to face many problems in the foreign affairs. This will haunt him next months. Voters will be pleased by his fast way of making things, but this was the first week in which every step he made was strictly observed by the whole world. In some weeks the media will not look only on his Actions, but again on the whole worlds’.
Question of the Week
Do you think that the protectionism he tries to establish will work?

you commit a crime, don’t do one (Executive Orders and other Legislation 3rd paragraph), the same paragraph deported would be a more fitting choice of vocabulary, over removed

https://app.grammarly.com/ I can recommend this for your blog. It’s a free grammar and spell checker extension for your browser(I use chrome and it works perfectly) It’s quite effective and spots most mistakes, even those that are not misspelled but worded(i.e in instead of on). If you’re willing to pay for it, you will also be given tips on word choice such as exhausted instead of very tired. Language was invented for one reason boys: to woo women

Overall it’s a very good blog and I enjoyed reading it. On your question of the week: No I do not believe that Donald Trumps “security” measures will have any form of positive effect whatsoever.
a) the obvious one first: The Wall: Almost half of all 11 mio. undocumented immigrants in the states entered the country legally ( PolitiFact, sep 8 2015 40% of undocumented immigrants come by air), a border wall will not prevent illegal immigration in the form of overstaying Visas. Additionally(I’m ignoring the blatant impossibility of building this monstrosity and just looking at whether or not it could actually work) Immigration is a circular flow, people come in, work for a bit and then go back. Closing the borders will not prevent many from entering but it will scare and prevent them from leaving, skyrocketing the number of illegal immigrants as seen under Bush, Reagan and Clinton (Douglas S. Massey Phd, professor of sociology and public affairs at Princeton university). As for drug dealers, human trafficing and crime in general, one doesn’t need to be a Stephen Hawking to think of ladders and tunnnels that, considering the immense length of over 3.2 thousand km, it is simply impossible to monitor the entire border, at a km wide width to detect possible tunnel exists. For those who are determined to enter the US, a wall will not work.
b) allowing immigrants to be deported when accused of a crime: This piece of legislation is simply too easy to abuse, allowing the Alt-right and racist population to “get rid of” immigrants simply by accusing them of crimes they did not commit. Additionally, it goes against the UN Charta of human rights, denying these people the chance to a fair trial in wich they can be proven innocent, and the legal proverb: “innocent until proven guilty”
c)Banning inhabitants of 7 Muslim-majority countries: Aside from the fact that this blown greatly out of proportion, considering how little foreigners actually commit attacks on US-soil compared to their total numbers. There have been over 700 thousand middle eastern nonresidential visitors to the US in 2016 (http://travel.trade.gov/view/m-2016-I-001/table2.asp) compared to only 7 confirmed Islamists attacks(http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/terrorism/wrjp255a.html), multiple of wich, most notably the San Bernardino shooting, were committed by legal US residents. Additionally, such measures are easily bypassed by people intent on, or comfortable with breaking the law as a potential Terrorist would be, by simply entering the country illegally, something that, as mentioned previously, can never be fully prevented.
As a conclusion, we can see that Trumps measures on security are grossly blown out of proportion, not thought through and most likely very to completely ineffective

I can fully agree on your point of view. The sad thing is that the people who voted for Trump just see THAT he is actually doing something against illegal immigration, but don’t really get that his measured will not be effective and do great damage. Still, i’m counting on time to fix that error: in a year or so, people will start to reflect on what he is/was doing and come to the conclusion that it didn’t make anything better, if not worse.

It would have been better if they made these thoughts before they voted for him. But still, we’ve got 4 years with him so let’s enjoy it, as good as we can. Stay tuned for new articles and follow my blog to get weekly updates. 🙂
