Americans respond to Trump's first week

If President Donald Trump was polarized during his election campaign, his first week again was no different.

He officially took an oath as the 47th President of the United States on Monday before signing hundreds of executive actions, turning the policies of President Joe Biden's administration and fulfilling many of the promises he made during the campaign.

We talked to 10 Americans from all over the political spectrum about how they felt for the week.

Here are their big conclusions.

Not everyone we talked to were watching the events closely, but almost everyone had an opinion on an unconventional day that he saw time changes the traditionwith events and crowds moving inside.

Kyle Plas, 39, independent, voted for Trump: “I had the feeling that I was looking like WWE, a professional struggle. Only the rage, the show, the game in front of the cameras. You can say that the fun is a large part of Donald Trump's credo, unlike in whether you had Barack Obama or Joe Biden took office. “

Greg Bruno, 67, Republican, voted for Trump: “I think Trump has proven that he is a people from the people when he threw these pens into the audience after signed the executive orders in front of 20,000 people. That just showed you who it really works for. “

Richard Weil, 74, Independent, who votes for Kamala Harris: “(His speech on taking office) was not as gloomy as his first speech (in 2017), but it was certainly bitter. There was nothing in it to say good things about America. “

Angela Ramos, 37, Independent, who votes for Harris: “I found a large part of Trump's speech as insincere because he mentioned specific things such as justice, honor, honesty, reliability, but these are not the qualities that I think are reflected in his politics or behavior … I looked at him from a sense of civilian debt. “

During his first week, Trump signed hundreds of enforcement action, which dealt with big ones – including immigration and economy – and small issues, such as the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico and the announcement of files related to the murder of President John Kennedy. You can catch up hereS

Larry Keys, 47, Republican, voted for Trump: “I was happy (of executive orders). There were so many of them. I couldn't track them. Obviously he is no ordinary politician – most politicians will hear one thing, and they will do something else. “

Tony Fleklin, 69, Republican, voted for Trump: “You can expect behavior from it, which will be different from what you usually encounter. But in general, his policies regarding border protection, economic sufficiency, oil and gas, I support with all my heart. “

Greg Bruno, Republican: “That is why he was elected. Many of these commandments include questions that the US public wants to see performed. These are promises that were made during the campaign and he fulfills them.”

The voters who voted for Kamala Harris said they did not like Trump's election very much, especially with regard to climate, health and his decision to pardon supporters convicted of crimes related to Capitol's rebellion on January 6th. Others doubt who can affect Trump's future actions.

Carlin Jogensen, 40, independent who votes for Harris: “I did not like the fact that the first row were mainly CEOs – that you had Ilon Musk and (Jeff) Bezos in the front row. For me, I just felt like – do we go to the oligarchy at that moment? “

Angela Ramos, independent: “The biggest concern for me is the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreements and the World Health Organization, simply because our actions have really deep consequences not only for us in the United States, but for the whole world.”

David Lik, 58, Democrat who votes for Harris: “I felt that he was essentially at the basis of the actions he took with regard to the pardon and the cancellation of the convictions of the rebels from January 6th. I felt it was revenge and sending the wrong message to the American people. “

Both supporters and critics said they believe President Trump is approaching his second term with greater urgency than the first.

Greg Bruno, Republican: “He went into his first presidency under attack … You put a person in a defensive position when you are attacked that way. This presidency does not have this element. So he not only comes that he is not attacked, but he comes as a man with extensive experience in how to exercise the power of the presidency. “

Shanton Mazumdar, 58, Democrat who votes for Harris: “I think he got a little harder, firmer, felt. I think he is a little encouraged by his voters and the people who supported him. I think he was given a little more … Freedom to be to the right than he was before. “

Richard Weil, Independent: “I think he is more concentrated. I think he's more outrageous, she is more shocking… but I think he becomes a bitter old man. I think he has changed and I think he has changed for the worse. “

Tony Fleklin, Republican: “I am happy that he keeps his promises. Sometimes his methods are a little Draconovsky. This is just the nature of Donald J. Trump. He will not be weak for the way he approaches things. “
