Kyle Plesa, 39 years old, an independent candidate who voted for Trump: “I felt like I was looking like WWE, a professional struggle. Just noise, demonstration, game in front of cameras. We can say that entertainment is a large part of Donald Trump’s credo, unlike whether you had Barack Obama or Joe’s inauguration of Biden. “

Greg Bruno, 67 years old, Republican who voted for Trump: “I think Trump proved that he was a person from the people when he threw these pens into the audience after signing the decrees before 20,000 people. It just showed you who he really works. “

Richard Weil, 74, an independent candidate who voted for Kamal Harris: “(His inaugural speech) was not as gloomy as his first speech (in 2017), but it was definitely bitter. There was nothing good about America. “

Angela Ramas, 37 years old, an independent candidate who voted for Harris: “I found many speeches by Trump insincere because he mentioned such specific things as justice, honor, good faith, reliability, but these are not the qualities that, in my opinion, are displayed in his policies or behavior … I watched this A sense of civic duty. “

During the first week, Trump has signed hundreds of executive acts concerning large, including immigration and economics, and small problems such as the renaming of Mexican Gulf and publishing files related to President John Kennedy’s murder. You can catch up here.

Larry Kiz, 47 years old, Republican who voted for Trump: “I was happy (with decrees). There were so many of them. I couldn’t track. Obviously, he is not an ordinary politician – with most politicians you will hear one thing, but they will do another. “

69-year-old Tony Fleklin, a Republican who voted for Trump: “You can expect from his behavior that will be different from what you usually face. But in general, I fully support his policy in terms of protection of borders, economic enough, oil and gas. “

Greg Bruno, Republican: “That’s why he was chosen. Many of these orders concern the questions that the American public wants to see. These are the promises that were made during the campaign and it fulfills them. “

The voters who cast their votes for Kamal Harris said they did not like many of Trump’s elections, especially in climate, health care and his decision to pardon fans convicted of crimes related to the riots in Capitol on January 6. Others doubted who could affect Trump’s future actions.

Carlin Jorgensen, 40 years old, an independent candidate who voted for Harris: “I did not like the fact that in the first row were essentially general directors – that you had Ilon Musk and (Jeff) in the first row. This, in my opinion, just felt – do we move to the oligarchy at that moment? “

Angelo Ramas, independent: “I am most concerned about the departure from the Paris Climate Agreements and the World Health Organization simply because our actions have very serious consequences not only for us in the US but for the whole world.”

David Number, 58, Democrat who voted for Harris: “I felt that he was essentially indulging his base in the actions he had taken against pardon and mitigating the riots on January 6. I felt it was revenge and the wrong message to the American people. “

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

Greg Bruno, Republican: “He came to his first presidency under the attack … You make a person in a defensive position when you are undergoing such an attack. This presidency has no element. So, he not only does not come under the attack, but he comes as a person with extensive experience in how to possess the power of the president. “

Chanton Mazumdar, 58, Democrat who voted for Harris: “I think he became a little tougher, tougher, such a feeling. He, I think, is a little encouraged by his constituents and people who support him. I think he was given a little more … Freedom to be on the right than he was before. “

Richard Wil, Independent: “I think it is more focused. I think he’s more evil, he’s more vindictive… But I think he turns into a bitter old man. I think it has changed and I think it has changed for the worse. “

Tony Fleklin, Republican: “I am happy that he fulfills his promises. Sometimes his methods are a little dragon. This is the nature of Donald Trump.
