In the span of just 72 hours following the presidential oath of office, the political landscape of Washington D.C., and indeed the world, was hit by what constitutional scholars are already calling a “saturation bombing” of executive action. This was not the timid, incremental policymaking of previous administrations; this was the raw, unvarnished use of political capital, a genuine bull let loose into the china shop of the ruling class. The new administration, powered by a mandate ratified by voters on November 5th, is moving with a gusto and precision designed to dismantle the established order—from the hallowed halls of the Federal Reserve to the exclusive dinner tables of the global elite in Davos. The core message is clear: the age of whispered compromise and tiptoeing around power is over.

The Vault is Broken: Decades of Secrets Exposed

Perhaps the most emotionally seismic action of the first week was the signing of a sweeping executive order to declassify and release all files related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This act is the ultimate populist promise, shattering the deep state’s ability to keep some of the darkest, most enduring secrets of American history locked away.

As the order was signed, the gravity of the moment was palpable. “Everything will be revealed,” the President declared, acknowledging that people had been waiting “for decades.” The order gives the Director of National Intelligence and the Attorney General a tight 15-day window to formulate a plan for the “full and complete release of the JFK files” and 45 days for the RFK and MLK archives. These are not just symbolic gestures; they are tens of thousands of documents—archives that have been buried for over sixty years, feeding endless speculation and undermining public trust in government. The release promises to be a pivotal moment of national reckoning, confirming the administration’s commitment to radical transparency in the face of institutional opposition.

The Crypto Command and the Fall of Fed Independence

In a flurry of executive orders that, as one anchor noted, “could make you rich,” the administration immediately targeted a key area of future economic growth: cryptocurrency. An internal working group has been commissioned with the explicit mission of making “America the world capital in crypto.” This action signals a powerful shift away from regulatory hostility toward the burgeoning digital asset space, promising massive, wealth-generating opportunities for the country and its citizens.

Simultaneously, the new administration launched an unprecedented public challenge to the perceived independence of Washington’s institutions, specifically the Federal Reserve. Rejecting the long-standing “Washingtonian virtue signaling” that presidents should remain shy about power, the President openly stated he would demand that interest rates come down. This direct assertion of executive opinion, an act previous administrations would deem “unethical” or inappropriate, demystifies the idea that the central bank operates in a perfectly independent vacuum. It’s a message to the American people that the government should be working for their economic interests, not preserving the illusions of power-brokers.

Declaring War on Davos: The Globalist Wish List Shredded

If the initial executive orders were surgical strikes, the confrontation with the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, was a declaration of total war against globalism. The annual gathering of the financial elite, known for dictating global policies—from DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) mandates and mass migration to ridiculous attacks on “cow flatulence” and the New World Order—was abruptly put on notice.

Zooming in as a deliberate symbol of disrespect, the President told the assembled elite that they are “not dictating anymore.” This bold move was quickly followed by a public statement to the summit, where the President announced a “revolution of Common Sense” and the immediate termination of the globalist agenda at home.

The administration has “ripped up their wish list,” moving to:

Terminate the Green New Deal: Dismissed as “ridiculous and incredibly wasteful” and a “green new scam.”

Withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord: Labelled as “one-sided.”

End the Insane Electric Vehicle Mandate: The President is committed to letting people “buy the car they want to buy,” effectively killing the costly regulatory push and restoring consumer freedom.

The message is unmistakable: the “New World Order won’t be set at a summit in Switzerland by bankers, politicians, and economists who look like woolly mammoths.”

Corporate Scrutiny and the NATO Reckoning

The Davos intervention was not merely rhetorical. The President used the global stage to launch a direct, public attack on a major American financial institution, calling out the CEO of Bank of America and demanding that they “start opening your bank to conservatives.” He implied that banks were denying conservative businesses, asking, “I don’t know if The Regulators mandated that because of Biden or what but you and Jamie and everybody I hope you’re going to open your Banks to conservatives because what you’re doing is wrong.” This public shaming, described as having “ruffled quite a few feathers in the Davos dining room,” serves as a warning shot to corporate America that political discrimination will not be tolerated.

On the geopolitical front, the administration is reasserting America’s economic and military advantage with a powerful, non-negotiable tone. The era of the “free ride” is over. The President announced that he is “going to ask all NATO Nations to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP,” a dramatic increase from the 2% most nations historically ignored until the previous administration insisted on compliance. He asked pointedly, “Why are we paying the bulk of NATO’s budget?” This demand for greater burden-sharing is aimed at fixing the “books” of the alliance, eliminating a subsidy for allies who are simultaneously “ripping us off on trade.”

Transactional Diplomacy: The Trillion-Dollar Offer

The new foreign policy approach is unapologetically transactional and focused on maximizing American wealth and leverage. This was demonstrated vividly by the President’s handling of Saudi Arabia, a key ally. He revealed that Saudi Arabia is already committed to investing at least $600 billion in America but announced he would be asking the Crown Prince to “round it out to around one trillion.”

He explicitly linked the potential for his first foreign trip to the achievement of this massive investment goal: “if they do that I would [visit]… we did $450 billion meaning the money all goes to American companies and uh they purchase Jets and they purchase computers and everything else.” This approach treats the country like an “NFL free agent,” leveraging global partnerships to secure staggering amounts of capital and jobs for American workers. Additionally, he stated he will ask Saudi Arabia and OPEC to bring down the cost of oil, ensuring that American energy interests and consumer relief remain top priorities.

Reshoring and the Momentum of Change

This new momentum is already yielding tangible results in domestic economic policy. Fiat Chrysler met with the President and is now restarting a Jeep plant in Illinois and building Dodge Durangos in Detroit. Samsung is moving production from Mexico back into the United States. Further demonstrating America’s renewed energy dominance, the administration lifted the pause on liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. This move not only makes the country wealthier but is strategically designed to allow the US to sell natural gas to the Europeans, “wean them off Russian energy,” and thus “slow down the Russian war machine, forcing Putin to the negotiating table.”

The sheer volume and radical nature of these actions have led analysts like constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley to note that the President is not making “surgical strikes” but “saturation bombing Washington.” The myth of gridlock—the excuse professional politicians used for their “three-day work weeks”—is being obliterated. The media may decry the “return of the king” and try to frame a decisive leader as a tyrant, but the reality, according to political observers, is that this is what happens when a president earns political capital and uses it with “gusto and precision.”

Mike Davis, a lawyer, summarized the situation perfectly for the New York Times: “This election was a referendum on Trump, on Maga, and on lawfare and the American people rendered their verdict on November 5th. He earned power and now he’s going to use it.” The critical difference now is that the administration is doing exactly what it promised the voters it would do, a mission ratified by the American electorate.

The result is a “populist Rebellion,” a definitive declaration that the “sky” of the ruling class is finally falling. The power is being returned to the people. No longer will unelected, unaccountable elites dictate fundamental choices—what bank to use, what car to buy, what words to say, or what food to eat. This is the start of an era where citizens are in charge, and their time at the top has only just begun.
