Stephanie Ruhle: Trump ‘Wasted No Time Imposing His WIll on American Gov’t’

RUHLE: “Good evening once again, I’m Stephanie Ruhle. It is day one of the second Trump Administration. Donald Trump has been president for a grand total of 11 hours, and he wasted no time imposing his will on American government. Tonight, he announced he was pardoning or commuting the sentences of virtually everyone involved in the January 6th attack on the Capitol. That includes Stewart Rhodes — remember that name? — the founder of the Oath Keepers, and Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the Proud Boys. Both of these men were tried in federal court and convicted of seditious conspiracy. Donald Trump also signed an order redefining birthright citizenship. For more than 150 years, the 14th Amendment has given American citizenship to anyone born on American soil, but Donald Trump is trying to restrict that, saying that will not be the case for children of undocumented immigrants. By the way, tonight, Donald Trump said the U.S. is the only country with birthright citizenship. Well, for facts sake, that is not true. Many other countries have it, including Mexico and Canada. Donald Trump signed those orders just a few hours after he was sworn in. Also today, he gave multiple speeches. The first was his official scripted inaugural speech. But during the second speech, that is when Trump was Trump and he let it rip.”
