Will Trump’s new friends stick around?

The temperatures at game time in Kansas City and Buffalo this weekend were in the high teens and the low 20s, respectively, before both sank even lower as day turned to night. The temperature in Washington on Capitol Hill when Donald Trump began to give his second inauguration address was -2ºC a far cry from the -14ºC that forced Ronald Reagan’s second inaugural indoors. It turns out more people find it far more important to root for their team even in the face of frigid wind and swirling snow than to cheer on the swearing in of a new/old president — which indicates to me that the American people have their priorities straight.

For Donald Trump, his focus today is on a raft of executive orders that will set the new administration on a definite path – particularly as it related to the southern border and our fractious relationship with Mexico.
