Trump's first two weeks met with backlash across media, called 'most damaging' in history
Fox News
Media criticism of President Donald Trump's first two weeks in office has poured in as his administration has taken aim at government spending, DEI, immigration and more.
Hanna Panreck is an associate editor at Fox News.
Trump signed a series of executive orders in his first two weeks in office, aimed at immigration and the border crisis, threatened tariffs on Mexico and Canada, and took steps to eliminate DEI offices in the federal government. Trump's administration has also taken steps to scale back USAID.
"None of this is normal. Little of it is legal. All of it is misguided, and that’s a mild term. The damage to the federal workforce is incalculable. Years of expertise down the drain. The ability to recruit talented employees: same. Why would anyone join an operation that treats its workers this way?" Marcus wrote of Trump's early moves, specifically with regard to federal workers.
