The first week under President Trump contained a dizzying amount of news. While the major stories that got in-depth media discussion and analysis included the inauguration crowd size, voter fraud, and the travel ban, there were so many other stories that were often overlooked by some of the major news outlets. This included Trump’s plan to publish a weekly list of crimes committed by undocumented immigrants, his team’s proclamation that he will definitively not release his tax returns (not a surprise but still worth noting), the censoring of government agencies, and perhaps the biggest story of the first week, the shakeup of the National Security Council. While the protests and rallies have been inspiring, it is troubling to me to think that this may be exactly the reaction the Trump administration is counting on and using to their advantage.
