Maybe.

But i have to ask ...

What can a President actually do in the early days of office.

Stated differently, are these criticisms more politically based than reality based>

A President can project the appearance of security, stability, and maturity which will assure the general populous that a smooth transition is taking place from the old administration to the new administration. A President may have an agenda that incorporates change, but a good captain knows how to make a course correction without recklessly jerking the tiller. No one benefits from having a loose cannon on board.

In short, a President's job #1 is to be a leader!

@#4 ... In short, a President's job #1 is to be a leader! ...

I do not disagree with your comment.

But the comment talks about the image projected, rather than the solutions accomplished.

I will say that it is still too early to see the actual effect(s) that Pres Trump has upon the Country's air system, as a leader.

And, if I may say, based upon what I have seen so far, my current opinion is that Pres Trump will have a neutral- to negative-effect upon the Country's air system.

Why do I say that?

Mainly because he seems to place people ~in charge~ whose main qualification for the position is a fealty to Pres Trump.
