At the second inauguration of Donald Trump, the Monitor surveys the president’s promises for Day 1.

Trump simply can’t accomplish all he said he will do on Day 1 because there are two more branches of government — Congress and the courts. (Moreover, in 2017 he considered Jan. 21 — his first full day on the job after the Jan. 20 inauguration — to be his Day 1.)

CNN presidential historian Timothy Naftali criticized President Trump’s executive orders and relationship with "far-right" world leaders during his inauguration.
