The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman said that while the pace of activity of Donald Trump’s White House in his early days back in office has slowed in recent weeks, she expects a new wave of aggressive action from the president soon.
“I think it will ramp up again,” Haberman told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Tuesday during a segment marking the 100th day of Trump’s second term.
Trump returned to office with a clear plan “for certain things,” she noted.
“Clearly, trade has not been some well-thought-out plan, but on immigration it absolutely was,” Haberman continued. “On a number of the executive orders he’s taken, and executive actions he’s done, it absolutely was.”
Trump this time around has “done very little through Congress” when compared to his first term, said Haberman, a longtime reporter on Trump.
The president “is also not under investigation right now. That is the main difference,” she added. “He came into office [in 2017] knowing that there was this investigation related to Russia and his campaign [...] and that was a cloud over so much of what he did in the first few months and impacted his thinking for the first few mornths.”
