President Donald Trump made his return to the White House when he was sworn in last week.

In his first week, he signed more executive orders than any other president. These swift actions signaled the beginnings of the second Trump administration’s attempts to make good on promises made during campaign season.

The executive orders range in variety and focus from “ending illegal discrimination and restoring merit-based opportunity,” which ended federal DEI programs and identified them as illegal, to withdrawing from the World Health Organization.

During the inaugural prayer service on Jan. 21, Washington’s Bishop of the Episcopal church Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde took time during her sermon to give advice and remind Trump of his duty to all the people of the country.

TribLive Community Engagement Editor Lori Falce and Zac Gibson discuss Budde’s sermon and the new tone in Washington.
