In 10 days , Donald Trump has frozen federal spending and hiring, offered buyouts to more than two million government workers.

He’s fired nearly two dozen independent inspectors general, rewritten American maps, pardoned protesters who assaulted police, announced plans to detain migrants at Guantánamo Bay .

“He seems much more comfortable, almost relaxed in how he's doing the job,” Sean Spicer , the first White House press secretary, said Trump is showing a new “level of confidence”.

Much of Trump ’s first term was consumed by backbiting and leaks from rival factions trying to push their own causes.

This time, his team appears in public as united and drama-free.

“These guys are much more coordinated, organized and know how to execute,” Spicer said.
