Trump Administration
The Trump Administration consists of the leadership of the executive branch of the United States government under the presidency of Donald Trump.
The Trump Administration officially begins with the Inauguration on January 20, 2017, but unofficially began immediately after the election of Donald Trump on November 8, 2016, as the next president of the United States. Due to the Obamagate controversy, Trump was never able to enjoy the traditional 'honeymoon' afforded to most new presidents during their first 100 days by opposition media and critics.
The first persons hired to lead the Trump Administration were conservative Steve Bannon, as chief strategist and senior counselor to the president, and pro-Establishment Reince Priebus, as chief of staff. The hiring of Reince Priebus disappointed many of Trump's supporters who hope that he will "drain the swamp" -- shrink the federal government -- rather than rely on insiders to perpetuate the status quo.
