Within mere days of Trump coming into office, we've seen:

1. ICE round up and deport violent illegal aliens. [1]

2. The US military deploy to assist with securing the southern border. [2]

These both appear to be fairly easily to implement and with tangible impacts and yet.... the previous administration did neither. So was their inaction due to incompetence, or malevolence? Either way many Americans are looking at the lying, cheating, corrupt NYC real estate demagogue and thinking "Maybe he can fix some of the stuff we actually care about...". Which is an absolutely scathing indictment of The Establishment (tm) politicians IMO.
