Susan Page: Trump Is Moving So Rapidly in Making the Key Appointments To Show This Term Will Be Different

EXCERPT:

PAGE: "You know, here's one thing: None of this should be a surprise to any of us. The surprise is only those who didn’t think Donald Trump would do what he said he was going to do. He said he was going to give Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a key role in health care. And, you know, the thing, Jonathan, that strikes me, we are just at the end of his first full week as president-elect, and he is moving so much more quickly and with so much more intent than he did eight years ago when he won the presidency in 2016. Think about where we are now compared to where we were then. He’s moved rapidly on making some of these key appointments. He’s made some that are pretty broadly acceptable and some that have just raised the hackles around the country and certainly here in Washington, even among some Republicans. But it is a demonstration of how different I think this Trump term is going to be compared to the last one, where he surrounds himself with people he knows agree with him, who will not be challenging him, and with a much stronger sense of how things work in Washington and how to get done the things that he wants to get done."
