Donald Trump's flurry of executive orders attempting to make good on the worst of his campaign promises left many feeling overwhelmed. Trump is attempting a "shock and awe" campaign. It will work only if the 2.7 million civil servants employed by the United States actually allow themselves to be cowed. Even more ominously, Customs and Border Patrol agents continued to turn away refugees and visa holders after being ordered not to by the federal courts. Trump was less brazen with the Dakota Access and Keystone XL Pipelines, though many thought he gave them the go-ahead.
