President Donald Trump's first ten days back in the Oval Office have included wildly controversial decisions such as granting full pardons to violent criminals who attacked a coequal branch of government on his behalf four years ago, expelling transgender service members from the United States military, and unilaterally stripping birthright citizenship from the United States Constitution.
As Rolling Stone reports, Trump and his team have concocted a strategy to "flood the zone" with "uniquely depraved" orders and policies in the hopes of mentally overwhelming a demoralized Democratic Party.
"Trump and his officials were confident the general public would grow numb — and stay numb — to this opening onslaught," the publication writes. "Trump appears to be taking that mentality to heart. The first 10 days of the administration have been marked by an unprecedented barrage of barbaric policy moves and casual executive depravity. In many cases these actions have flown in the face of the law, decades of tradition, and even the constitution."

The publication then throughly documents all of the actions Trump has taken over just the last ten days, which have resulted in multiple lawsuits being filed by blue-state attorneys general.
At least one Trump executive order has come back to bite him, however, as his decision to shut off all federal loans and grants this week led to mass chaos throughout the country that temporarily shut down Medicaid portals in all 50 states.
This led to a federal judge in the District of Columbia to block the freeze until at least next week.
