A deliberate effort by the president and his team to roll out an unceasing flow of initiatives has knocked his rivals off balance in the first days of the new administration.

Donald Trump's opponents have spent the days since his inauguration playing political whack-a-mole over a torrent of orders specifically calibrated to overwhelm and bewilder, say analysts, as the new president gets to work on his radical policy agenda.

When a group of Senate Democrats held a press conference Tuesday to denounce President Trump’s pardon of Jan. 6 rioters, there was a slight problem. They were capitalizing on a news cycle that had since been buried by a week’s worth of other news generated by the White House.
