Donald Trump's first full day in office was marked by a range of dramatic events, from a meeting with tech titans promising a $500 billion investment in AI to the controversial decision to grant mass clemency to January 6th prisoners. The day's developments highlighted Trump's close ties to the tech industry and his willingness to challenge established norms.

The mass pardon was roundly condemned by Democratic lawmakers and many of the police officers who defended and were, in many cases, injured defending the Capitol that day. “It wasn’t a surprise,” Daniel Hodges told CNN on Tuesday night. The DC officer was assaulted that day four years ago and worked at Trump’s inauguration on Monday. “This is what Trump campaigned on. The die was cast for this on November 5th, right? This is what the people voted for.
