The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, Jan. 23, edition that President Donald Trump returned to the helm of a country where opposition has been tinged by resignation, and hostility toward his agenda has, for some, transformed into an enthusiastic embrace. The Globe's Nathan VanderKlippe writes that in 2017, JPMorgan Chase chief executive officer Jamie Dimon was among those leading a very public corporate abandoning of Mr. Trump after comments that appeared to condone white supremacy. Mr. Dimon said Mr. Trump's approach to tariffs "wouldn't be a positive."
On Wednesday, Mr. Dimon said that critics of Mr. Trump's economic approach need to "get over it."
Mr. Trump, ebullient from winning the popular vote this time, entered office asserting a right to act with historic speed, and has in his first 48 hours signed a stack of executive orders whose broad sweep seeks not merely to reorient American political priorities, but reshape its social norms. Mr. Trump recently signed an executive order aiming to limit programs that promote minority representation, criticizing "race- and sex-based preferences" that he claims violate federal civil rights laws and undermine national unity.
