Donald Trump’s candidacy and election violated (or was even diametrically opposite to) every traditional, time-honored rule and bit of wisdom held dear by conventional, otherwise savvy politicians.

While it may be logistically impossible to accomplish everything in the first three months of his term in office, there are some big issues he’s expected to tackle immediately, reports ABC.
