The article calls the incoming 47th commander-in-chief “an unpredictable force for change” and concedes, “Whatever one thinks of him, he has altered America in ways unimaginable a decade ago.”

From TIME Magazine:

…the 47th President is as much a product of global change as a driver of it. The challenges his agenda attempts to address accumulated over decades, and are now greater than can be mastered by any one leader, or even one country. Transnational forces, from migration to organized crime to pandemics, have resisted both collaborative and unilateral responses since before 9/11. Today’s world is in many ways unrecognizable from what it was when America won the Cold War. In China, the U.S. faces a potential economic and military competitorunlike any before.

Trump has pledged to solve these challenges through a suite of aggressive moves. He promises everything from mass deportations to suppression of the free media through prosecution to the annexation of Greenland, the Panama Canal, and Canada—though he may be joking about that last bit. Supporters say his norm breaking will be worth it if it succeeds where others have failed, and they credit him for promising to tackle big, difficult problems: cutting government waste and reversing massive deficits, ending wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, fixing the long-broken immigration system. Trump will take office in as strong a political position as ever before, buoyed by a decisive election victory and near record-high public support, a Republican Congress unified behind him, and broader backing in the business community, most notably among tech elites, who have committed this time to working with him. To many, Trump’s ascension carries the possibility of positive change for institutions that have grown stagnant or worse.

Trump will hit the ground running on Monday, signing over 200 executive actions on his first day back behind the resolute desk.
