Builder Donald Trump. Reality TV star Donald Trump. Now he's President Donald Trump. And he's letting no  grass grow under his feet. While engaging in inaugural festivities and other traditional activities, he made a special trip to the CIA, talked on the phone with foreign leaders and signed dozens of executive orders.

Chief executives commonly have "to do" lists. President Trump has an "undo" list, focusing on reversing many of his predecessor's actions. He targeted Obamacare, telling agencies to ease the burden of the law where possible while "repeal and replace" legislation was being perfected. He also withdrew the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and reinstated a ban on promoting abortions overseas.

Presidential wannabe Ted Cruz has become more of a team player in the U.S. Senate. Not only is he supporting Trump administration appointees and issues, politico.com reports the Texas Republican is hosting a weekly pick-up basketball game "to get his fellow senators to like him.
