The Factor was joined by Charles Krauthammer, who gave his thoughts on the big day in Washington. "This was not a conservative speech in the mold of Reagan," Dr. K observed, "and it marks the end of Reaganism. He is really a third-party candidate who ran under the banner of the GOP. He offers a vision that is populist through-and-through, but he stocks his cabinet with conservatives who will try to enact traditional items of the conservative agenda. The irony is that to get that through, he'll need the Republican establishment." Krauthammer evaluated Donald Trump's harsh criticism of the politicians who shared the stage on Friday. "There is some poetic justice because in 2009 Obama was very critical of George W. Bush, who was sitting right behind him. If Donald Trump believes something, he says it, which is part of his charm and appeal. The problem is that he is making promises about issues and problems that have been with us forever." The Factor predicted, "Next week will be wild because he will sign executive orders to reinforce the message that a new sheriff is in town."
