President Donald Trump’s first week back in the White House has been active. Following his inauguration, the 47th president’s first day was marked with 46 presidential actions, which included staffing announcements and the signing of a flurry of executive orders. Some of those executive orders have prompted lawsuits from cities, states and advocacy groups.

On Friday’s edition of “Closer Look,” for Feedback Friday, show host Rose Scott opened the phone lines to hear from listeners who share their thoughts about Trump’s executive orders.

Devin Barrington-Ward, a former candidate for Atlanta City Council, a progressive community organizer and the managing director of the Black Futurists Group, GSU politics and policy professor Tammy Greer and Atlanta-based political strategist and analyst Fred Hicks, joined Scott.
