First look at USA President Trump signing documents/orders in the Capitol and in the Oval Office

Donald Trump Holds First Chairman Of The Board Meeting As President Of The United States, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71VKWv0hMbo, 14 min. 29 secs, published on Jan. 20th 2017

The above video shows USA President Trump signing documents/orders as USA president. Along with Mr. Trump we see vice-president Mike Pence, Speaker Paul Ryan, Senate Majority leader (R) Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader (D) Chuck Schumer, House of Representatives Majority leader (R) Kevin McCarthy and House of Representatives Minority Leader (D) Nancy Pelosi. These people are the top ranking political leaders of the USA now, and are all elected leaders. Trump's White House chief of staff Reince Priebus, Trump's family members, and others are also seen.

President Trump signs his first documents as USA president and gives away the pens used to sign the documents to various people around him. The room, according to the video caption, is the President's room in the US Capitol. It is a friendly kind of atmosphere and it is nice to see how the top elected political leaders of the USA including two Minority (Democrat) leaders are able to interact in a friendly but respectful way with President Trump (even though the Democrats have significant policy differences with the Republicans). Note that President Trump has not held any government office including USA Federal government office prior to this top office. So I guess it would be quite crucial to have the experienced political leaders of USA Congress, including vice-president Mike Pence who has served in USA Congress earlier besides having been a state governor, guide the real estate business magnate and reality television show star, Mr. Trump, through the political processes involved in the functioning of the office of USA president. Given that situation, it was pleasing to see the friendly atmosphere at this first signing of documents in his presidency by President Trump.

The above video shows USA President Trump signing documents in the Oval Office in the White House.  Perhaps these are the first documents he signs as president in the Oval office. Along with Mr. Trump we can see vice-president Mike Pence, White House senior staff, Reince Priebus and Jared Kushner, and others. The last part of the video shows General James Mattis being given the oath of office by Vice-president Mike Pence, for the Secretary of Defense post.

Please note that I have a PUBLICLY NEUTRAL informal-student-observer role in these posts that I put up about the USA presidential elections. Of course, as I am an Indian citizen living in India, there is no question of me having voted in these elections.
