Trump's 1st month in White House: magic realism or hallucinatory realism

Again, Americans are found deeply divided over which side is honest. According to a new Fox News poll, 45 percent of US voters trust the White House while 42 percent believed in news media.

Trump backers praise the president for the embarking of Obamacare repeal, the official TPP withdrawal, the travel ban on refugees and certain immigrants, the crackdown on undocumented immigrants, the talk about building a wall along the Mexican border, Trump's pick of a new Supreme Court Justice nominee, and so on.

In the eyes of those against Trump, the new president's administration is dysfunctional, crowded by billionaires and full of conflicts of interests, while most of his pledges are brags or lies. Many experts say that they can't see a pragmatic way leading to the fulfilment of many Trump's key campaign pledges.

"Reality collides with Trump's promises," analyst Eli Stokols claimed in a report released by the Politico magazine.

There occurs a serious question: Has the US politics been plunged into somewhat magic realism or somewhat hallucinatory realism, or trapped at a point in between? If Americans can't agree with facts, what does it mean to the whole world?

In this puzzled world, maybe what we can do is just "wait and see".
