A lot has happened in Donald Trumps first few days as President.
He and his team have spent much of the last five days arguing against factual reports that say his inauguration attendance was relatively low. That has included two now-infamous press room appearances by Sean Spicer, one of which was furious and one of which was sad. Kellyanne Conway coined the phrase alternative facts, too. Beyond that, Trump lambasted the press during a speech at the CIA to which he brought his own cheering section, which reportedly left relations with the intelligence community in a pretty bad place and reportedly used a meeting with congressional leaders to repeat the false claim that millions of votes were cast illegally in last years election. He has signed a number of executive orders and held meetings with a variety of American companies and organizations.
That is a pretty solid stream of news.
We have to ask: How would you describe his first days in office?

The maker of Toblerone, the Swiss chocolate bar, has reconfigured the unique appearance of two of its milk-chocolate versions, with narrower triangles and a larger gap between peaks.
The price for the new bars is the same as the old ones, but the changes to the smaller one which is sold mainly in Britain at the discount retailer Poundland were so pronounced that Toblerones Facebook page was filled with outrage from aggrieved consumers, even though only a relatively small number were likely to be affected.
~snip~
Gemma Pryor, the head of external affairs for Britain at Mondelez International, said the company had to choose between changing the shape of the bar and raising prices a significant issue in Britain, where the economy is facing uncertainty and the value of the pound has weakened after voters backed leaving the European Union in a June referendum.

The triangular milk chocolate bar, sold in a yellow package with red letters, has been around since 1908. The founder, Theodor Tobler, combined his family name with torrone, the Italian word for nougat, and patented his recipe of chocolate mixed with milk and honey.
