Donald Trump's pacy executive order signing has been summed up by several senators.

When considering all the things the 47th President of the US has done since coming into office just a month ago, it would probably be easier to list the things he hasn't done - with Trump having signed off on dozens of executive orders within just the first week, let alone his first month.

From stating there are 'only two genders' to 'ending radical and wasteful government diversity, equity and inclusion' programs, renaming the Gulf of Mexico and continuing to target the rights of undocumented migrants - Trump really appears to be throwing it all at the wall.

Executive orders do have the possibility of being blocked though, with several of Trump's sign-offs already having been temporarily halted thanks to an obscure law.

Although earlier this week, a federal judge denied a 'final' request to block Elon Musk - who's been appointed by Trump to spearhead Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) - from accessing sensitive government data.

And on February 18, Trump signed an executive order to bring various independent agencies - such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) - under the White House's control which could see him become one of the most powerful presidents in the history of the US.

But what do lawmakers make of it all? Well, in an exclusive interview with the Mail Online, lawmakers were asked to sum up Trump's first month in office in one word.

The junior United States senator for North Dakota, Kevin Cramer, went for a diplomatic approach: "Active."

However, others didn't mince their words quite so much.

The senior United States senator from Missouri, Josh Hawley, went for a fairly tame 'Bold'.

Senator John Curtis - the junior United States senator from Utah - said: "Aggressive."

And the oldest sitting United States senator, Republican from Iowa Chuck Grassley, resolved: "Hurricane."

Well, we all know hurricanes aren't exactly fun and games eh?

Junior United States senator from Vermont, Peter Welch, resolved Trump's first month has seen him go on an 'illegal rampage' - not quite sticking to one word, but we'll let it slide - and Democratic senator of Delaware, Chris Coons, simply described it as 'terrible'.

So, how would you describe Trump's first month back in office?
