  President Donald Trump's second week in office included his first big legislative achievement and his first big setback.

The article from MSN discusses the second week of Donald Trump's hush money trial, highlighting the limits of the "shock and awe" strategy employed by his defense team. Initially, Trump's legal team aimed to create a spectacle, but as the trial progressed, the effectiveness of this approach waned. Key points include the testimony of David Pecker, former National Enquirer publisher, who detailed a "catch and kill" scheme to suppress negative stories about Trump. Despite attempts to discredit witnesses and create distractions, the courtroom atmosphere has settled into a more routine legal process, with the defense's tactics appearing less impactful. The article notes that while Trump's presence and the media attention remain high, the legal proceedings are moving forward with a focus on evidence and witness credibility, suggesting that the initial shock value has diminished, and the trial is settling into a more predictable pattern.
