Sure, there's plenty more information available about what he's up to - there was some good reporting done leading up to court decision on the travel ban as to what the courts were doing and how enforcement was proceeding (or in some cases not proceeding). There's been good reporting on the confirmation processes for his various appointees. If you look for it, you'll find some good journalism about what the Trump kids have been up to in terms of expanding the family's business interests - they just went to Dubai in support of a new Trump golf course. There's been plenty of reporting about links between Flynn and Russia, as there was between Manafort and Russia previously. It's not hard to find.

But even if you don't want to put in the minimal effort to find out about all of that, to get the overriding theme of this administration, you really don't have to. All you need is to watch his press conferences, listen to the white house press secretary, and read his twitter. It's all right there.
What's wrong with the Trump kids trying to expand their business?

I read about the travel ban parts and the court proceedings...still unsure where I sit with whether I agree with it or not.

Flynn and Russia I still don't really understand the issue.

His Twitter is fairly sensationalized like most media, and it definitely fits his over the top nature. I don't really like it but whatever, that seems to be media nowadays.

His press conference last Thursday I watched the first 25min and I was actually surprised that he was coherent and made some good points. Reading most of the articles on CBC, I took Trump to be an illiterate bone head...turns out he actually can actually make some points.
