Stuart Varney: We expected shock and awe; that's what we got
During his "My Take" on Tuesday, "Varney & Co." host Stuart Varney recounts President Trump's busy first day in office.
Stuart Varney: We were told to expect "shock and awe" on day one. That’s what we got. There was the President seated behind a desk in the Capitol Arena, stacked with "executive orders."

Then he went to the Oval Office: more stacks of executive orders. He went through them one by one: "that’s a good one," he said, "that’s big!"
