The Signal Being Sent

We wrote about Trump's personnel choices yesterday. Today comes a New York Times article characterizing those choices, saying what they mean.
Mr. Trump moved unapologetically to realize his campaign’s vision of a nation that relentlessly enforces immigration laws; views Muslims with deep suspicion; aggressively enforces drug laws; second-guesses post-World War II alliances; and sends suspected terrorists to Guantánamo Bay or C.I.A. prisons to be interrogated with methods that have been banned as torture.
 You know NYT strongly disapproves, but it sounds near-ideal to me.
