WASHINGTON – It's been one month since Donald Trump took the oath of office and became the United State's 45th president.

In his first month President Trump has signed 23 executive actions, had 12 members of his Cabinet confirmed, signed five bills into law, fired one acting attorney general and recently accepted the resignation of his national security advisor.

While critics cite the rocky roll out of his immigration order and struggles confirming some of his Cabinet picks as evidence of a less than stellar first 30 days in office, White House chief of staff Reince Priebus views the matter differently.

"When you look at the president's accomplishments, why don't we talk about the fact that we've pulled out of TPP ( Trans-Pacific Partnership)?" Priebus told CBS' "Face the Nation. "We've met with the U.K. We've met with Canada. We've met with Israel."

"The fact of the matter is the level of accomplishment that he's put forward so far in the first 30 days has been remarkable," he concluded.
