Donald Trump has made headlines with a rapid series of executive actions since returning to the presidency, claiming to have achieved more in his first month than Joe Biden did during his entire term. Trump, who served as the 45th president and is now the 47th, has positioned his comeback as a historic political resurgence, defeating his opponent Kamala Harris, whom he described as "selected, not elected."
In his first days back in office, Trump wasted no time in implementing a bold agenda. He signed over three dozen executive orders addressing a variety of issues, including immigration, energy policy, and social issues. Among his first actions was declaring a state of emergency at the Southern border and deploying thousands of troops there to assist with border security. This move was part of a broader strategy to combat illegal immigration, focusing particularly on deporting violent offenders.
Trump’s administration has also taken a firm stance on gender issues, with one executive order defining "sex" strictly as biological, either male or female. He has moved to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs within the federal government and has withdrawn the U.S. from the World Health Organization, which he criticized for its progressive policies.
Throughout his second and third weeks in office, Trump maintained a vigorous pace, issuing multiple executive orders nearly every day. He prohibited federal funding for educational institutions that promote what he termed "radical, anti-American ideologies," including Critical Race Theory. Additionally, he signed an order to prevent federal support for medical transitions for minors, asserting that the government would enforce laws against such procedures.
In sports, Trump made headlines by signing an order that bans transgender women from competing in women’s sports, threatening to withdraw funding from schools that allow such participation. He has also collaborated with private sector figures, such as Elon Musk, to address government waste and scrutinize partisan spending in federal agencies.
Trump has actively engaged with his supporters through social media, particularly on his platform, Truth Social, as well as on X, formerly known as Twitter. His return to social media has reignited discussions about free speech and presidential communication, reminiscent of his previous term.
As Trump continues to execute his agenda, he is also promoting a collection of his past social media posts reimagined as poetry, marketed as a way for supporters to relive his time in office. The book aims to capture the essence of Trump’s communication style and has been positioned as a conversation starter for those interested in his presidency.
With his ambitious plans and a flurry of executive actions, Trump appears determined to reshape the political landscape in the early days of his second term, while critics remain skeptical of his ability to deliver on these promises. As the administration moves forward, many are watching closely to see how these policies will unfold and their impact on American society.
