The first day of Trump’s return to the White House was marked by a flurry of executive orders, aimed at reversing the policies of the previous administration and implementing Trump’s campaign promises. The focus of these orders is on border security, economic nationalism, and blocking what Trump sees as harmful, woke “progressive” social policies.
Critics of these measures are mainly found in the US deep state and among its international counterparts, particularly in the EU. They argue that these measures will lead to international economic, political, and military tensions, as well as setbacks in the so-called “climate change mitigation” efforts of the Western CO-2 abatement sect.
Supporters of Trump, on the other hand, see his executive orders as necessary corrections to restore the fundamental principles of America. Trump’s ambitious agenda, aiming to issue over 200 executive orders in the first hundred days of his presidency, will shape the political landscape both domestically and internationally in the US for years to come, possibly even permanently.
It is worth noting that President Joe Biden had signed about 50 executive orders on the day of his inauguration (January 20, 2021), largely to reverse Trump’s policies. Trump’s executive orders now include those that reverse the executive orders issued by Biden during his presidency, which in the eyes of Trump have harmed the American people but benefited the deep state and its patrons.
Most of the over 200 executive orders are not yet signed, but are already in draft form. Some are still in the legal review process, others need to be adapted to the political perspective, and over others, internal debate is still ongoing as to whether they should be pursued or not, with the president’s legal advisors still deciding whether certain executive orders require Congressional approval to achieve the desired goal, or if a presidential executive order is sufficient.
However, to get a better idea of where Trump is leading the US and what his priorities are, the executive orders he has already signed in the first two days of his presidency provide the best insight.
Here is a rough overview of Trump’s executive actions in the first two days, grouped by their respective policy areas:
