Immigration Policies
Donald Trump wasted no time in setting the tone for his second term, declaring a national emergency at the US-Mexico border. He also signed orders to end birthright citizenship and designate certain groups as foreign terrorist organizations. Additionally, he revived the "Remain in Mexico" policy and promised mass deportations.
Climate Actions
Trump withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization, citing concerns about US industries and China's pollution. He also declared a national energy emergency to bypass green regulations.
TikTok Drama
Trump helped save TikTok by signing an executive order to block a ban for 90 days, giving the app's parent company time to divest. This move came after a brief ban on the social media platform in the US.
Gulf of America?
In a bold move, Trump pledged to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, along with renaming Mount Denali. These decisions have sparked debate over international precedent and ownership.
DOGE Department
Trump created the United States DOGE Service, headed by Elon Musk, to oversee federal budget cuts. This department aims to reduce the size and scope of the government.
Security Clearances & Flag Protocol

Transgender Rights & Diversity Measures
Trump fulfilled promises to curtail transgender rights and crush diversity programs in the workplace. His administration aims to use clear language recognizing biological sexes and dismisses DEI initiatives as wasteful.
Tricky Tariffs
Trump signed orders imposing import tariffs on countries like Canada and Mexico and challenged a global corporate tax deal negotiated by over 100 countries, stating it requires an act by Congress to take effect.
