Shortly after being sworn in for his second term, President Donald Trump wasted no time in issuing Executive Orders to keep the promises he made to the American public.
Ever the showman, the 47th President signed the first batch of orders at a packed ceremony at Capital One Arena, and then moved to the Oval Office to sign the rest. He also canceled 78 orders made by the Biden administration.
His swift actions included the restoration of the death penalty and requiring the Federal government to recognize the biological reality of two sexes–male and female.
President Trump declared a National Emergency to unlock American energy, withdrew from the Paris Climate Accords, eliminated the electric vehicle mandate, and paused all offshore wind farm leases.
The 47th Commander in Chief ordered the completion of the border wall, designated cartels and transnational gangs as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, directed the military to prioritize the nation’s borders and territorial integrity, and began the deportation process for illegal immigrants. He also created an Office of Government Efficiency (DOGE), ordered government employees working from home back to the office, and made it easier to fire unproductive workers.
President Trump also changed Denali Mountain in Alaska back to Mount McKinley and renamed the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. He declared that U.S. foreign policy must always put the interests of America and its citizens first.
