24 Hours of Trump

In just 24 hours, the new president has shaken the political landscape with a series of sweeping decisions. From high-stakes international moves to domestic policies igniting debate, the administration has wasted no time stamping its authority. Here’s a look at the headline-making actions that have everyone talking.

TikTok Clocks Ticks On

TikTok users can breathe for now. The president issued an executive order delaying the platform’s ban by 73 days. Supporters see it as a strategic pause to negotiate data security concerns, while critics accuse the administration of playing games with tech diplomacy.

WHO Walked Out

In a dramatic move, the U.S. officially withdrew from the World Health Organization. The administration cited concerns over accountability and alignment with national interests, but the decision has left global health experts sounding the alarm about weakened international cooperation.

Tariffs Target Neighbors

The president’s consideration of a 25% tariff on Canadian and Mexican imports has sparked fears of a trade war. The proposed measure, intended to boost American industry, could strain relationships with the nation’s closest allies and raise prices for consumers.

Citizenship Stripped from the Vulnerable

One of the most contentious orders restricts U.S. citizenship for children born to undocumented immigrants. Advocacy groups have called it a direct affront to human dignity, while the administration frames it as part of broader immigration reform.

Gender Redefined
An executive order limiting recognized genders to male and female has reignited fierce national debate. Critics argue it undermines LGBTQ+ rights, while supporters claim it aligns policy with biological definitions.

Declaring an Energy Emergency

Citing threats to national energy security, the president declared a national emergency in the energy sector. While details remain unclear, the move signals a potential shift toward fossil fuel reliance, raising eyebrows among environmentalists.

Prescription Drug Relief Reversed

A previous order targeting lower prescription drug costs was revoked, leaving many questioning the administration’s commitment to affordable healthcare. This rollback has drawn widespread criticism from patients and advocacy groups alike.

Paris Climate Agreement Abandoned

In a stark rejection of global climate initiatives, the U.S. once again exited the Paris Climate Agreement. The administration argues that it’s prioritizing “pragmatic energy policies,” but environmental groups warn of long-term consequences for the planet.

Insurrection Pardons Ignite Outrage

Nearly 1,500 individuals charged in the Capitol insurrection received pardons in a sweeping executive action. The decision has triggered intense backlash, with opponents claiming it undermines the justice system and emboldens extremism.

Federal Workers Ordered Back to the Office

Remote work came to an abrupt end as the president mandated all federal employees return to their offices. Labor unions are raising concerns about safety and logistics, but the administration insists it’s a step toward restoring government efficiency.

The new president’s first day in office has set the tone for a term defined by bold moves and unapologetic decision-making. Supporters see a leader taking decisive action, while opponents fear the long-term implications of such rapid policy shifts. If the first 24 hours are any indication, this administration promises a turbulent yet transformative era.
