What Will Trump Do? It’s All Right Here
Trying to keep up with U.S. President Donald Trump is like trying to put your thumb on mercury.
It’s one of the biggest worries in Canada. Even Mayor Mark Sutcliffe mentioned Trump in his state of the city speech.
But we’re here to help you sort it all out.
This is the current list of Trump actions but expect it to change:
—
Donald Trump is promising a “golden age of America” in his second term, and he’s issuing a raft of executive orders to try and make it happen.
The president signed a slew of orders and directives that aim to end birthright citizenship and crack down on illegal crossings at the southern border, increase domestic energy production and transform a federal government he views as both too bloated and too “woke.”
It’s unclear which of Trump’s executive actions will have immediate impact or are merely symbolic. But they’re already facing challenges. The Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency drew lawsuits hours before Trump signed the paperwork to create it. Some of his more controversial orders — including the one targeting birthright citizenship — also immediately hit legal challenges. And while Trump pledged in his inaugural address to create an “External Revenue Service” to collect tariffs and revenues from foreign nations, he’ll need congressional approval to create the new agency.

HA! Politico? They are as bad as Breitbart or Townhall. Independent media run amok. I take these far to the outskirts of both sides of the political frame with an industrial size shaker of salt. Unfortunately unbiased media has gone the way of the Dodo. As someone who is an independent and wouldn’t have voted for either Orangeman or Heels Up Harris the screeching is pure comedic theatre. As an aside I do read Politico and Breitbart to get some sort of perspective to lead me to some sort of consensus. I am not sure those who are fans of either publication read the other. As one who refuses to belong to a political cult as stated, reading the spewings of rabid pundits on the left and the right is an endless source of amusement.
