President Donald Trump’s first weeks back in the White House have been nothing short of dizzying.
He kicked off his second presidency with a fury of policy actions — imposing (then postponing) tariffs on Canada and Mexico; barring transgender people from serving and enlisting in the military; and eliminating many US foreign aid programs. He has revealed plans to purge the FBI of his perceived enemies and provided sweeping pardons to his insurrectionist supporters. And he’s vowed to launch the “largest deportation program in American history.”
Trump appears intent on remaking the executive branch as he sees fit — empowering ally Elon Musk to push aside civil servants, wind down entire agencies, and generally strike terror into the federal workforce.
