Trump's Day One accomplishments - your predictions!

Attempted contacts with CBP civilian employees today after days with no response are once again proof they need to return to the office. Pre COVID, this department would actually answer the phone.

The end of birthright citizenship seems to violate the 14 amendment to the constitution. I imagine that will tie up our tax dollars in the courts. The pardon of the 1/6 rioters was a thumb at our judicial system. So I'd think he has not only flaunted the Supreme Court, but much more of the judicial system, plus the Constitution. I wonder if his fellow GOPer sycophants will ever speak up or if they will go along in fear of his threats or actions against our democratic systems. I assume they have taken oaths to support the constitution.

His declaration of an "energy emergency" may be legal, but based on an outright lie

Nothing unexpected for the first day of a convicted felon.

Does birthright citizenship apply to trump’s son, Baron?

CBP was ordered to report on multiple fronts within a short period of time. I imagine many Federal agencies will have a lot of Chaos.

Some fed employees are unionized and their contracts specify work at home provisions. Should add to the Chaos.

refugees who followed all the rules and even had flights scheduled were stopped by executive order. Dealing with people who come in illegally is one thing. This class of people who followed all the rules is different.

Jan 6 protesters who assaulted police officers should have not been pardoned. They have evidence on social media and film.

And the World Health Organization. I don’t understand that one.

I've not seen any indications of the end of the war in Ukraine that was promised or any other international conflicts. Nothing about our faltering health care, affordable housing, grocery prices, drug costs, etc., which may be coming but apparently no longer a priority. Something may become of tariffs, but I'm guessing the 25% is just another bluff and it will be something much lower or with many exemptions. And I may have missed anything about tariffs with China.

As of yesterday, proposed 10% addition China duties, on top of current 25%.

25% for Canada/MX. These are all proposed for 2/1. No EO yet.

All agencies were instructed to do whatever necessary to bring down daily necessities cost in an EO issued Monday. Suggest you actually read them.

What is an EO? Something order? Where are they available to read?

Executive Order. Go read them on the White House website.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

Executive order “Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship” makes my little Free Speech heart happy. The censorial actions of the Biden administration infuriated me.

It will get worse.

"The Trump administration, moving quickly to clamp down on health and science agencies, has canceled a string of scientific meetings and instructed federal health officials to refrain from all public communications, including upcoming reports focused on the nation’s escalating bird flu crisis."

"The cancellations followed a directive issued on Tuesday by the acting director of the federal Department of Health and Human Services, who prohibited the release ofany public communication until it had been reviewed by a presidential appointee or designee, according to federal officials and an internal memo reviewed by The New York Times."
