Within days of taking office, he’s carried out what effectively amounts to a blitzkrieg of extremism, using Project 2025 as his guiding light. He withdrew the US from the Paris Climate Agreement, making us the only country besides Iran, Libya, and Yemen to not appreciate the necessity of being engaged with it. He withdrew the US from the World Health Organization. Bucking the Constitution, not to mention the bedrock principle of what it means to be an American, he tried to end birthright citizenship with a scribble of one of his Sharpies. He rescinded Executive Orders issued by President Biden to lower prescription drug costs—essentially because Biden had lowered them, and Trump wants all the glory. He pardoned violent January 6 criminal insurrectionists and went so far as to welcome some of them back to the Capitol that they treated like it was an uninhabited shack worthy of demolition. He revoked the Equal Employment Opportunity Executive Order of 1965, which prohibited employment discrimination in federal hiring based on race, religion, and gender, essentially rolling back sixty years of progress on civil rights. He has ordered health agencies to stop warning Americans about bird flu and to halt publication of scientific reports. Meanwhile, egg prices are skyrocketing. Most recently, he fired eighteen qualified and distinguished Inspectors General despite it being illegal to do so without cause and without thirty days’ notice to Congress.

USAID in Ukraine temporarily delayed issuing "stop work" orders to its partners, aiming to provide clarity while assessing how programs align with Rubio’s directive to make the U.S. "safer, stronger, and more prosperous." Despite this, by the evening of Jan. 25 in Kyiv, some organizations began receiving official "stop work" orders, halting operations until further notice from contracting officers.
The freeze has left hundreds of foreign aid contracts, valued at over $70 billion in the 2022 fiscal year, in limbo as a review process unfolds over the next 85 days, according to the FT. Ukrainian officials and NGOs warned that the pause could jeopardize critical initiatives, including support for schools, hospitals, and infrastructure development.
Military assistance to Ukraine, which amounts to $65.9 billion since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, remains unaffected by the freeze, a Ukrainian government official confirmed to the outlet. "Military aid to Ukraine is intact," the official said. "At least as of now, and it is certainly not part of this 90-day freeze."

Next he will want to call North and South America, America America. Trumpy is so intellectually stunted it's pathetic. He thinks like a child, he talks like a child and he acts like a child. And the funniest thing is, people look up to him. What a joke
What he fails to realise is, the US is OF America. Meaning, the country's name means it is a country within America. It's not the name of the country. Hahahaha. So renaming it the Gulf of America only means it's a Gulf within the Americas. The guy is a joke and a laughing stock of the world.Comment

Can this guy be anymore of a Dickhead
Trump, Without Citing Evidence, Blames D.E.I. and Democrats for Plane Crash President Trump’s remarks, suggesting that diversity requirements and other policies somehow caused the collision of a passenger jet and an Army helicopter near Washington, reflected his instinct to immediately frame major events through his political or ideological lens.
What a disgrace
