In the first 100 days of the second term, US President Donald Trump made several controversial decisions that caused an extensive debate in the political and social spectrum. These decisions have affected the issues of diversity, civil rights, foreign diplomacy and education and meant a decisive period in its Presidency.
Here are several key events and politicians that caught attention:
1 .. Cancellation of dei programs
One of Trump’s first major events was the dismantling of diversity, justice and inclusion (dei) programs across federal government agencies and the army. These programs aimed at solving the history of national racial inequality have been immediately discarded and quoted as “dividing”. Trump also moved to Dei programs in private legal companies, public universities and other institutions that receive federal funding or rely on federal approval. This step has triggered will, and many of them claim to undermine the efforts to create a more inclusive society.
2. The release of a mass federal worker
Trump’s administration also introduced a massive reduction in federal workers. Tens of thousands of employees were either released or offered. This release came as part of a wider federal initiative for labor reduction, which Trump framed as needed to reduce the inefficiency of the government.
3. End of law of birth of citizenship
In another important step, Trump issued an executive order seeking to terminate citizenship of birth, which is the right guaranteed under the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. This controversial executive order was immediately questioned in court, with this problem now heading towards the US Supreme Court for the final decision.
4. Legal battles with legal firms
Trump focused on several elite law firms and accused them of supporting the politicians of his administration. Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP has become the first of many companies to provide approximately $ 1 billion free legal work for Trump projects and its administrative support. However, other legal companies, including Perkins Coie, Jenner & Block, and Wilmerhale, have rejected Trump’s requirements and filed an action against administration, thus bringing these legal issues to the courts.
5. Opening Pacific Ocean Reserve for commercial fishing
The key change in environmental policy has occurred when Trump opened a huge reserve of the Pacific Ocean on commercial fishing, 750 miles west of Hawaii. The reserve, originally established by President George W. Bush and widespread under former President Barack Obama for nearly 500,000 square miles, was protected to maintain endangered sea turtles and coral atolls. Trump’s step towards lifting these protection has caused concern for environmentalists about the future of marine life in this area.
6. The ban on transgender athletes
In a move that affects the LGBTQ+community, Trump signed a executive command prohibiting the Transgender Student Athletes in Female Sports competition. The order was widely criticized by LGBTQ+ advocates and fans of equality of women and men who claim to undermine the rights of Transgender individuals.
7. Medicaid restrictions on the care of a minor sex
Trump’s administration also issued instructions to states and ordered them to stop using Medicaid financing for gender confirming the care of minors. This decision, part of the wider pressure of Trump, to reduce access to health care confirming gender, has caused a strong opposition from Transgender Rights advocates.
8. Diplomatic tension with Ukraine
At a highly controversial moment in international relations, President Trump allegedly cursed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenky in an oval office, a dramatic break from traditional diplomatic decor. Trump’s harsh treatment of green and subsequent events led to a significant shift in American diplomacy and raised concerns about American attitude to foreign relations and its commitment to support global allies.
9. Harvard financial dispute
Trump also encountered the University of Harvard at the refusal of the school to meet the requirements of his administration. The administration threatened to freeze over $ 2 billion in federal financing and deprived its university of its status exempt from tax. In response, Harvard filed a lawsuit against Trump’s administration and claimed that the threat had undermined the academic independence of the school.
