During his first day on January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump put multiple impactful and disputed plans into action. At the start of his presidency, President Trump established clear directions about how his term would shake up leadership while causing intense division. This section details all major developments from his initial return to the White House.
After taking office, President Trump ordered federal agencies to declassify all remaining documents about Jack Kennedy John Kennedy Jr. Bob Kennedy, and Martin Luther King. The public stands eager to learn more because President Trump's executive decision may reveal answers to famous unsolved crimes of past decades.
Those who support the move say it shows strong support for open government while critics express worries about surprising public safety and historical accuracy impacts. The president took action by attempting to stop automatic U.S. citizenship from being given to anyone born on American soil under current constitutional rules. When the order was implemented officials in Seattle received court approval for a temporary halt to its implementation.
According to experts, the order violates the Fourteenth Amendment's right to citizenship even though supporters say it fixes immigration problems.
To change the direction of his presidency Trump chose Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense. The Senate approved Hegseth's nomination even though it faced evidence of previous misconduct and did so by just one vote.
Trump selected Hegseth because he wants staff who share his political views instead of following normal hiring practices. As a veteran media figure, Hegseth presents strongly conservative defense and security opinions which both supporters and opponents discuss. People debated how well-qualified top officials should be compared to their political beliefs during Hegseth's appointment review.
The public closely watches how Trump grants presidential pardons. He released from prison several people who faced charges for leading anti-abortion demonstrations and joining the Capitol insurrection on January 6. People question if these pardons increase political violence by breaking the law.
Trump supporters believe his prosecutorial decisions correct unfair political prosecutions according to their perspective. Trump uses executive clemency to win support from his base while ignoring what most people agree on in decision-making. Trump revived trade conflicts with China by starting new tariffs on their exported products.
Stock markets in Hong Kong and mainland China experienced a direct impact when the president announced new tariffs on Chinese imports. The new tariffs against China aim to resolve trade inequalities but cause worries about foreign backlash that could hurt worldwide commerce.
The U.S. government and economists watch this situation because it will influence the nation's economy and international political relationships.
Trump has worked to undo many environmental rules along with his trade actions. As environmentalists and world leaders decry his decision Trump signed an executive order to leave the Paris climate agreement. Trump says the deal imposes too many economic rules on the US without making other big polluters follow them.
The president canceled electric vehicle production rules since they threatened established automobile firms. Under Trump's leadership, he continues to put economic growth and energy self-reliance ahead of environmental preservation just as he promised during his political campaign. Trump formally announced a national emergency caused by illegal immigration within the United States.
The national emergency order lets the U.S. put 10,000 troops on the Mexico border while giving federal agencies more authority to speed up deportation procedures. He has maintained border wall-building activities and brought back the "Remain in Mexico" procedure that needs asylum seekers to stay in Mexico during their case evaluation.
People who support these initiatives say they work to defend our borders and handle immigration challenges. Critics say these policies make humanitarian crises worse while breaking international laws about refugee protection. Through his executive order "Ending the Weaponization of the Federal Government" Trump announced plans to investigate and punish federal employees who work against his administration.
Trump's executive order lists two government departments as targets for alleged misuse of power against his political opponents. The public disagrees about whether Trump's actions will help remove bad officials while making federal institutions political.
Trump does more than adjust national policies because he works to change how people think about his presidency and political society. His presidency uses social media events and news updates to spread information about the results his team has achieved. He uses this approach to keep his supporters active and answer back to the news media critics.
Throughout his presidency, Trump continues to control media coverage just as he did in his previous political career and wants to use this power to push his goals. Trump has begun his presidency by working to achieve his campaign objectives and put his ideas about America into action. The early stage of Trump's presidency showed both his strong leadership and the wide differences between Americans.
His backers consider his moves strong and vital yet his opponents call them dangerous and divisive. The next few months will show if Trump's presidency leads the nation and world in a specific direction. Through his first weeks in office, President Donald Trump showed his determination to govern differently and take bold action.
From executive orders and controversial picks, Trump has made strategic policy adjustments while building his public message to show his presidency differs from previous norms. As the nation grapples with the implications of these developments, one thing is certain: Trump's work in office will influence politics and society throughout the upcoming decades.
