This time with gloves off and in full-frontal mode! He’s off and running and he’s got something to prove and that is he keeps his promises, those of the unsavoury kind!
As promised, his first day back in the Oval Office was a flurry of activity and that pen, the one he uses to sign the executive orders saw little rest as the 47th president and now Commander-in-Chief showed the world and America, “Don’t f**k with me!” He doesn’t always mean what he says but if you cross him or get caught in the cross hairs, there’s a price to pay.
Let’s forget about kinder and gentler, that was never his strong suit. It’s all on the surface but what dwells within is a whole different story altogether. We saw “kinder and gentler” depart two days ago when former president, Joe Biden and First Lady, Jill Biden took their last flight out of there.
Now, it’s first things first as far as the “new sheriff” is concerned. He has pardoned and commuted sentences of “roughly 1500 defendants charged with crimes connected to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, including some convicted of assaulting police officers.” He has also directed the attorney general to dismiss all indictments pending related to the largest federal investigation ever. I guess now that he has walked free, the others deserve the same as well. Who cares about rule of law? He definitely doesn’t. Let me take that back. He does but only when it pertains to him and his supporters.
He has also ordered all federal diversity, equity and inclusion employees be placed on paid leave starting Wednesday and he has directed government agencies to draw up plans for firing workers in DEI roles. Why? He wants to end “the scourge of DEI and return America to a merit based society.” Right…someone should tell him that “color,” “race,” and “religion,” has always played a big part in American society. Let’s take it way back, why don’t we? Former President Joe Biden signed actions bolstering racial equality when he took office in 2021. Let’s undo them all is Trump’s priority.
He also signed numerous executive orders affecting LGBTQ people and immigrants. Two of his pet peeves. There will be more to come as he puts his “revenge” agenda front and center!
Is your head spinning? I know mine is. Shoes on and off in nature to let it calm my frazzled nerves.
Have an amazing day.
