Trump planning flurry of executive orders for first day, top aide says

Donald Trump will mark the first day of his return to the White House by signing a spate of executive orders to reinstate signature policies from his first presidency that were revoked by Joe Biden, according to his incoming chief of staff.

Susie Wiles’s disclosure came in a closed-door meeting in Las Vegas of the Rockbridge Network, a group of conservative donors co-founded by Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, the New York Times reported.

She did not specify which policies were likely to be reintroduced in the flurry of signing that is expected on Trump’s first day back in the Oval Office.

But several of Trump’s higher-profile executive orders that Biden revoked include leaving the Paris climate agreement, withdrawing from the World Health Organization (WHO) and banning entry to citizens from a list of predominantly Muslim countries.

All three policies were reversed by executive orders signed by Biden after he took office in January 2021.

Also cancelled by Biden but expected to be revived immediately is the Schedule F initiative, which would remove job security from about 50,000 civil servants and enable them to be fired and replaced with rightwing loyalists. Such a move would be in line with the Heritage Foundation thinktank’s controversial Project 2025 agenda, which envisions a radical overhaul of American government.

Bastard never mention that they wanted a radical overhaul of the American government. From what I saw they wanted cheeper eggs and affordable houses. I guess the joke is on them.
