Upon taking office, former President Donald Trump wasted no time in signing over 200 executive actions, significantly impacting a range of policy areas, particularly immigration, healthcare, and labor regulations. Among the most notable of these actions was the directive to dismantle parts of the Affordable Care Act, reflecting Trump’s ongoing commitment to repeal and replace the landmark healthcare law that has been a focal point of his political agenda. In addition, Trump imposed a freeze on hiring for federal employees, stipulating that agencies must seek approval before adding new positions. His immigration policies included a reinstatement of the travel ban on certain countries and the resumption of construction on the border wall, which has been a cornerstone of his campaign rhetoric. Trump’s swift actions are indicative of his strategy to re-establish his administration’s stance on these critical issues immediately. ‘We are officially delivering on our promises,’ Trump stated during a press briefing, highlighting the urgency of his agenda. The implications of these executive decisions will undoubtedly stir significant dialogue across the political landscape as they challenge existing regulations and practices.
