Former president Donald Trump recently signed a series of executive orders to reshape the United States. During his first week in office, Trump signed more than a dozen executive orders aimed at immigration, climate change, oil drilling, medical research, military, and more.

  An executive order is a signed legal document from the President of the United States. They are used to direct the Executive Branch of the United States government, and they carry the weight of authority and allow the president to act on pressing issues. These documents have been used in the past for these critical moments before. Trump’s new executive orders highlight his determination to make changes in the current policies. In this article, we’ll be addressing the executive orders Trump has signed and the major impact they may have on society.

  Trump has covered many issues, one of the most notable ones being immigration. He introduced stricter policies for border security, including the “National Border of Security” executive order. This policy focuses on deporting unlawful migrants from the United States. Statistics from NBC News show that they’ve deported over 5,000 people in the U.S. from border control. 

  Another notable change is environmental regulation. Trump has decided to promote traditional energy, like oil and natural gas. This order will encourage oil drilling production in the United States.

  In addition, Trump has signed the “Gender-Affirming Care” executive order. This order is an attempt to end gender transitions for people under the age of 19. The order states, “It is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support” the transitioning for minors. Following up on that executive order, he also signed one declaring that there are only two genders: male and female.

  To conclude, Donald Trump’s use of executive powers brought a lot of attention to how much power a president should have. Some people think it helped him make quick decisions, while others worry it gave him too much control and hurt the balance of power in the government. This has made many people think about what’s fair, right, and what’s not when it comes to the president’s authority. It’s crucial to make sure presidents are held accountable so that the government stays fair and people can trust how decisions are made in the future.
