The 2nd Trump admin so far---simplified edition---

I saw a post on reddit asking what Trump has done so far, but my reply was too long, so I thought it'd be worth adding here instead

Main points are emboldened, sub points/related actions are italicized→

1. Instated tariffs(taxes on companies when they import goods and products from foreign countries into the US) on all countries except for North Korea and Russia. These tariffs have caused markets to plunge and have raised prices greatly for just about all products in the US. The way that works is that, many people have the misconceptions that tariffs are a tax on foreign governments, but that is not the case. They are a tax on companies importing products made in specific foreign countries to the US. These companies, to make up for the loss of money from the tax, raise their product prices---therefore, the buyers, Americans, have to pay 200 more dollars for their iphone that was fabricated in Taiwan, and 10 more for their coffee, the beans that were used to make it being able to be grown almost exclusively in equatorial countries. Raising product prices is also cheaper than bringing their(tariffed companies') manufacturing force back to the US. The tariffs have also been placed on countries with incredibly small populations, such as McDonald island, with a population of 0. There are now fears of a recession, or historic depression, as we are more than likely to lose these trades wars.

Trumps ideas on tariffs are inspired by the books of Peter Navarro(a man who has also worked as an advisor for him), whose main source for the information in his books is Ron Vara, a fake person Navarro created to put into the resource sections of his books so his information would appear as if sourced from a real economist or historian, and not his own head.

2. Created ICE, an organization that raids locations where they suspect illegal immigrants are. These places can include homes, schools, offices, etc. So far, it has deported several people wrongly, such as a Maryland man, who specifically was ruled not to be deported, as he had escaped to the US from South America after being threated by gangs there. It has also defied court orders from judges to return planes carrying immigrants. Trump has also changed laws that allowed many foreigners to enter the country legally for years now, to make it so that, anyone who had entered the country in those ways in the past, are now illegals to be deported. They have also created a point system, where, if an individual gets 8pts, they can be deported, which has lead to the wrong deportation of a gay barber who had two tattoos on either of his arms of crowns, which earned him 4pts each.

These people are not detained or allowed to contact their lawyers when they are taken. They are immediately deported, without due process(The rule of law, for example, getting to speak to lawyers/getting a court hearing/getting thorough investigations or background checks before being deported). It has also been found that ICE has detained people and kept them in their(ICE's) vehicles before drafting the documents for their reason for detaining. Many on the left fear that soon a native American citizen will be racially profiled and deported to country they've never been to. Denying due process for anyone on US soil is illegal and unconstitutional.

3. (somewhat related to ICE)Detained/Inhumanely detained foreign travelers(NON-immigrants) who attempt entering the US legally. For example, an Australian MMA coach and youtuber visiting the US for a seminar who had a slight mistake in his VISA, who was kept in a federal prison directly among actual criminals for 24 hours. Some of the guards spoke to him as if he were a criminal, and he got involved in a fight with an inmate attempting to steal his(the MMA coach's) items. He details the story of his experience on his Instagram account: coachsubotic. Or a French scientist who was detained and denied entry for having messages criticizing Trump on his phone.

and

Detained immigrant young people who have insulted the administration or have openly supported the liberation of Palestine, justice for Palestinian civilians, and end of the genocide(ethnic cleansing/mass murder of a certain people group) of Palestinians. For example, a Turkish woman who travelled to the US to get an education, who was kidnapped off the sidewalk by police officers wearing masks because of a plead in an article written by her, asking the US government to consider divesting(un-investing) in Israel. Her plead was deemed "support for Hamas" and her VISA was revoked without her being notified. She was taken from Massachusetts to Louisiana. At one point, her lawyers had no way of knowing where she was located, and therefore, no idea what jurisdiction she was under for them to make a petition for her VISA to be reapproved. Or a Chinese student who came to the US when she was 7 years old who got her green card revoked for having attended peaceful protests fighting against the expulsion of students who had publicly defended Palestine.

4. Created a crypto-currency rug-pull(also known as coins, meme-coins, or shit-coins) called $TRUMP. Its somewhat complicated to explain what a crypto-currency is from the start, but to put it simply, there things that people can invest their money into, just like stocks, and a rug-pull is when the creator of the crypto-currency 'pulls out', which is a way of stealing all the money that investors invested.

5. Pardoned January 6th, 2021 rioters who broke into and vandalized the capitol building. Many officers were assaulted by rioters that day. The capitol building itself had to undergo heavy repairs. Trump incited this riot because he did not accept the result of the 2020 election and believes it was stolen and fraudulent. Rioting and riot incitation is illegal.

6. Threatened to annex Canada, Greenland, and the Panama canal.

Threatened to annex Canada: This has eroded the relationship of the two most culturally similar and closest allied nations in history. There isn't anything in particular the US would gain from this besides population, land area, and some negligible natural resources such as more snow or plants that probably only in that biome.

Threatened to annex Greenland: This is because Greenland is, despite being enlarged by the common map projection(ways that a spherical globe is broken and stretched to be placed on a rectangular map), a relatively sizeable landmass in a good geo-political location on earth, and, as global warming continues and more parts of Artic Ocean melt away and open up, Russia and the US(Canada rather, though next is us) have a direct northern route to each other. Because of this, Trump wants to annex Greenland, a Danish territory currently seeking sovereignty(independence). Typically, countries would just place military bases in a sovereign point of interest like this (for example, all the US military bases in the Philippines, Japan, and just about every country surrounding Eastern China) so it is atypical to imperialize in the Contemporary era for this reason.

The Panama canal has been taken. The background to this is imperial desire is that originally, the US helped Panama gain independence from Colombia in the early 1900's specifically to build the Panama canal.

This(alongside the trade wars) has caused almost all countries on Earth to lose a centuries worth of trust we had earned, and eroded American hegemony(dominance/significance in the world).

7. Not attended the transfer of the bodies of four American soldiers(Dignified transfer) who died during training in Lithuania back to the US. Presidents typically attend dignified transfers as a way of honoring the men who have fallen for the sake of the country.

8. Banned Trans people from participating in the military and asked for anyone experiencing gender dysphoria(dissatisfaction with ones own gender at birth and belief that ones gender at birth, also known as biological sex, is not the same as their gender, or gender expression) to leave. This means trans Americans will no longer get the chance to serve their country or gain the military benefits that every other able-bodied American can if they so choose.

9. Discussed a 3rd Presidential term multiple times. Serving more than 2 presidential terms is illegal and unconstitutional.

10. Ruled that there are only two genders in the United States, that women are females, and that females are "person[s] belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell" and men are males, and males are "person[s] belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell". This means that everyone in the United States is Agender(Genderless) as no human being has either large or small reproductive cells at conception(though, people often make the joke that 'everyone is female' as the tissue there looks akin to a female reproductive cell early on).

11. Changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to 'The Gulf of America', and the name of Mt. Diwali(The name the native peoples gave it, and that we've recognized as a way of respecting them) to 'Mt. McKinley.'

12. Allowed a civilian without clearance to enter official meetings. Allowed a civilian who was not approved by Congress to handle a government department. This civilian stayed in the country illegally, defying the constraints of his VISA, and is therefore an illegal immigrant. This civilian has about 500 billion dollars in his bank account.

13. (Adjacent, but significant)DOGE(Department of Government Efficiency):

One of the first things they did was fire hundreds of FAA(Federal Aviation Administration) employees, who keep planes in the air and organized. There has now been an uptick in plane close calls and mishaps, such as a plane flipping and landing upside-down. They have also defunded the national parks, which bring in magnitudes more than the amount that is spent on them. They have also defunded science research, such as research for curing cancer and making cancer aid more efficient. They also made cuts to social security(tax money allocated to aid Americans in their old age).

Hundreds of employees from other departments and gov. funded sectors have also been fired, re-hired, and paid for their time away, meaning a loss of thousands of peoples worth of money for time where they were not allowed to work, therefore, money was spent on work that that was not done, and unnecessarily not allowed to have been done.

14. Allowed Bibles to be required to be present in all classrooms and effectively rendered the point of public schooling void, as public schools exist specifically to be inclusive to all students and not encourage only one identity. So far, this is only the case in Oklahoma, but the fed has yet to declare it unconstitutional and force the requirement to be dissolved. This defies one of the founding American principles of separating church and state. It is illegal and unconstitutional to involve the church with the state.

15. Removed DEI(Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) laws, which have historically existed to fight against discrimination, primarily racial(intentional and unconscious racial biases), in the job hiring process, and to fight against discrimination in the work place. Often before DEI, people with high merits and achievements were not hired due to conscious or unconscious racial biases. This means those racial, among other biases, will begin affecting people searching for employment once again.

16. Taken down government website pages of significant historical American figures who are minorities, such as famous baseball player Jackie Robinson. They have also taken down the Spanish version of the white house site.

17. Made voting and updating social security more difficult for the disabled. Now people, including the elderly and disabled(for example, an elderly man who DOGE employees decided was dead who had to drive a long distance to reassure that he was alive,) have to travel to voting offices and social security offices to vote and make sure their social security is intact.

Many of these laws have directly been caused by Trump using executive orders, which have yet to be deemed as going beyond his executive power or not. A loophole in the Constitution is that, there are no constitutional enforcements of judges orders, therefore the things judges deem only follow through if people in the government recognize it, which is why nothing has occurred to Trump or his appointees for the mentioned crimes, pre 2nd admin crimes, pre 1st admin crimes, and the following crimes.

---Adjacent---

1. Hegseth(one of the people Trump appointed) created a group chat on a non government messaging site called 'Signal' and discussed classified information with other high government individuals. We know this because he accidentally added a reporter, Jeffrey Goldberg, to the group. Only government messaging sites are allowed for classified messaging. He was also recently found to be doing classified messaging on Gmail. Insecure messaging such as these, especially google, can be hacked or accessed by foreign intelligence. Classified messaging on non-government channels is illegal.

2. His wife has a rug-pull of her own as well, $MELANIA.

3. Elon Musk(one of the people trump approved, who was not appointed by Congress) raised a sieg heil(a hand signal, where the arm is raised forward, pointing straight, at an angle. The hand signal supports the Third Reich, also known as Nazi Germany). The hand sign is debated to be intentional or accidental. He has also been supporting AfD, a neo-Nazi party in Germany that is essentially revising history and downplaying the Holocaust.

4. R.F.K(one of the people Trump appointed) has indirectly caused the first measles death in the US since 2015 with his anti-vaccine rhetoric.
