Appointments and policy pronouncements forming the foundation of Trump's MAGA 2.0 vision, and expert analyses on his second term as US president
Upon his return to the White House on January 20, President Donald Trump hit the ground running in fulfilling his campaign promises, drawing applause from his supporters and condemnation from rights advocates as he sought to lay the groundwork of his version of the American dream.
He pardoned nearly everyone criminally charged with participating in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, as well as for Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht. He issued a series of executive orders, including the withdrawal of the United States from the Paris climate deal and the World Health Organization. Consistent with his campaign pledge, he vowed to impose harsh immigration policies, including an end to birthright citizenship.
Here are Trump’s measures and policy pronouncements in his first 100 days in office — the foundation of his MAGA 2.0 vision — as well as expert analysis and hot takes as he embarked on his second term. We also list the appointments he announced ahead of his inauguration.
