The Trump Presidency Timeline

Alarming healthcare advocates, President Donald Trump has revoked several initiatives implemented by the previous administration to reduce prescription drug prices under Medicare and Medicaid. Among the rescinded measures were a $2 copay cap for generic medications and programs designed to lower costs for drugs granted accelerated FDA approval. Additionally, a program intended to assist Medicaid in affording expensive cell and gene therapies has been halted. Critics argue that these rollbacks could lead to increased out-of-pocket expenses for patients and strain public health programs. He's on government healthcare, what does he care?

In a move that just screams 'unity', the Trump administration has decided to put federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) staff on paid leave. Because nothing says 'equality' like axing any programs that might actually promote it. Trump's executive orders accused the Biden administration of encouraging discrimination by, you know, trying to include everyone. In other words, discrimination is bad unless it fits into Trump's dystopian vision of 'making America great again'. Federal employees are now being asked to out any covert DEI activities—because apparently, diversity was the real enemy all along.

In a move that will surely go down as one of the most bold and ethical decisions of his presidency, Donald Trump has generously decided to grant blanket pardons to over 1,500 individuals who participated in the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6. After all, when murderers are walking free (according to Trump), why should seditious conspirators face any consequences? Trump, ever the champion of justice, has also included pardons for leaders of extremist groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. Because nothing says 'restoring democracy' quite like absolving those who tried to dismantle it. Even some Republicans are raising eyebrows at this move, with Senator Thom Tillis drawing the line at pardoning those who assaulted police officers. But fear not, Trump assures us that the real criminals were pardoned by Biden, who dared to protect congressional staff from politically motivated witch hunts.

In a move sure to be remembered as a shining example of justice, President Trump has extended his benevolent hand to over 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants, dishing out pardons like they were candy at a Fourth of July parade. In other words, 'reconciliation' now means wiping the slate clean for folks who turned 'peaceful protest' into an episode of American Gladiators with police officers as unwilling contestants. Jan. 6's very own reality star, Jacob 'QAnon Shaman' Chansley, wasted no time in sharing his gratitude, proclaiming his eagerness to buy more guns—because nothing says 'thanks for the freedom' like rearming. Meanwhile, law enforcement officers who got their 'thanks' through PVC pipes and bear spray are left wondering if their sacrifices were just part of a really bad TV script. But sure, Trump says we're starting a 'process of national reconciliation'—a process where accountability and consequences are clearly optional.

In a bold stroke of presidential 'genius', President Trump kicked off his new term by signing executive orders to eradicate those pesky federal DEI guidelines. After all, nothing screams 'unity' quite like dismantling initiatives aimed at racial equality and LGBTQ rights. Picture Trump at his inaugural podium, promising to end this 'social engineering' nonsense—because anything beyond white male privilege is just too much social work. Ambassador Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley, former head of DEIA at the State Department, calmly dismantled Trump's 'colorblind meritocracy' fantasy, highlighting that merit-based decisions didn't traditionally favor just one homogenous group. But sure, President Trump, let's pretend centuries of systemic bias can be 'out-executived' into oblivion.

In a move that has reignited debates over the ethics of profiting from incarceration, President Donald Trump has rescinded Executive Order 14006, which previously directed the Department of Justice to phase out the use of privately operated criminal detention facilities. This decision reverses the policy implemented during the Obama administration and reinstated by President Joe Biden in 2021, which aimed to reduce profit-based incentives in the prison system. Critics argue that for-profit prisons have historically been associated with higher rates of violence and substandard conditions compared to publicly operated facilities. The revival of private prison contracts is expected to benefit major corporations in the industry, raising concerns about the influence of profit motives on incarceration policies. Industries that control human lives should never be for profit, because these assholes prove time and time again that they will gladly take the profits and fuck the people.

perfectly encapsulating the "pro-life" ethos of his party, Trump has signed an executive order mandating the Attorney General to seek the death penalty whenever possible. Got an undocumented person accused of a crime? Death penalty. A law enforcement officer tragically killed? Death penalty. It’s as if Trump’s approach to “public safety” is to make executions a national pastime. Critics are calling it cruel and discriminatory, while supporters insist it’s about justice—because nothing says “valuing life” like expanding the ways to end it. If irony had a face, it would be this executive order. It's not like we've ever gotten this wrong before, right?

In a move that rolls back decades of progress, President Donald Trump has terminated Executive Order 11246, a historic directive signed by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965 to ensure non-discriminatory practices in hiring. For nearly 60 years, this order required federal contractors to promote equal opportunity regardless of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Critics argue that its repeal opens the door to workplace discrimination, undermines diversity initiatives, and sends a troubling message about the federal government's commitment to equality. Once a cornerstone of civil rights progress, this protection is now history—leaving many to wonder what comes next.

In a controversial policy shift, President Donald Trump has authorized Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to conduct arrests in previously protected areas such as churches, schools, and hospitals, urging the agency to use 'common sense' in their operations. This decision reverses a 2011 policy that designated these locations as sensitive, where enforcement actions were generally avoided to ensure access to essential services and maintain community trust. Critics argue that this move could deter individuals from seeking education, medical care, or spiritual support, fearing potential detention or deportation. Advocacy groups express concern that the policy undermines fundamental humanitarian principles and may lead to increased anxiety within immigrant communities.

The petty whiny baby bitch of a president is being a whiny bitch and terminating the security detail of John Bolton, a former national security advisor to the Trump administration, despite credible threats against Bolton's life from Iran. Bolton, who has been under 24-hour protection since December 2021 due to an Iranian assassination plot, expressed disappointment at the decision. The plot, attributed to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was reportedly in retaliation for the U.S. killing of Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani. Critics argue that removing Bolton's security detail amid ongoing threats endangers his safety and may embolden hostile actors

Turning 50,000 federal career civil servants into political appointees is like swapping out your car’s engine for a Twitter poll—it’s a catastrophically bad idea. These roles are meant to be nonpartisan, staffed by experts who keep the government running smoothly regardless of who’s in charge. Politicizing them means putting loyalty above competence and turning vital agencies into extensions of the ruling party’s agenda. Goodbye steady governance, hello chaos and corruption! If you thought bureaucracy was slow now, wait until every decision hinges on who’s wearing the right color tie. This isn’t draining the swamp; it’s flooding it with partisan quicksand.

Pardoned from his life sentence for running the Silk Road black market marketplace and for various murder for hire plots, Ross Ulbricht is now free, and guess what!? the feds have been sitting on over 6 billion dollars worth of crypto currency, that they could release back to him and he can then sell and maybe even funnel some to trump via his stupid fucking memeshitcoin

In a move that clearly exemplifies the Trump administration's lack technological understanding or concern for the security of the United States, the Department of Homeland Security has decided to remove all of its advisory committees. This decision comes after a series of high-profile breaches and hacks that have exposed sensitive information and put the nation's security at risk.

In a stunning move that totally doesn't scream 'killing democracy,' President Trump has graciously extended his pardon pen to 1,500 January 6 rioters. Yes, the same folks who thought storming the Capitol was their patriotic duty now get a free pass, courtesy of our dear leader. Because nothing says 'law and order' like forgiving Enrique Tarrio for his 22-year vacay in federal prison and Stewart Rhodes for his 18-year stay. In other words, 'patriots' and 'hostages' (as Trump calls them) can now return to their regularly scheduled programming of, well, whatever they do when they're not plotting 'civil war.' But sure, let's keep pretending this isn't a giant middle finger to justice.

In a dazzling display of brilliance, former President Donald Trump has launched his very own cryptocurrency meme coin, $TRUMP, which yo-yos in value just like his political stances. Kicking off at $6.50 and skyrocketing to $73—because nothing screams 'financial stability' like a coin based on internet jokes—it nosedived to under $40 post-inauguration, but sure, have fun! Meanwhile, First Lady Melania Trump joined the grift parade with $MELANIA, proving that even the supporting cast gets a slice of the crypto pie. Trump, who once likened crypto to a 'scam,' now embraces it like a long-lost friend—because who wouldn't want to rely on the financial sector known for its volatility and history of fraud? The $TRUMP coin is emblazoned with his 'battle cry' of 'FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT,' which should also be the marketing slogan for anyone considering investing in this circus.

Donald Trump is doling out temporary security clearances to staffers who haven’t even been vetted yet. Forget background checks—apparently, loyalty to Trump is the only credential that matters. Critics warn this practice risks sensitive national security information falling into unqualified or even dangerous hands. But hey, when you’re running a government like a reality show, why let minor details like vetting get in the way of casting? For those who may not have been paying attention, the last time this happened they requested names of spies and then we started miraculously losing spies.

After spending the last few months supporting Germany's right right aff party, Elon Musk has finally decided to show his true colors. Twitter has been flooded with pro nazi content, and it's one of the reasons advertisers have fled his flailing platform. I fucking hate nazis.

President Donald Trump has issued sweeping pardons to over 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riot, including those convicted of seditious conspiracy and assaulting police officers with dangerous weapons. Because nothing says "support our police" like absolving those who attacked them with bats. Critics argue this sets a perilous precedent, effectively giving future insurrectionists a hall pass. This sets a scary precedent that says 'if you commit violence on my behalf, I'll bail you out

In a move that has left thousands of migrant families stranded and desperate, President Donald Trump has terminated the CBP One app, a critical tool that allowed asylum seekers to schedule legal entry into the United States. This abrupt decision, coinciding with his inauguration, has canceled appointments for migrants from countries including Venezuela, Cuba, Colombia, and Peru, who now face uncertainty and despair at the U.S.-Mexico border. The CBP One app, introduced in 2023 during the Biden administration, facilitated nearly 1 million legal entries by allowing migrants to schedule appointments at designated border crossings. Its sudden shutdown has not only invalidated existing appointments but also dismantled a system that provided a safer and more organized pathway for those fleeing violence and poverty. Migrants like Nidia Montenegro, who traveled from Venezuela to Tijuana with hopes of reuniting with family in the U.S., received notifications that their long-awaited appointments were canceled. This policy shift is part of a broader strategy by the Trump administration to tighten immigration controls, including declaring a national emergency at the southern border and reinstating the "Remain in Mexico" policy. Critics argue that these measures not only violate U.S. refugee laws but also exacerbate the humanitarian crisis at the border, leaving vulnerable families in perilous conditions without legal recourse.

In a move that screams "Who needs the 14th Amendment?", President-elect Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants. Because, apparently, centuries-old constitutional provisions are just suggestions, right? Legal scholars are already warming up to remind him that such a change requires, you know, an actual constitutional amendment. But why bother with due process when you can just scribble your signature and call it a day? It's a bold strategy, Cotton; let's see if it pays off in court.
