Trump's executive orders can make change - but are limited and can be undone by the courts

Executive orders, like other unilateral actions, allow presidents to make policy outside of the regular lawmaking process. This leaves Congress, notoriously polarised and gridlocked, to respond. Thus, executive orders are unilateral actions that give presidents several advantages, allowing them to move first and act alone in policymaking.

Trump to order reversal of DEI and restoration of base names changed by Biden

President-elect Donald Trump is set to issue an executive order aimed at dismantling all diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives within the federal government, according to officials who briefed reporters Monday.
The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's plans to reverse diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives if he were to return to office. Trump aims to undo changes made by the Biden administration, particularly focusing on the renaming of military bases that were previously named after Confederate figures. These bases, like Fort Bragg, were renamed to remove Confederate associations as part of a broader push for racial equity. Trump's proposed actions include restoring the original names of these military installations, arguing that the changes represent an unnecessary and divisive alteration of American history. Additionally, Trump's policy would likely extend to other DEI programs across federal agencies, signaling a significant shift back towards traditional naming and policies.
