  • Donald Trump has wasted no time getting to work on implementing his controversial policies since being inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, signing a number of executive orders and retracting a number Joe Biden had signed off.

The article from MSN discusses Donald Trump's most divisive executive orders and election pledges, highlighting actions that stirred significant controversy and debate. Key points include Trump's executive order banning travel from several Muslim-majority countries, often referred to as the "Muslim Ban," which was criticized for its discriminatory nature. Another notable action was his decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement, which aimed at combating climate change, drawing ire from environmentalists and international leaders. Trump also made pledges to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, promising that Mexico would pay for it, which became a symbol of his hardline immigration stance. Additionally, his administration rolled back numerous regulations, including those protecting the environment and healthcare, like the Affordable Care Act. His approach to law enforcement, including policies perceived as endorsing aggressive policing tactics, and his handling of the COVID-19 response, particularly his skepticism towards mask mandates and lockdowns, further polarized public opinion. These actions and pledges not only defined his presidency but also left a lasting impact on American politics and policy.
