  • President Trump began his pledge to give America a MAGA makeover Monday, taking a slew of executive actions to walk back Biden-era policies and fulfill bold campaign promises. The big picture: Trump's radical expansion of executive power will dramatically change life for millions of people if the orders withstand the barrage of legal challenges that are already coming.

The article from MSN outlines the executive orders signed by former President Donald Trump during his term from 2017 to 2021. These orders covered a wide range of policy areas reflecting his administration's priorities. Key actions included withdrawing from international agreements like the Paris Climate Accord and the Iran nuclear deal, imposing travel restrictions often referred to as the "Muslim Ban," promoting deregulation by reducing the regulatory burden on businesses, and addressing immigration with policies aimed at enhancing border security and altering asylum processes. Trump also used executive orders to influence healthcare, notably by attempting to dismantle parts of the Affordable Care Act, and to push for economic policies like tax cuts and changes in trade relations, particularly with China. Additionally, he signed orders to combat what he described as "lawlessness at the southern border," to promote energy independence through deregulation of the energy sector, and to address issues like human trafficking and veterans' affairs. These executive actions were often met with legal challenges and public debate, reflecting the contentious nature of his presidency.
