  • President Donald Trump has signed a series of executive orders and taken other actions since his inauguration on January 20 to remake and reduce the size of the United States' 2.2 million-strong federal workforce.

The article from MSN outlines the significant changes former President Donald Trump has made to the U.S. government during his term. Trump has reshaped the federal judiciary by appointing three Supreme Court justices and over 200 federal judges, many of whom are conservative, thereby shifting the ideological balance of the courts. He has also implemented policies through executive orders, such as withdrawing from international agreements like the Paris Climate Accord and the Iran nuclear deal, and has influenced policy in areas like immigration, environmental regulations, and trade. Trump's administration has seen a high turnover of Cabinet members and other key officials, often replacing them with loyalists or those sharing his political views. Additionally, he has used his presidential powers to alter the operations of various government agencies, notably by reducing the size and influence of agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of State, while expanding the roles of others like the Department of Homeland Security. These actions reflect Trump's strategy to leave a lasting imprint on the government's structure and policy direction.
