President Trump has signed 74 executive orders, 20 memoranda and seven proclamations within his first 30 days, according to a Scripps News tally.
The article from WTVR CBS 6 outlines President Donald Trump's first 30 days in office, highlighting a series of rapid government changes and controversial actions. Trump's administration began with a flurry of executive orders, including the controversial travel ban affecting seven Muslim-majority countries, which sparked protests and legal challenges. He also moved to dismantle parts of the Affordable Care Act, initiated the construction of a border wall with Mexico, and withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. Additionally, Trump's administration saw significant cabinet confirmations, with figures like Jeff Sessions for Attorney General and Betsy DeVos for Education Secretary, the latter confirmed by a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Mike Pence. These actions reflect Trump's campaign promises but have also led to widespread debate and division over policy implications and executive overreach.
