If the last four years were a nightmare of incompetence under Joe Biden, the first month of President Trump’s second term has been nothing short of a masterclass in leadership. The man walked back into the White House and wasted no time undoing Biden’s reckless policies, reasserting American sovereignty, and bulldozing the bureaucratic rot in Washington.
Trump’s opening month has been historic, largely thanks to a flurry of executive orders that have already reshaped key policies. On Day One, he went straight for the jugular of Biden’s disastrous open-border policies—declaring a national emergency at the border, revoking birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants, reinstating Remain in Mexico, and ending catch and release. Just like that, the days of incentivizing illegal immigration with free hotel stays and taxpayer-funded handouts are over.
In a stunning move, the department also dismantled the U.S. Agency for International Development for funneling taxpayer money into left-wing pet projects overseas. Oh, and remember FEMA? Turns out, some bureaucrats there thought it was a great idea to spend $59 million housing illegal immigrants in luxury hotels—so Trump fired them.
But here’s the thing about executive orders—they’re only as good as the president who signs them. Just like Trump wiped out Biden’s policies in a matter of days, a future Democrat could try to reverse everything. That’s why House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is pushing to enshrine Trump’s policies into actual legislation. Speaking at CPAC, Johnson made it clear:
“The president [has] 300 executive actions already, and we’re going to codify so much of what he’s doing so the next team can’t unwind it.”
Translation? The GOP is working to make sure Trump’s America First agenda sticks—no matter who takes office next.
Meanwhile, Johnson also made headlines when he addressed the ongoing money pit known as the war in Ukraine. When asked if Congress was prepared to approve yet another funding bill, the CPAC crowd booed loudly—a clear sign that the base is done with endless wars. Johnson didn’t hesitate, agreeing that it’s time to end the conflict and backing Trump’s no-nonsense approach to negotiations.
One month in, Trump is already reshaping America for the better. The border is being secured, the government is being purged of corruption, and wasteful spending is being cut. Now, with Johnson and House Republicans working to cement these policies into law, Trump’s legacy is about to become permanent—exactly the way it should be.
