The new Era of the 2nd Term of the Presidency of Donald Trump.

 

Now, we have a new President. I and almost half of the country didn't vote for this new resident in the White House He is Donald Trump, who is a convicted felonious criminal, a pathological liar, and a fascist demagogue. Greed, vanity, ignorance, and political polarization encompass the MAGA cult. The establishment funds Trump, because much of the establishment agrees with Trump's views and Gilded Age philosophies. The oligarchy of the super wealthy with massive wealth and power has increased unprecedentedly for over four decades. The 2025 controversial inauguration ceremony is over. The ceremony was held in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda (because of the extremely cold frigid temperatures outside) filled with billionaires like Bezos, Elon Musk, Zuckerberg, etc. who sold out for profit and political prestige. Many Democrats had no other choice but to be in the ceremonies because they are elected officials. We can respect basic human dignity without respecting retrograde, reactionary policies. Former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris were there. The MAGA supporters in the Capitol One stadium (in Washington, D.C.) booed Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama. That reality exposes their hypocrisy (these MAGA hypocrites claim to believe in family values and decency, but they disrespected people at an inauguration event). 

As the 47th President of the United States of America, Donald Trump is very clear in his inauguration speech about his agenda. Trump attacked the Biden administration because of his many progressive policies. Trump wanted "A Golden Age," executed many executive orders, and dealt with immigration matters (now immigration raids are taking place in Boston and other places). Trump lied that no one in California defended the wildfires in Los Angeles and the events of Hurricane Helene. Our democracy has been compromised. Trump wants to roll back energy initiatives (which have saved human lives) and wants to whitewash American history in his education agenda. You notice how these cowards staying on the sidelines on this issue are silent. At least people like us have spoken out against Trump's insane views while others who feel embarrassment are not talking. America produces more oil than any country in world history, but Trump is obsessed with drilling massively. This administration is influenced by billionaire corporate interests which is why Wall Street interests dominated the Trump administration ceremonies and the luncheon. Trump criticized Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for defending the essence of our nation in opposition to the terrorists who were involved in the January 6th insurrection. Trump wants to intimidate the media, promote non-qualified reactionaries in his cabinet, and seek his opponents to have apathy instead of courage to confront Trumpism. Vice President J.D. Vance called this ceremony beautiful. Many protesters of the Trump inauguration have existed along with the evil Proud Boys nearby in Washington, D.C. 

Trump hypocritically claims to want peace, but follows imperialism by desiring to annex Greenland, the Panama Canal, and Canada. He is silent on the oppression of the Palestinian people. Trump's acolytes are equally disgraceful. Elon Musk (who praised a fascist German Party called Afd, and supported anti-Semitic comments on X. Elon Musk's maternal grandparents were members of the Nazi Party in Canada and later moved to South Africa because they supported the Apartheid regime) gave a salute which looks similar to a Nazi salute on the first Day of Trump's new Presidency. This is lunacy and totally anti-freedom, but we can't lose hope. We must defend our rights and our democracy that our ancestors died for. Trump is obsessed with mass deportations (and banning birthright citizenship which is illegal as birthright citizenship is part of the 14th Amendment) when migrant crossings have radically declined. Trump is expected to promote executive orders which are bigoted and anti-democratic. We must always have hope for the next generation, so they can live in a future better than this current reality. We must always keep up the fight to reject bigotry and embrace justice for all.


Trump has passed over 10 executive orders recently. He pardoned the terrorists involved in the January 6th insurrection. One January 6th rioter Adam Christian Johnson (he posed with Rep. Pelosi's lectern) who pleaded guilty to storming the Capitol posed with Senator Fetterman of Pennsylvania recently. On immigration, people fear that eliminating legal pathways will cause more people to die trying to enter America. Trump declared a national emergency at the Southern border in a xenophobic fashion. After one day, we saw that Trump was back to his old tricks. Here are some of the recent bad policies that he has made. Trump rescinded the Biden Executive Order 14087 curbing drug prices. Trump had eliminated executive orders that help poor communities, black Americans, and other ethnic groups. Trump ended the humanitarian parole program for migrants fleeing Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (this includes hundreds of thousands of migrants). Trump believes in Manifest Destiny, so there is no doubt that Trump has a reactionary agenda.

Trump pardoning 1500 insurrectionists (who were involved in the January 6th insurrection) is disgraceful by Trump. The Qanon shaman (who was in the January 6th terrorist attack) said that he wanted to buy more guns. According to the New York Times, many Biden officials are getting lawyers in fear of retribution from the Trump administration. Trump in his inaugural address made a vile, hate-filled diatribe against the outgoing administration, immigrants, and other human beings. Trump has also made the Justice Department freeze its Civil Rights Division and freeze civil rights cases. The billionaire oligarchs at the location who are Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg (the three richest Americans) joined Trump and his agenda. Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, Charles Schumer, Bernie Sanders, Hakeem Jeffries, and others attended the ceremony when Trump berated them. Michelle Obama, to her credit, refused to join the inauguration ceremony after Trump questioned her husband's citizenship. That is why it is not unusual why Trump praised the record of President William McKinley (who stole the lands of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines in the Spanish-American War) and Andrew Jackson (who brutally oppressed Native Americans and was an austerity extremist). Trump wants to end birthright citizenship with his executive order which is wrong. Trump's Manifest Destiny views are repugnant. Trump pardoning January 6th terrorists shows his moral cowardice. The January 6th insurrectionists assaulted police officers, destroyed property, said racist slurs, waved Confederate and Neo-Nazi flags, threatened to hang Mike Pence, and desired to overthrow the legal 2020 election (these terrorists are called hostages by Donald Trump). Trump put all DEI federal workers on leave and wants to ban all federal DEI programs showing that he hates the power of diversity. This anti-democratic treason by Trump needs to be called out.
