God saved me to make America great again. This was stated by the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump, referring to the assassination attempt against him during the election campaign. Will Trump become the 13th apostle with his “teaching“, which aims to make “… America great again“.
“America's Golden Age begins now. From this day forward, our country will flourish. All nations will envy us and will not take advantage of us. Every day of my administration, I will put America first. Our sovereignty will be won back, and safety – restored. The scales of justice will be balanced again, Trump said. - I was given the mandate to undo many betrayals and restore freedom. We will restore the integrity, competence and loyalty of the United States government. I have learned a lot. Those who want to stop our causes have tried to take my freedom, they have tried to take my life. My life was saved for a purpose. God saved me so that I could make America great again.“
“We will sign a series of executive orders. With them, we will begin the return to normal. I will declare a state of emergency on our southern border. I will send troops to the southern border to repel an invasion. We will declare the cartels a foreign terrorist organization,“ he added.
“We will measure our success by the wars we win and the wars we do not enter. I will be a peacemaker and a unifier. Now the hostages are returning to their families. We will change the name of the Gulf of Mexico. It will be the Gulf of America. We gave the Panama Canal, not China. Now we are taking it back. It is time to act boldly,” Trump said.
“Our power will stop all wars and bring unity to the entire world. We will be proud, prosperous, victorious. We will not fail. The United States will be a free and sovereign nation. We will dream and nothing will stand in our way“, President Donald Trump concluded his speech.
And a new life began for America, but what decrees, pardon the commandments of God, did Trump sign on his first day. Trump immediately distanced himself from the Biden administration and repealed 78 decrees of his predecessor. Here are some of them:
Abolished the death penalty
From 2021 There is a moratorium on federal executions in the US, and now Trump has ordered the death penalty to be carried out in all states. His decision will certainly reach the courts, but the US public is divided on the issue.
Only two genders
Trump also issued an executive order declaring that the US will only recognize "two genders - male and female". The order will affect the government's transgender policy, their civil rights, and federal funding. It will also affect official documents such as passports and visas.
"American Gulf"
Trump ordered the Secretary of the Interior to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to "American Gulf".
Withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement
The decision will take effect in a year. During his first term, Trump withdrew the US from the agreement, but that only lasted a few months, as Joe Biden reinstated the country in the international agreement, signed by 195 countries. So far, no other member has withdrawn.
Cuba
Joe Biden decided to remove Cuba from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism, and Trump reversed that decision.
End of global minimum tax
Trump announced that the global minimum corporate tax agreement would no longer apply to the US. It was concluded in 2021 by the Biden administration and provided for a minimum tax rate of 15%. The agreement is primarily intended to prevent international corporations from shifting their profits to tax havens, and nearly 140 countries have joined it.
State of emergency on the Mexican border
Trump declared a state of emergency on the border with Mexico and sent the military there. He also temporarily canceled all scheduled asylum interviews through the CBP One application. Trump threatened to deport millions of illegal immigrants from the United States and declared war on the cartels.
Withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO)
Trump believes that the WHO has not handled the coronavirus pandemic and other health crises well enough. The United States is the organization's largest donor and provides about 18% of its total funding. In July 2020, Trump announced that he would withdraw the US from the WHO and halt funding, but Biden reversed that decision a few months later.
He pardons hundreds of those who stormed the Capitol
About 1,500 Trump supporters who are under investigation, have charges or convictions for their participation in the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021, have been pardoned. In addition, the sentences of 14 convicts are already considered served. These are members of the right-wing extremist organizations "Proud Boys" and "Oath Keepers", who were accused of particularly serious crimes.
End of citizenship for those born in the United States
Trump signed a presidential decree that would take away the right of people born in the United States to automatically receive citizenship. However, it is enshrined in the country's constitution. Trump argues that this should not apply if the mother entered the country illegally or is only in the United States temporarily. Various human rights organizations have announced that they will oppose the decree in court.
TikTok remains active - for now
Trump also signed an executive order giving TikTok another 75 days to find a buyer in the US before it has to stop operating in the country. However, the Chinese company categorically refuses to sell 50% of its business in America, as is required.
Energy emergency and suspension of development aid
In order to significantly increase domestic energy production, Trump declared an energy emergency. The aim is to simplify the extraction of oil, gas, but also uranium, coal and critical raw materials and to speed up approval procedures, for example for the construction of pipelines. The measure is intended to help reduce energy costs for consumers and industry.
Trump also ordered a 90-day pause in U.S. aid to foreign countries until its effectiveness is assessed.
Stopping sanctions against Israeli settlers
The United States imposed sanctions on extremist Israeli settlers in the West Bank who are accused of violence against Palestinians. Trump reverses this decision. Israeli settlers celebrate his election because they believe he will support illegal settlements.
