President-elect Donald Trump has a plan, and it doesn’t involve twiddling his thumbs in the Oval Office. He confidently declared that on day one, or in his case, within mere hours, he intends to obliterate a slew of President Biden’s executive orders, especially those pesky ones related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The man is ready to turn the White House into a ‘no-woke zone’ faster than a speeding bullet.
During a Victory Rally at the Capital One Arena in Washington, Trump expressed his eagerness to sign a barrage of executive orders straight away. According to him, the mere concept of dragging these actions out over weeks is a no-go. Instead, this is a culinary “grab-and-go” sort of situation where he’ll be signing more orders than an over-caffeinated barista on morning duty. Forget the slow rollout; Trump has got executive orders on the mind and he’s all set to unleash a deluge.

In what can only be described as a refreshing departure from the previous administration’s emphasis on social justice, Trump made it clear he plans to bring back the good ol’ merit-based system. This means that instead of checking boxes on some government-designated diversity bingo card, individuals will be assessed based purely on skill and capability. Imagine that—a world where hard work and talent count more than identity politics!
But he didn’t stop there; Trump also made some waves in the transparency department. He announced his plans to tackle what he dubbed the “overclassification of government documents.” This peculiar obsession with secrecy is about to meet its match. Those juicy records related to the assassinations of JFK, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. are going to see the light of day. Not to be outdone by other historical revelations, Uncle Sam better brace himself for a deluge of thick paper.
Finally, Trump turned his attention to the military, pledging to kick ‘wokeness’ to the curb. He plans to direct the construction of a military defense system reminiscent of Israel’s Iron Dome, showing that he knows how to combine strength with sanity. The idea is simple: a strong military should focus on its core mission rather than being affected by the latest social trends. It looks like the days of military sensitivity training may soon be numbered, with more emphasis on readiness and capability.
Trump’s ambitious agenda reveals a determination to sidestep the bureaucracy and aim for a government that’s accountable, transparent, and focused on real merit. With a promise to revert a plethora of executive orders, it appears that the 46th President is about to learn what happens when his radical changes are challenged head-on.
