Trump’s Executive Order to Combat Government Weaponization
President Donald Trump is set to issue an executive order aimed at ending what he perceives as the weaponization of the federal government against political opponents. The order will direct the attorney general to investigate actions from President Joe Biden’s administration that allegedly targeted Trump’s supporters and other conservatives.
The incoming Attorney General, potentially Pam Bondi, will be tasked with compiling a comprehensive report on government weaponization and providing recommendations to address the issue. This move is part of Trump’s broader agenda to reform existing federal policies on various issues, including immigration, diversity promotion, and sustainable energy.
The executive order promises a thorough investigation into alleged instances of government overreach and abuse of power. These include investigations against Biden critics, prosecutions related to the events of January 6, and the targeting of parents and pro-life activists.
“We will have a complete investigation into the use of police state tactics by federal authorities to arrest conservatives and Christians,” the order states.
The directive will also examine the suppression of stories about Hunter Biden and allegations of conservative targeting by the IRS and the Education Department. This wide-ranging investigation aims to hold federal agencies accountable for any violations of citizens’ rights.
Trump’s Day One Agenda
The executive order addressing government weaponization is just one of many actions Trump plans to take upon returning to office. Sources indicate that Trump is expected to sign over 200 executive orders on Inauguration Day, addressing various policy priorities.
“This is about executing on a key campaign promise,” an incoming White House policy adviser said, adding that it’s an issue “Americans feel very strongly about.”
These executive orders are likely to cover a wide range of issues, potentially reversing many of the policies implemented by the Biden administration. Trump’s supporters view these actions as necessary steps to restore what they perceive as proper governance and protection of individual rights.
