President Trump kicks off his second term with a whirlwind of executive orders that keep everyone on their toes – from a TikTok lifeline to a WHO exit!

Donald Trump is back! On the very first day of his second term as President of the United States, he’s already swung open the doors of presidential powers with a flurry of executive orders that have left the political landscape buzzing. After an election cycle that felt more like a rollercoaster ride, the stakes are high, and it’s clear he plans to make his mark right from the get-go. One of the standout moves? A directive delaying the controversial ban on TikTok. With about 170 million users in America, it seems Trump knows where the people’s interests lie – and he’s fully ready to keep the dance videos coming (at least for now)!

Inconsistencies and controversies have been the fuel for Trump’s political engine, and he’s revving up for a wild ride this term. Among the barrage of executive orders was the alarming announcement that the U.S. would begin the formal withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO). Opinions are divided on this action, as many argue it undermines global health efforts during a pandemic – but hey, this is Trump we’re talking about! His inauguration address promised a new “golden age” for America, but one can’t help but wonder, does that mean Challenge Accepted for international diplomacy?

For political enthusiasts, the Trump circus is just getting started, and there’s no telling what’s in store. Even the way he explains governance has a flair of entertainment – executive orders, proclamations, and memorandums, oh my! While the rest of the world watches Goosebumps-style, Trump’s rapid fire tactics have left opponents scrambling to respond. It’s safe to say that Washington is feeling a bit shellshocked, as the President stated emphatically during his inauguration, "Nothing will stand in our way!”

With the lens on TikTok and WHO, let’s sharpen our focus on some fun facts. Did you know that globally, TikTok boasts over 1 billion users and is often credited with sparking viral trends faster than a koala in a coffee shop? On the other hand, the WHO was founded in 1948 and focuses on controlling diseases and promoting public health worldwide—so one could certainly say Trump’s choice to withdraw adds a shocking twist to the health crisis we face today. The world of politics may be a wild one, but if one thing is for sure, it’s never a dull moment with Trump at the helm!
