Trump's Executive Actions and Retaliations

President Donald Trump has initiated a series of executive actions, including revoking former President Joe Biden's security clearance and ending his intelligence briefings, citing Joe Biden's similar actions in 2021 and the Hur Report's assessment of Joe Biden's memory. Donald Trump also dismissed Colleen Joy Shogan as the archivist of the United States due to the United States — National Archives and Records Administration's previous involvement in his classified documents case. Furthermore, Donald Trump fired members of the board of trustees for the Kennedy Center, appointing himself chairman and announcing plans to dictate programming. Other actions include freezing aid to South Africa over alleged discrimination and its international stance, and signing an executive order to review Joe Biden's gun control actions. These moves are part of a 'vengeance tour' Donald Trump promised during his campaign, leading to various protests and legal challenges, such as Democratic attorneys-general suing to prevent Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency from accessing United States — United States Department of the Treasury records, and a federal judge blocking the placement of United States — United States Agency for International Development employees on leave. The United States — Alaska Legislature also passed a resolution regarding the renaming of Denali.
