Trump’s Inaugural Address: 2017 vs. 2025

New York Times
Overview
On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed executive orders redefining gender as strictly male or female, halting federal funding for gender-transition healthcare, and rescinding Biden-era LGBTQ protections. The order restricts federal documents to binary gender options only. This marks a continuation of Trump's conservative agenda, initiating a wave of legal challenges from LGBTQ advocacy groups. Additionally, Trump rescinded numerous Biden-era policies, including those on immigration and environmental regulations, during the first day of his second presidency. These actions have drawn both praise and condemnation, with predictions of extensive litigation to follow.
