President Trump’s First Week: A Mixed Bag of Actions and Speeches
President Donald Trump’s first week in office has been marked by a mix of actions and speeches, with some significant wins and a few notable missteps. While Trump’s inaugural address and subsequent speeches, including his blunt remarks to the Davos crowd, have been notable, two specific actions stand out as significant: his announcement of the goal for all NATO nations to have defense budgets at 5% of their GDP and his Executive Order on ending Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in government and institutions receiving federal dollars.
The defense budget hike, which would amount to a national security spend of $1.45 trillion compared to the current level of $886 billion, is aimed at protecting the country from the gathering storm of enemies, including China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. These countries are led by governments that exploit their people, with Iran being the most malevolent actor and currently attempting to kill Americans, including the president himself, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and others.
However, the withdrawal of security details from target individuals, including Pompeo and others, is a major concern. This decision has been met with shock and criticism, with some seeing it as a provocation and an invitation to strike against these individuals. Trump and his inner circle must take responsibility for this blunder and restore security to those in need of it, as failing to do so could have dire consequences, including war with Iran.
The article concludes by highlighting the importance of ensuring the safety and security of targeted individuals, even in the face of adversity, and emphasizing the need for Trump to take concrete actions to rectify the situation.
