The first few weeks of President Donald Trump’s second term have sparked a range of public controversies on everything from the Jan. 6 pardons to the abrupt shutting down of USAID and a constitutional crisis between the branches of government. But while Democrats raise alarms over these and other concerns, Republicans are celebrating the achievement of some of their own longstanding goals, including eliminating DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) programs and scaling up deportation efforts nationwide.

Watch the above video as Straight Arrow News contributor Star Parker reviews what she says are some of President Trump’s chief achievements during his first few weeks back in the Oval Office, from immigration to abortion and everything in between, and declares that Donald Trump’s return to office is a story of “promises made, promises kept.”

The following is an excerpt from the above video:

President Trump has taken bold action and unveiled a sweeping new agenda in his very first days as America’s 47th president.

As promised, Trump signed executive orders to secure America’s borders, unlock energy resources, roll back excessive regulations and reform government agencies. Our new president is eliminating misguided DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) programs and implementing a system that’s based on our Constitution, it’s based on equal opportunity and individual merit. He’s affirming the biological reality of two sexes and clearly defining male and female [with] an executive order entitled “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth in the Federal Government.” Yeah, that’s the name of it.

Trump directs that government identifications like passports and personal records, they’ll reflect biological realities and not some self-assessed gender identity.
