Going down fast

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to begin the process of withdrawing the US from the World Health Organization (WHO).

"Oooh, that's a big one," the newly inaugurated US president said as he approved the document after arriving back at the White House. It was one of dozens of executive actions he put his signature to on day one in office.

This marks the second time Trump has ordered the US be pulled out of the WHO.

Trump was critical of how the international body handled Covid-19 and began the process of pulling out from the Geneva-based institution during the pandemic. President Joe Biden later reversed that decision.

President Donald Trump will withdraw the United States from the Paris climate deal, the White House said on Monday.

The announcement is part of Trump's broader agenda to boost U.S. oil and gas production, and to 'drill baby drill!'

Trump also withdrew the U.S. from the Paris deal during his first term in office, although the process took years and was immediately reversed by Joe Biden in 2021.

America's second withdrawal is likely to take less time, perhaps as little as a year, because Trump will not be bound by the deal's initial three-year commitment.

[In his inaugural address, Trump] announced the Gulf of Mexico was to be renamed the "Gulf of America" under hisadministration.

[...]

He is expected to sign an executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico in one of his first moves as he retakes the White House.

Bananas.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE 07:32 am:
President Trump said early Tuesday his staffers are "actively in the process of identifying and removing" over a 1,000 presidential appointees from the Biden administration, including retired U.S. Army Gen. Mark Milley and celebrity chef José Andrés.

[...]

Trump said on Truth Social his Presidential Personnel Office is targeting appointees from the previous administration "who are not aligned with our vision to Make America Great Again."

  Axios
Chef Andrés???

What Trump means is anyone who is not aligned with his Nazification of the country.
Trump identified four people in the post, whom he said he's issuing a notice of dismissal with "many more" to come soon.

"Jose Andres from the President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition, Mark Milley from the National Infrastructure Advisory Council, Brian Hook from the Wilson Center for Scholars, and [former Atlanta Mayor] Keisha Lance Bottoms from the President's Export Council — YOU'RE FIRED!" Trump wrote.
Jesus, what a juvenile POS.




And so much more.  From the Whitehouse:





In other words, whatever Joe Biden signed, Trump revokes.

Also, if you ask me, and I understand you didn't, Executive Orders are out of hand, but maybe that's because Congress abdicated its responsibilities a long time ago.

The King decrees:





MAGA  is now in the "find out" phase.
