The US is stuck in a repeating cycle of presidents undoing each other
A version of this story appeared in CNN’s What Matters newsletter. President Donald Trump’s first day in office set the stage for an effort to undo whatever Joe Biden and his administration did. But much of what Trump did was specifically aimed at turning Biden’s four years into the interregnum between two Trump terms, undoing Biden immigration policies, ending government diversity programs and climate change efforts and taking more political control of the federal bureaucracy. Trump’s actions are the mirror image of four years ago, when Biden came into office and signed executive orders to undo multiple Trump immigration policies, restore protections for government workers, expand diversity and inclusion programs in the government and reverse Trump environmental policies. It’s not clear how much additional oil drilling Trump’s action would create since the US is already producing more oil than any other country.
