Tariffs, layoffs and policy upheavals: Trump’s turbulent first month in office

Firstpost  

In his first month of a second term, President Donald Trump has swiftly reshaped US policies, empowering Elon Musk to overhaul federal agencies while imposing tariffs and dismantling social programs. Here’s a look at the first four weeks: Mass firings across federal agencies The Trump administration fired thousands of workers who were still in probationary periods common among new hires. Trump suggested he could target the judiciary, saying, “Maybe we have to look at the judges.” The administration has said in the meantime that it will appeal, while White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt railed against the orders slowing the president’s agenda, calling each “an abuse of the rule of law.” A rare legal win for Trump The administration has notched a few wins, too, most significantly when a judge allowed it to move forward with a deferred resignation program spearheaded by Musk. House Speaker backs Musk’s team House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said he finds the work of Musk’s team “very exciting.” Johnson said Trump is “taking legitimate executive action.” But even among congressional Republicans, there were small signs of protest emerging — letters being written and phone calls being made — to protect their home-state interests and constituents as funding for programs, services, and government contracts is being dismantled.
