A more Orwellian set of orders I have never seen.

He continues to accuse others of what he does himself, and to ignore the constitution and misstate the intention of the founders. It's all about him and revenge against anyone who does not kowtow to him.

Loyalty Day and Law Day, U.S.A., 2025 - May 1, 2025. "For centuries, the world has revered America for its devotion to the timeless principle of equal justice under the law. Tragically, in recent years, our constitutional heritage faced an existential threat from a political class that abandoned justice in favor of political retribution... This erosion of the American justice system ended the moment I took the oath of office."

National Day of Prayer, 2025 - May 1, 2025. "Nine months ago on July 13, 2024, my faith took on new meaning. An assassin’s bullet came within a quarter of an inch of ending my life."

National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend, 2025 - May 3 through May 4, 2025. "One firefighter will forever hold a profound place in my life — Corey Comperatore, who lost his life shielding his family from the barrage of assassin’s bullets that pierced the air during my rally last July in Butler, Pennsylvania."

Ending Taxpayer Subsidization Of Biased Media - defund NPR and CBS - including indirectly via state-funded licensees. "Which viewpoints NPR and PBS promote does not matter." - yeah, right.

Addressing Certain Tariffs on Imported Articles - tariffs should not stack.

418th Anniversary Of The First Landing And The Raising Of The Cape Henry Cross - April 29, Jamestown.

Strengthening and Unleashing America’s Law Enforcement to Pursue Criminals and Protect Innocent Citizens - "The Attorney General shall take all appropriate action to create a mechanism to provide legal resources and indemnification to law enforcement officers who unjustly incur expenses and liabilities for actions taken during the performance of their official duties to enforce the law. This mechanism shall include the use of private-sector pro bono assistance for such law enforcement officers." “Unleashes” the Cops and Flirts With Martial Law, involves "retaliation, punishment and brutality", increases "the provision of excess military and national security assets in local jurisdictions", allows the adoption of AI.

Protecting American Communities from Criminal Aliens - "Federal supremacy with respect to immigration, national security, and foreign policy is axiomatic." "the Attorney General, in coordination with the Secretary of Homeland Security, shall publish a list of States and local jurisdictions that obstruct the enforcement of Federal immigration laws (... shall identify appropriate Federal funds to sanctuary jurisdictions, including grants and contracts, for suspension or termination" ... "This is a lawless insurrection".

Enforcing Commonsense Rules of the Road for America’s Truck Drivers - "Proficiency in English ... should be a non-negotiable safety requirement for professional drivers." ... "review non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) issued by relevant State agencies to identify any unusual patterns or numbers or other irregularities with respect to non-domiciled CDL issuance"

World Intellectual Property Day, 2025 (posted on April 26, 2025). It was established in 2000. This year's theme was "Intellectual property and music: Feel the beat of IP", though the order does not mention that.
