Donald Trump is focusing on the judicial branch of the government. Chuck Schumer, a Democratic leader, had a strong reaction to Trump’s actions that weaken the government. Some people are wondering why Democrats seem to be giving up.
Trump signed an order related to DOGE (a cryptocurrency) while Elon Musk stood by his side. This order gives DOGE more influence over the federal government. Trump also announced he will keep his controversial guests hidden from the public, bringing back a policy from his first term.
Whistleblowers have revealed that Kash Patel, Trump’s choice to lead the FBI, has been lying to Congress. Meanwhile, FEMA (a government agency for emergencies) is ignoring a court order to please Trump, which has caused fear among its employees. Trump has repeatedly criticized FEMA and even suggested getting rid of it.
Trump’s interest in buying Greenland has led to some strange ideas. A Republican lawmaker, Buddy Carter, proposed a bill to rename Greenland “Red, White, and Blueland” if the U.S. acquires it. Carter believes Greenland is important for national security and thinks adding it to the U.S. would make the country “bigger than ever.”
Earlier, a visit to Greenland by Donald Trump Jr. and others caused tension with the local people. Greenland’s leaders have made it clear they want independence and warned the U.S. not to interfere. The visit included staged photos with locals wearing MAGA hats, which some people criticized as misleading and disrespectful.
A recent poll showed that 85% of Greenland’s residents do not want to become part of the U.S., while only 6% support the idea. The rest are undecided.
