Trump’s “Tariff War” Is Just the Beginning – Wait, Have You Seen His Other Orders?

Trump’s “Tariff War” Is Just the Beginning – Wait, Have You Seen His Other Orders?

Week 11 of the Great Tariff War has gone down, but here’s the real kicker—it's not just about tariffs. Trump’s been busy behind the scenes signing executive orders that, in case anyone missed it, are a masterclass in dismantling democracy and progress. Let's take a look at what went down when everyone else was focused on that trade war.

Executive Orders You Missed While Watching the Tariff Drama:

Voter Registration Review:

Trump’s latest brilliant idea? Letting Dodge (yes, like the car company?) audit and review your voter registration. Because who doesn’t want a car company vetting who gets to vote?

DC Control Freakery:

Trump is pulling the ultimate power move by appointing a Homeland Security advisor to oversee Washington D.C. And, oh yeah, he’s planning to speed up concealed carry license processing. In the capital city. Great idea, right?

Confederate Monuments Are Back, Baby!

Not a typo—Trump is bringing back Confederate monuments to D.C. Let’s just say history books are about to get rewritten in the most literal way possible.

Restoring Truth to History (Or, Just Rewriting It):

Trump’s executive order is targeting the National Museum of African American History. Why? Because he’s going to regulate the exhibitions and materials. And to top it off, he believes race is a “biological reality” (as opposed to what?).

Dismantling Our National Parks (For Lumber, of Course):

Remember those beautiful national parks? Trump’s latest move is a big gift to lumber companies by ransacking 112 million acres of land (mostly in the West). Why? So lumber prices can go up, and we all pay more for housing. It’s like watching America get auctioned off.

Medicare Gets a Boost (But Not For You):

So, while health insurance stocks skyrocketed, the Senate decided to jack up Medicare payments by 5.08%. Not for the coverage you get, but for the private insurers who don’t care about you. So much for “helping” the American people. Classic.

So, What’s the Strategy?

Here’s the play: Distract and Destroy. The tariffs? Distractions. The executive orders? Destroying the very fabric of American democracy and progress. While everyone’s focusing on the flashy trade war, Trump’s dismantling everything else. It’s the perfect storm of “keep your eyes on the prize” while secretly moving the chess pieces.
