People are starting to see how Trump’s revocation of the Equal Employment Opportunity influenced workers

Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony was marked by tradition, the presence of established political figures. But also with a number of executive actions reflecting his administration’s priorities. The new president signed 25 executive orders on the day he took office, and a particular one stood out – the revocation of Executive Order 11246, known as Equal Employment Opportunity.

This order, which was signed by former President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965, has served as a key policy in preventing discrimination in federal employment while ensuring equal opportunities for all.

It bans discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin thus obliges federal contractors to adopt diversity-focused affirmative action plans.

Revoking the Equal Employment Opportunity order doesn’t mean discrimination is now legal. However, it certainly means it is a step toward weakening defenses against racism and other biases.

Trump spoke openly about his plan to revoke the Equal Employment Order before heading to the White House. He said it was necessary to backpedal DEI programs because they are “dangerous, demeaning, and immoral.”

Trump, and other republicans, believe the DEI policies (diversity, equity, and inclusion) disadvantage people in majority groups in an unfair way.

While revoking the order, Trump can’t revoke the Equal Employment Opportunity Act since it represents a law that was passed by Congress and signed by former president Richard Nixon in 1972.

Nonetheless, Trump’s action triggered criticism. 

“Good for straight white males. Bad for everyone else,” someone posted on the social media. 

Basil Smikle Jr, a political strategist and policy advisor, commented: “There’s this clear effort to hinder, if not erode, the political and economic power of people of color and women.

“What it does is opens up the door for more cronyism.”

What did Barron Trump say to Joe Biden at his dad’s inauguration? It sparked an online debate

By

Is it safe to say that it was Donald Trump‘s youngest son, Barron Trump, that stole the show at his father’s inauguration? According to many, the answer is a resounding yes.

Barron, who is now 18, began his freshman year at New York University’s Stern School of Business in September 2024. He’s reportedly pursuing a degree in business and finance.

At the time being, the young Trump is residing at Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan, commuting to campus for his classes.

According to his mother, who spoke to Fox in September, 2024, “It was [Barron’s] decision to come here, that he wants to be in New York and study in New York and live in his home.”

However, according to an insider, she wants to keep a watchful eye on her son.

“Living in a dorm in a college town isn’t in the stars for him at this point,” an insider told People in December 2024 when speaking about Barron’s living situation. “Melania feels it’s better to be around him as much as possible.” 

Body language expert Judy James spoke of Barron Trump and his appearance at his father’s inauguration, saying that now the boy is all grown up, he’s “working as a sweeper.”

“This means he tends to arrive and leave behind his parents, but instead of just walking off behind them as he did when he was younger, he spends time shaking hands and offering gracious-looking words,” James continued, concluding by saying that “defines” Barron’s presence and status without having to compete with his father.”

“He lets everyone know that he is becoming a force to be reckoned with in his own right and because of his height and the increase in his confidence signals, it gives him a rather princely air, presence-wise. Biden had been on the receiving end of a flame-thrower speech from Trump, where he had sat in a variety of poses including pained deflation and bravado smiling as his entire four years in office were scorched to ashes.”

One thing that caught everyone’s attention was Barron’s quick interaction with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

According to lip reader Jeremy Freeman, Barron greeted Biden saying, “G’day to you sir” before turning to Harris with the words, “Ma’am, good day.”

Biden replied, “It’s good to see you, man.”

Body language expert Judy James said Barron “very confidently” and “charmingly” bent to shake hands with Biden.

“And although Biden’s face seems to fall as though Barron has passed on some kind of sinister threat or message, the truth was less dramatic as Barron seemed to be leaning to greet Kamala and Biden’s face was registering the fact that he’d finished his greeting ritual with Trump’s son,” James said.

As expected, people praised the young gentleman for his action, dubbing him as well-mannered and saying his mother did an awesome job raising him.

The ‘hidden meaning’ behind Barron Trump’s unique hand gesture

By

Donald Trump was sworn in as president for the second time, and during his inauguration speech, among the rest, he praised his son, Barron Trump.

During Donald Trump’s inauguration, social media quickly gained momentum over the interaction in which the young Trump shook hands with former President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

The public praised for greeting his father’s opponents, with many agreeing that the president’s son is a well-mannered young man.

“I was very impressed by that gesture and from someone so young. To go across the aisle and shake their hands was a very classy and mature thing to do. Good for Barron,” one person wrote.

“Such a good young man… That gesture just tells you everything. Well done, Melania,” another added. 

Many were eager to learn what he said to Biden and Harris, and according to lip reader Jeremy Freeman, Barron greeted Biden saying, “G’day to you sir” before turning to Harris with the words, “Ma’am, good day.”

Biden replied, “It’s good to see you, man.”

Body language expert Judy James said Barron “very confidently” and “charmingly” bent to shake hands with Biden.

“And although Biden’s face seems to fall as though Barron has passed on some kind of sinister threat or message, the truth was less dramatic as Barron seemed to be leaning to greet Kamala and Biden’s face was registering the fact that he’d finished his greeting ritual with Trump’s son,” James said.

Further, James explained that now that he’s older, when accompanying his parents to important events, Barron arrives before them and leaves behind them, thus spending time shaking hands and offering gracious-looking words.

“He lets everyone know that he is becoming a force to be reckoned with in his own right and because of his height and the increase in his confidence signals, it gives him a rather princely air, presence-wise. Biden had been on the receiving end of a flame-thrower speech from Trump, where he had sat in a variety of poses including pained deflation and bravado smiling as his entire four years in office were scorched to ashes.”

One of those poses that caught the attention of many was Barron Trump’s unique hand gesture.

Namely, at one point, Trump’s youngest son did the Mr Burns thing with his hands.

Body language expert Darren Stanton considers Barron Trump’s unique hand gesture, known as the politician’s steeple, in which the fingertips on each hand touched to form a triangle shape, an authoritative position.

“It just shows they believe themselves to be an authority on the topic they’re discussing, and there are two main elements to this gesture. It’s a display of authority if their hands are together. They’re saying, ‘In my opinion, this is what needs to happen’. And they expect to be listened to,” Stanton said.

“Tapping whilst using the politician’s steeple means they’re considering what’s being said,” he added. “They’re essentially thinking whether there is any merit to it. People who work in Sales use this when they’re talking to people, as they are processing a lot of information as they speak.”

Currently, Barron Trump is attending New York University (NYU).

This means he won’t be residing in the White House. His mom, however, would be splitting her time between Washington DC., New York, and Florida.

‘Best dressed First Lady’: Melania Trump turns heads in an ‘elegant’ dress at the inaugural ball

By

As she accompanied her husband to the Liberty Inaugural Ball held in Washington, D.C., best dressed First Lady Melania Trump had all eyes on her.

She wore a stunning white floor-length dress with asymmetrical black accents running diagonally across the body designed by her trusted stylist Herve Pierre.

Melania and Pierre share a long history of trusted collaboration.

He designed the iconic white, off-the-shoulder gown with a thigh-high slit and red ribbon at the waist that she wore to her husband’s 2017 inauguration. Pierre dressed the First Lady for a state dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron in 2018, as well as for the United Nations General Assembly.

Melania wore Pierre’s designs for foreign trips, holidays, and other public appearances.

This time, he shared the sketch of the dress for the inaugural ball with the caption: “It was such an honor to create the dress for the First Lady Melania Trump tonight.. I can’t thank her enough… it was a wonderful project, a great collaboration… as always !!!! A big thank to @atelieryqs for helping me on that project … your work is 👌🏻impeccable 🙏🏻 [sic].”

Pierre also released a statement, thanking the Slovenian-born model for their collaboration for this significant event. “It is a big honor to have collaborated with the First Lady on the design for her inaugural dress.” He added, “It was clear that Mrs. Trump was gravitating towards a combination of black and white – true to her own style and vision.”

The public seemed to be enchanted with her looks that made heads turn around.

Many agreed that she’s best dressed First Lady.

“Breathtaking!! 👏👏,” one person wrote, while another exclaimed, “Wow. Beautiful.”

“Beautiful and elegant, classic First Lady! Power couple 🇺🇸 🙌,” a third wrote.

Another admirer stated, “Oh wow😍 Best dressed First Lady 🇺🇸.” Someone else added: “Stunning! Class & Elegance are back in the White House 🥳🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻.”

For her husband’s inauguration, Melania opted for a custom double-breasted navy coat by Adam Lippes that she paired with a matching boater hat by Eric Javits, designed especially for the occasion.

While some praised her looks, others were asking themselves why she was hiding her eyes with the hat.

“The [sic] hat of Melania is very weird… like she wants to hide her eyes from something… or her forehead,” someone commented. “Melania’s hat looks ridiculous. That’s all I can think of,” another remarked.

No matter what one thinks of our First Lady, one thing is certain, her fashion statements are bold and she’s always dressed for the occasion.

Barron Trump sparks buzz over ‘fake tan’ rumors

By
Monica Pop

During his father’s first presidential term, Barron Trump lived with his parents at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but now that’s he’s attending college in New York, things will be different.

While the young Trump will be spending his time in the Big Apple, he is welcomed to the White House any time, his mother told Fox.

“Obviously he’ll have a bedroom there, but he’s an adult, he’s in college now. I think he will come and visit, yes,” Melania said, adding she would love it if her son brings his friends.

“Yeah, whatever he would like to do, yes. I feel that as children, we have them till they are 18, 19 years old. We teach them, we guide them, and then we give them the wings to fly. And I always respect Barron’s yes and no, and what he likes to do, where he would like to be.”

It has been widely reported that Melania would be splitting her time between Washington DC, New York, and the family’s Florida estate.

“Whether or not others think he is capable of being on his own, Melania feels it’s better to be around him as much as possible,” source close to the couple shared with People. “I see that continuing.”

Other sources told the magazine that Trump’s second inauguration as president has changed things for Barron.

“Melania worries about the hate in the country and how it falls on her son, who is innocent of any of this,” the source said. “She is and has been a good sounding board for him. They talk about life as it is and how they are in the spotlight,” the source adds. “She tries to normalize his life. If that is even possible.”

Trump praised his son in his inauguration speech, asking the crowd if they had heard of his “tall son,” to which they replied with loud cheers.

“He knew the youth vote. You know we won the youth vote by 36 points,” Trump said. “He was saying, ’dad, I got to go out and to this and that one and we did a lot of them, Trump said and added: “He respects them all, he understood it very well. He said ’dad, you got to go out and do Joe Rogan, all these guys that we did. They were all great, right? Barron, they were all great.”

Barron Trump caught the public’s attention with his height. According to his dad, he stands at 6 feet 8. This time, however, he went viral for another reason, his tan that many say is fake.

Express US wrote that Barron was sporting a new ‘healthy glow,’ with the Mirror even claiming Barron Trump had a ‘bronze’ tan — just like his father.

At Monday’s church service in St. John’s Episcopal Church, Barron’s bronzed cheekbones and shiny forehead reminded many of Donald Trump.

For years, Trump’s orange-toned face has been a subject of discussion.

It is believed that President Trump puts on some sort of a bronzer that makes his face appear orangish.

Speaking to Metro, makeup artist Safia Cox explained why she believes the president started wearing bronzer.

“I think he uses some sort of fake tan or tinted moisturizer with a bronzer. I 100% do not think it’s sun beds as it would be a completely different tone,” Cox said.

Further, she added: “I think it’s some sort of fake tan or some sort of tinted moisturizer with bronzer, and he’s then used powder with it. It’s definitely some sort of cream product that he uses and has probably mattified it after because it’s so orange. You can see the rim around his face. If you look closely at his hairline, it’s very pale, and that’s not from sunbeds; he’s slapping some sort of cream product on.”

She added that “he has orange blindness or fake tan blindness,” but that he doesn’t even realize that. Cox dubbed his facial color bizzare.

Within hours of taking office, Donald Trump made a major mistake

By
Monica Pop
-

On January 20, 2025, Donald Trump sworn in as the president of the country for the second time. However, within mere hours of taking office, he made a major mistake.

Right after his inauguration, he signed a number of executive orders, which represent legally-binding written orders to the federal government that does not require approval from the congress.

Among the rest, Trump withdrew the country from the landmark Paris Agreement and the World Health Organization, telling the crowd gathered at a sports arena in Washington DC that he would revoke “80 destructive and radical executive actions of the previous administration.”

Further, President Trump declared a national energy emergency, promising to fill up strategic oil reserves and distribute U.S. energy globally.

“We will be a rich nation again, and it is that liquid gold under our feet that will help to do it,” he said.

He declared illegal immigration at the US-Mexico border a national emergency, planning to send troops to help immigration agents and restrict refugees and asylum.

He signed executive orders regarding foreign affairs as well.

On his first day in office, President Trump made his first blunder.

Asked about NATO countries that don’t meet the minimum economic output on defense of 2%, including Spain, he said, “Spain is very low. They’re a BRICS nation, Spain. Do you know what a BRICS nation is? You’ll figure it out.”

However, Spain is not a BRICKS nation. In fact, BRICKS refers to an intergovernmental organisation for developing countries. These countries include Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates.

Further, Trump suggested he was going to put “at least a 100 per cent tariff on the business they do with the United States.”

These plans would bring an end to decades of free trade between the nations.

Minister Pilar Alegría, a spokesperson for the Spanish government commented Trump’s mistake. “I don’t know if the affirmation made by President Trump was the result of a mix-up or not, but I can confirm that Spain is not in BRICS,” she said.

A lip reader reveals Donald and Melania Trump’s private conversation during their inaugural ball dance

By

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump took the dance floor to celebrate and celebrated his inauguration with a inaugural ball dance.

The couple attended three balls, the Commander-in-Chief Ball, where they danced to a cover of Elvis’ An American Trilogy, the Liberty Ball, and the Starlight Ball at Union Station.

“We needed three because we have such support,” Trump addressed the crowd at the Liberty Ball which took place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.

As they danced, the president and his better half whispered something to one another. As expected, people were eager to learn what they said. Now, lip reader Jeremy Freeman has the answer.

According to Tyla, Trump told his wife that nobody let him down that day. Allegedly, she replied: “Today is one we will never forget,” to what Trump added: “You’re right there, I’ll learn, I’ll fight.”

Melania then said, “I got you” prompting her husband to answer, “We’ll see. Will you control it? Less tricky, less pushing away?”

Freeman claimed the First Lady said, “It’s a no,” as the president assured, “I hear you.”

Another expert, body language expert Mark Bowden, dubbed the couple’s inaugural ball dance as awkward, stating Melania felt a bit uncomfortable. “This shaky start leaves Trump leaning his full weight forward, while Melania manages to meet him cheek to cheek. With her wide-brimmed hat no longer serving as a barrier, the couple is closer than earlier in the day-though precariously close to the ear that once took a bullet,” he observed.

For the liberty ball, Melania wore a dress from her trusted stylist Herve Pierre, who took to the social media to thank the First Lady for the colaboration.

The dress was a floor length white gown with asymmetrical black accents running diagonally across the body.

Melania Trump sparks body double conspiracy at inauguration

By
Monica Pop
-

As the Americans begin to let the dust settle after the inauguration, the president’s wife, Melania Trump, continues to be in the center of attention, this time with a body double conspiracy that caused a stir among the public.

The inauguration was attended by high-level government officials, politicians, and various celebrities, but it was Melania who stole the show with her outfit.

The First Lady opted for a custom double-breasted navy coat by Adam Lippes that she paired with a matching boater hat by Eric Javits, designed especially for the occasion.

Her bold outfit made many question if she was trying to send a message -that she’s not someone you can mess with- on the historic day when her husband sworn in as a president for the second time.

“Makes her look hard. But maybe that’s what she wants to look like today, all business. Don’t mess with me kind of thing,” one person commented.

While some praised Melania Trump for her fashion statement and others mocked her choice of clothes, there were those who claimed that she wore what she did because she has a body double.

Those who believe in this conspiracy theory claim that the Slovenian-born former model left Trump a few years ago, and he found a body double to accompany him at significant events.

“That Bolero hat Melania is wearing won’t do much to dispel the rumors that she has a body double#TrumpInauguration2025,” one person wrote on X.

“Interesting outfit today. That hat is so low on her brow, you cannot see her face clearly. I honestly feel like that’s a body double and not the real Melania. Wouldn’t surprise me if Trump knew of threats to assassinate him and decided not to put her in harms way,” another wrote.

Some were suspicious because the weather in Washington didn’t request for hats to be worn on Trump’s inauguration day. “the melania body double only person wearing a hat in DC today,” they wrote.

As always, there were those who discussed the stupidity behind this conspiracy theory.

“Bologna! There’s no Melania body double! Why would she miss all the fun??” someone commented.

“Are you seeing the BS that is going around saying that hat and outfit was hiding a body double for Melania? Insanity[.] The ears tell the story,” someone else added.
