The White House website was inundated Monday afternoon as supporters of President Donald Trump rushed to his official page to watch a trailer-style video previewing the historic actions he is already taking as the 47th president.
Four years after being ousted from office, Trump made a seismic return, unveiling a refreshed social media presence fueled by the swagger and confidence he has rebuilt during his time away. His official social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok have been transferred back to him and now feature his new tagline: “America is BACK.” This time around, Trump is fully aware of what he’s fighting for.
“Every single day I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body. I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve. This will truly be the golden age of America,” he wrote on X. A 35-second video played snapshots of Trump entering the White House earlier in the day, saluting a fleet of helicopters flying overhead and disembarking Marine One.
A splash page on WhiteHouse.gov plays the video for visitors. By clicking on it, visitors can read a summary of President Trump’s series of day-one executive orders as well as access biographies of Vice President J.D. Vance, First Lady Melania Trump, and members of his Cabinet.
Reflecting on America’s greatness has been a central theme of Trump’s political career. On Monday, he signed nearly two dozen executive orders that he believes will achieve this goal. “Today, I will sign a series of historic executive orders,” Trump teased in his inaugural address. “With these actions, we will begin complete restoration of trust and common sense.”
Among the nearly two dozen executive orders, 10 focus on securing the southern border through measures such as deploying armed forces and resuming construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall. Trump also rescinded DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies in the military and eliminated the non-binary gender option on government documents.
Trump promised economic benefits from a surge in domestic energy production and directed every cabinet member to prioritize reducing the cost of every day goods for Americans. Additionally, he announced the creation of a new agency, the External Revenue Service, tasked with holding foreign nations accountable for their fair share, shifting the focus away from targeting U.S. taxpayers through the IRS.
“We will begin to overhaul our trade system to protect American workers and families. Instead of taxing citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax other foreign countries to enrich our citizens,” Trump said. “For this purpose, we are establishing the External Revenue Service to collect all tariffs, duties, and revenues. It will be massive amounts of money pouring into our treasury coming from foreign sources. The American Dream will soon be back and thriving like never before to restore competence and confidence to our federal government.”
