The Spin
Left narrative
Convinced he has a mandate for radical reform, Trump's flurry of executive orders will create immeasurable amounts of damage to the environment, as well as to the protections put in place for vulnerable minorities. Meanwhile, he will issue pardons for criminals who attacked the US Capitol.
Right narrative
By tackling illegal immigration, returning merit-based hiring, and making use of the country's abundant energy reserves, Trump's executive actions will restore the sovereignty of the US and do away with the damaging bureaucracy put in place by the failed Biden administration.
