President Donald Trump is set to sign a series of executive orders on Monday, marking a sharp departure from what he describes as “woke” culture. The announcement is expected during his inauguration speech, where he plans to signal a definitive break from policies promoting diversity and gender inclusion.
On the campaign trail, Trump criticized diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in government and corporate sectors, claiming they discriminate against white men. He also condemned the recognition of gender diversity, vowing to ban gender-affirming care for minors and to reinstate restrictions on transgender individuals in the military.
These moves underscore Trump’s commitment to dismantling progressive policies and aligning with his base’s conservative values as he begins his term.
