Trump signed a bevy of executive actions and orders on Monday after he was sworn in as the nation's 47th president, including ones related to diversity, equity and inclusion, better known as DEI programs.
"The Biden Administration forced illegal and immoral discrimination programs, going by the name ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ (DEI), into virtually all aspects of the Federal Government, in areas ranging from airline safety to the military," Trump's executive order on ending "radical and wasteful" DEI programs states. "This was a concerted effort stemming from President Biden’s first day in office."
"That ends today," the executive order reads. "Americans deserve a government committed to serving every person with equal dignity and respect, and to expending precious taxpayer resources only on making America great."

"I intend to dispel the notion that only the ‘right sort of’ charging party is welcome through our doors and to reinforce instead the fundamental belief enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and our civil rights laws—that all people are ‘created equal.’ I am committed to ensuring equal justice under the law and to focusing on equal opportunity, merit, and colorblind equality."
