Trump’s second term in office has been marked by a number of ‘controversies’ surrounding the executive orders he didn’t waste time to sign, as well as a comment he made to Joe Biden.
Among the rest, he delayed the TikTok ban, reaffirmed withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization, eliminated Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Programs, initiated the development of an “American Iron Dome” missile defense system, and more.
As reported by BBC, Trump also issued pardons or commutations for over 1,500 people convicted or charged with the U.S. Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.
He also signed an order with which only two genders, male and female, are recognized.
“As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female,” the newly elected president said.
Trump’s predecessor, Joe Biden, and his wife, Jill Biden, welcomed the Trumps to the White House in the traditional ceremony marking the transition of leadership in the country.
As expected, Biden, who pulled out of the presidential race in July and endorsed Kamala Harris as his replacement, was present at Trump’s inauguration.
Due to the cold weather, the inauguration took place inside the Capitol building’s Rotunda, and not in front of the building as per tradition.
The Trumps and the Bidens posed for a photo and lip reader Jeremy Freeman tried to interpret the communication between the former and the current presidents of the United States.
Speaking to the Irish Times, Freeman said that Biden greeted Trump saying, “Welcome home.” Trump responded: “How are you? It’s so cold. I need to do my coat up I’m freezing.”
Biden alleged he was also freezing, to what Trump responded jokingly, “Shut up, Biden,” admitting that it was “colder than when we ski.”
Trump’s comment was savage, many agreed.
Trump’s youngest son, Barron trump, also greeted Biden and Harris. Many praised his move and dubbed him well-mannered.
