You have probably noticed how our recent government has turned out ever since the person named Donald J Trump has been reelected into office as President, which was not a great idea. Ever since the reelection of Trump, there have been many catastrophes that have occurred all around the US, not just California.
Here is a list of what he has done ever since he was reelected in office:
- Expanded the use of immigration enforcement to target foreign nationals, mainly students, researchers, and legal resident
- Revoke the visas of Chinese Students
- Pardoned the January 6, 2021 rioters and pardoned the president of Honduras who was convicted of trafficking tons of US bounded cocaine
- “Released” the Epstein files but redacted practically everything
- Added more tariffs and slowed economic growth
- Released the Big Beautiful Bill that increases the funds for defense and border enforcement but decreases the funding on taxpayers and Medicaid cuts
And the list goes on and on.

He has taken a more rapid and aggressive pace of policy implementation this second term.
