President Donald Trump continued flooding the airwaves with proposals during his sixth week in office, although so far many of his second-term ideas remain just that. He proposed everything from a “golden visa” for the wealthy to a cryptocurrency reserve, but for now they remain just proposals.
Here’s a mostly complete look at what the Trump administration has done over the last seven days:
• Passed a House budget on party lines that could cut Medicaid and food stamps to help pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.
• Imposed tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada that went into effect on Tuesday.
• Scrambled to rehire staffers with the Food & Drug Administration who monitor the safety of medical devices.
• Proposed a “gold card” visa that would allow people to become lawful permanent residents for $5 million.
• Criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to his face in a shockingly contentious White House meeting.
• Slashed staff of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, fulfilling a Project 2025 goal.
• Announced the White House would take control of a press pool run by journalists for more than a century.
• Announced that it would strip security clearances from a white-shoe law firm for working with former special counsel Jack Smith.
• Announced that the Treasury Department will no longer enforce an anti-money laundering law.
• Began planning a nationwide operation to potentially deport children who came into the U.S. without a parent or guardian.
• Proposed that the U.S. government purchase and hold cryptocurrencies in a “Crypto Strategic Reserve.”
• Said, through the Health and Human Services secretary, that measles deaths are “not unusual,” though the U.S. hasn’t had one since 2015.
• Wrote an unusual op-ed for Fox News in which the HHS secretary said the measles vaccine should be “readily accessible for all those who want them.”
• Reportedly moved to cancel a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul air traffic control systems and give it to Musk’s Starlink.
• Made plans for large-scale layoffs at federal agencies in March and April in a memo calling the federal workforce “bloated” and “corrupt.”
• Floated a plan to put tariffs on copper as part of a move to hurt China’s growth in the sector.
