His policies focus on reducing federal control, restructuring government agencies, and strengthening executive power. Supporters see this as necessary reform. Critics warn of risks to democracy. Here's how his administration is reshaping the system.

DISMANTLING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION On March 20, 2025, Trump signed an executive order to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education. He wants state and local governments to take full control of education. His goal is to reduce federal involvement and increase parental choice.

His supporters argue that this will give communities more power over school policies. However, critics say it may harm students who rely on federal protections, especially those in marginalized groups. Schools currently receive about 10% of their budgets from federal funding. Without this support, some districts could struggle to maintain programs.

Shifting foreign aid to focus on U.S. interests Donald Trump is overhauling how the U.S. distributes foreign aid. His administration plans to cut funding for programs that do not align with American geopolitical goals. According to an internal memo, the government will prioritize aid that strengthens national security and economic interests.
