Donald Trump makes bold promise in first interview since being sworn in as president

Donald Trump is only a few days into his second term, but he’s already making big promises.

The 47th President of the United States has done his first sit-down interview since returning to the White House.

Appearing on The Sean Hannity Show on Fox News, the 78-year-old politician made some big statements about the problems facing the US - and one bold promise.

He told Hannity: "They’re all solvable problems…with time, effort, money - unfortunately - but they’re all solvable."

He also promised that he would 'get the country back', saying: "We can get our country back. But if we didn’t win this race, I really believe our country would have been lost forever."

Trump pointed to a unified Republican majority in both houses of Congress, in particular the House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Trump said: "This is a tough group…but they’re very unified."

Since coming to office, Trump has been very open with the press about what he intends to get done as commander in chief.

On day one of his presidency, he took questions from reporters in the Oval Office as he signed dozens of executive orders. Among these, he withdrew the US from the World Health Organization, declared Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations, and called for the Justice Department not to enforce the TikTok ban for 75 days.

He also signed an order which mandates that there are ‘only two genders’.

This had been alluded to in his inaugural address: "As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female."

Trump’s policy read in part: “Agencies will cease pretending that men can be women and women can be men when enforcing laws that protect against sex discrimination. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality."

The order also brought to an end ‘wasteful’ government programmes which promoted diversity and inclusivity.

Also on the chopping block was the 1965 Equal Employment Opportunity Act. The Equal Employment Opportunity Act was previously put into place to both promote opportunities for and protect women, ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ people and other traditionally underrepresented groups within society.

It also prohibited discrimination in the workplace based on race, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, and marital or familial status.

Ever since its formation 60 years ago, supporters have continually argued that the program is vital in order to address longstanding inequities and structural racism in the United States.

There have been a lot of big changes since Trump began his second term - and there’s still four years left to go.
