Days after taking office, President Donald Trump reportedly banned Pride and Black Lives Matter banners from government property, sparking controversy.
The decision was seen as an immediate shift in policy, particularly on LGBTQ+ rights and racial justice issues.
This move was criticized by LGBTQ+ and racial justice groups, who viewed it as an attempt to undermine these important causes. It marked a pattern of reversing progressive policies from the previous administration.
Trump’s actions early in his presidency highlighted his commitment to challenging established social movements and setting a conservative tone for his time in office.
