President Donald Trump took the stage at a conservative conference recently with the same energy that has defined his political career, making bold claims and setting ambitious goals. If anyone expected him to ease into his second term, they were mistaken.
“I signed an order creating the Department of Government Efficiency, which is now waging war on government waste, fraud and abuse,” Trump declared. Led by Elon Musk, the agency already has uncovered what Trump called “flagrant scams,” including $520 million spent on a consultant for environmental social governance in Africa, and $25 million on biodiversity conservation in Colombia. Trump commended Musk’s work, saying, “He’s doing a great job.”

Of course, this push against bureaucracy hasn’t come without resistance.
“All of the unnecessary, incompetent and corrupt bureaucrats” are on notice, according to Trump, as lawsuits from federal employees attempt to put the brakes on his investigative efforts. But if the CPAC crowd’s reaction was any indication, many Americans are cheering the shake-up.
As reported by The Christian Post, Trump also announced a trip to Fort Knox, where he and Musk plan to inspect the U.S. Bullion Depository.
“Wouldn’t that be terrible if we opened it up and there was no gold there?” he joked, raising eyebrows over government transparency.
The president didn’t stop there. He outlined several key policies his administration is pursuing:
- Gender Ideology in Government: “I made it the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male and female.” Trump positioned this as a pushback against what he calls “transgender insanity.”
- Critical Race Theory: Calling it a “sickness,” he vowed continued efforts to remove race-based ideology from schools and the military.
- Pro-Life Advocacy: Trump celebrated the release of 23 pro-life activists, calling them “political prisoners” and signaling a strong stance on religious freedom and abortion opposition.
- Immigration Enforcement: He pointed to deportations and a “weaponization” rollback, promising to “liberate communities like Aurora, Colorado, and Springfield, Ohio.”
- Education and School Choice: The administration is pushing policies that expand school choice and combat what conservatives see as leftist indoctrination in education.
