Can Trump Actually Pull This Off? His Latest Moves Raise Questions

President Donald Trump is charging full steam ahead in his second term, but questions are piling up. Can he really do the things he’s promising? From controversial executive orders to bold announcements, his recent moves are raising eyebrows—and legal doubts. Here’s a look at what’s happening.

First up: His plan to pay federal workers to resign. The offer? Millions of dollars for employees who agree to quit by September. Military and postal workers are excluded, but experts are skeptical. Does Trump even have the authority to spend government money this way? A federal judge already hit pause on the plan, and while the White House has temporarily backed off, this issue isn’t going away.

Then there’s the Guantanamo Bay proposal. Trump wants to repurpose the infamous prison to house 30,000 migrants who can’t be sent back to their home countries. With most suspected terrorists already removed or released from Guantanamo, Trump sees an opportunity. “Some of them are so bad we don’t even trust the countries to hold them,” he said during a recent speech. But turning the facility into a migrant detention center isn’t as simple as signing an order.

And let’s not forget the $50 million claim. Trump announced he’d stopped funds from being sent to Gaza, claiming the money would’ve been used to make bombs. This extreme version of a statement from his press secretary has already been fact-checked, but it’s just another example of the conflicting messages coming from the White House.

One of the most confusing moves? His ultimatum to federal workers. Trump insists they must return to the office by February 6 or face termination. But a leaked memo offers something entirely different: a chance to resign with pay and skip work until September. Meanwhile, a White House Q&A suggests most workers wouldn’t have to work while being paid. It’s a mess of mixed messages, and experts say Trump doesn’t have the authority to execute this plan without Congress’s approval.

As Trump barrels forward, one thing is clear: His moves are sparking debates over presidential power. Whether he can actually follow through remains to be seen. For now, critics and supporters alike are watching closely to see what happens next.
