Donald Trump is back in the Oval Office, and he’s wasting no time making waves. Just hours after being sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, Trump signed a flurry of executive orders and issued nearly 1,600 pardons. His actions touched on hot-button topics like healthcare, immigration, and the environment, signaling the start of what he calls a “golden age” for America. This isn’t just another presidency—it’s a comeback story. Four years after losing the 2020 election and facing impeachment, Trump is back with big plans. From declaring a national emergency at the Southern border to renaming the Gulf of Mexico (now the “Gulf of America”), his agenda is as bold as ever. He’s even vowed to reclaim the Panama Canal, calling it a priority for U.S. policy. For students and citizens alike, keeping up with these rapid changes can feel overwhelming. That’s why a new lesson plan encourages people to pick an issue they care about—whether it’s climate change, healthcare, or immigration—and track how Trump’s policies unfold. The goal? To critically assess his actions and share your voice. One suggestion: write an open letter about an issue that matters to you and submit it to a contest this spring. So, what are your hopes and fears for Trump’s second term? Take a moment to brainstorm. Whether you’re excited about his promises or worried about the impact, now’s the time to engage. After all, this isn’t just his presidency—it’s America’s future. ---
