Many President Trump supporters agreed with the idea of ensuring the safety and prosperity of America and its citizens before taking care of so many other countries. The voices of those supporters are now being silenced with the swipe of a pen. The agreement with this idea is not xenophobic or racist. Concerns with growing poverty and homelessness after the last 8 months of nationwide lockdowns, the increase in unemployment, and the politicizing of COVID has left the nation and her people unsettled to say the least.

While several executive orders were called for by his base, such as those addressing racial and ethnic equity, and COVID response, much of the fine print expands government power and does little to imminently help U.S. citizens or correct the sources of these problems the common people face together.
I thank @POTUS for today's executive orders supporting communities of color.
Ensuring racial equity in housing, voting & criminal justice will make our nation stronger and fairer.https://t.co/MyMSgLL53O
