21.01.2025 โ‡ข Trump Orders While Bishop Preaches Mercy
โŒจTrump's first hours in office brought a cascade of executive orders, starting with pardons for 1,500 January 6 defendants and withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement. By morning, he declared Mexican cartels terrorist organizations and announced immigration raids.

PM Starmer addressed the Southport attack, acknowledging prior knowledge of Rudakubana's extremist history while warning of a "new terrorism threat." The Times revealed the attacker had admitted carrying knives ten times before the murders, with evidence of easy online weapon purchases.

A confrontational prayer service saw a bishop publicly criticizing Trump's policies toward immigrants and LGBTQ+ communities, generating visible presidential displeasure. By evening, Trump moved to enable immigration raids on churches and schools, while Democratic states prepared legal challenges over birthright citizenship changes.

British media coverage split between examining missed opportunities in the Southport case and analyzing Trump's rapid policy reversals.
