Trump’s new slate of executive orders sketches a radically different vision of government power and economic control. By directing the Treasury and Commerce Departments to build a U.S. sovereign wealth fund, he is pushing Washington directly into the investment arena, with the possibility of buying into giants like TikTok. That move alone blurs the line between regulator and market player, raising fears of political favoritism and unprecedented federal leverage over private platforms that shape public opinion.
At the same time, his January 2025 deregulation order — demanding ten rules scrapped for every new one — is designed to gut decades of federal oversight at record speed. Paired with withdrawing again from the Paris Climate Agreement and lifting restrictions on single‑use plastics, the message is unmistakable: growth first, consequences later. For millions, these orders feel like a high‑stakes bet with their economy, their data, and their planet on the line.
