Description
President Donald Trump has begun his address to Congress and the American people, laying out his plans for the months ahead.
Trump said he's stamped out diversity and inclusion initiatives nationwide.
“Our country will be woke no longer.”
Trump said his administration has rushed to ban diversity and inclusion programs in the federal government and dismiss workers charged with advancing such efforts.
He also bragged about gender policy.
“I signed an order making it the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female," said Trump.
Trump’s order actually states that there are only two immutable sexes, and it was one of a series Trump has signed that target the rights of transgender people.
The orders pave the way for kicking transgender people out of the military, denying changes to the sex marker on passports and erasing any mention of transgender people from a website commemorating the Stonewall riot, among others And they’re facing legal challenges.
