PRESIDENT Donald Trump has taken great measures to remove every sign of rival Kamala Harris as his first 100 days come to a close.
Trump’s recent actions have provoked a strong reaction from Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, as he expressed his dismay over the President’s move against the Democratic leaders, as he carries out a complete revamp of the White House.
On Tuesday, the outraged corporate lawyer moaned about being removed from the United States Holocaust Memorial Council.
He blamed the move on “politicization” and accused the White House of turning “one of the worst atrocities in history into a wedge issue.”
In response to the situation, Doug Emhoff took to social media to reaffirm his unwavering support for Holocaust remembrance, education, and the fight against hate and antisemitism, making it clear that no political maneuver will sway his dedication.
The White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, promptly responded to Emhoff’s statement with a forceful message, asserting that Trump is actively seeking new candidates for his administration.
She said, “President Trump looks forward to appointing new individuals who will not only continue to honor the memory of those who perished in the Holocaust, but who are also steadfast supporters of the State of Israel.”
Emhoff’s strike at the Trump administration has come amidst a wave of silence from the would-be first family.
Harris and Emhoff have been enjoying their privacy since losing to Trump in a landslide vote, with the lawyer taking a high-powered job in New York City to fill his time.
Meanwhile, the former vice president is plotting her next moves and just recently accepted her first real speaking opportunity since the loss.
However, Harris was immediately mocked when fans learned the truth behind the outrageous speech.
On Wednesday night, the California Democrat is set to speak at the elite Emerge America gala, where general admission seats cost a steep $250.
And those who want to watch from home will also have to shell out a questionable $25 for a “digital ticket.”
People weren’t quiet about their feelings over the steep costs, with one critic calling the speech a “grift.”
“Why won’t these failed leftists fade into obscurity?” the person wrote on X.
“Oh, they have to keep the grift going.”
Others mocked that they wouldn’t even tune in to the speech for free and joked that the price of “word salad” is going up.
“Does she think we just fell out of a coconut tree?” joked another critic.
WHITE HOUSE CHANGES
While Harris’ political future remains a mystery, Trump is triumphantly erasing every trace of his Democratic predecessors.
Outside of Emhoff’s firing, the president also yanked a presidential portrait of Barack Obama off the walls, and replaced it with a painting of him boldly raising his fist.
The iconic image appears to be based on the picture of Trump yelling in defiance after a would-be assassin clipped him in the ear with bullets.
The White House even made a video showcasing the design change and posted it with the caption, “Some new artwork at the White House.”
BIDEN BLOCKED
Soon after taking office, Trump attacked an exhaustive list of executive orders put in place by Joe Biden and struck them from the record.
He’s removed around 100 policies, which his office deemed massive failures.
Some of the orders “elevated radical gender ideology” and forced “necessary regulations on industries,” the White House said in March,
Trump has made it clear that rolling out a fresh future for America is his number one priority, and decisions made by predecessors won’t hold him back.
“I can undo almost everything Biden did,” Trump said.
“And on day one, much of that will be undone.”
How Trump changed the world in first 100 days
Donald Trump has signed over 140 executive orders in his first 100 days back in office. After making a slew of promises before re-entering the White House, what has he achieved so far?
Education:
Trump signed an executive order to cut federal money to schools that support or are seen to “push critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content” onto children.
He has also signed an order to cut funding to schools that have a mandate about vaccines and masks.
The President is also working on closing the federal Education Department and pulling back on DEI policies and programs, directing the federal government to end its diversity and equity programs.
Classified Records:
In March 2025, the White House released the classified documents on the assassination of JFK, something Trump vowed to do in October 2024 “immediately” after re-entering office.
Energy:
In September 2024, Trump vowed to declare a national energy emergency to push for more drilling and boosting “domestic energy supply” which he did when he signed an executive order upon entering the White House.
Another promise he has kept was signing an executive order to remove the US from the Paris Agreement.
Two other orders Trump has signed are working to keep his promises to end state emissions waivers that limit sales of gas-powered cars and to bring an end to the “electric vehicle mandate.”
Foreign Affairs:
The President vowed to end the Russia-Ukraine war soon after entering office and has become a key negotiator between the warring nations.
Though he has so far failed to end the bloodshed, his action has moved talks on to finding a ceasefire agreement.
He also criticised the amount of US funding going to Ukraine, quickly ramping up pressure on European allies to take on more of the burden.
As part of his diplomacy and foreign strategy, Trump has already hosted at least 11 world leaders in his first 100 days with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu being the first leader welcomed to the White House on February 4.
Government:
Trump said he would fire government employees who he says are “corrupt bureaucrats” which is something he has addressed via another executive order.
He also established DOGE to root out blockers to efficiency with Elon Musk brandishing the “chainsaw for bureaucracy.”
DOGE cuts have seen major reductions in the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and attempts to make cuts in the Department of Education.
Cuts of $47.4 billion have been made to the Department of Health and Human Services while over $45 billion has been taken from the Agency for International Development, and $2.6 billion has been cut from the Department of State, according to DOGE.
Immigration:
The President has long been waging a war on immigration and has signed numerous executive orders in a bid to fulfil his plans.
These include carrying out the biggest deportation in US history to “end the migrant invasion,” ending the constitutional right to birthright citizenship, banning refugees from Gaza and removing the student visas of those deemed to be pro-Hamas protesters, “radical anti-American and anti-Semitic foreigners.”
He also signed an order to start “ideological screening” for all immigrants and axed the CBP One app used by migrants to schedule appointments US border patrol agents.
Illegal border crossings from Mexico are now the lowest they have been for over four years but there are fears that some of those being deported under Trump’s action against “killers and thugs” are innocent and are not being given due process.
Pardons:
Trump has pardoned over 1,500 people including the majority of those convicted or charged in the Capitol Hill riots on January 6, 2021.
He has also pardoned Ross Ulbricht, the founder of a dark web marketplace known as Silk Road and Charles Kushner, Ivanka Trump’s father-in-law who was in prison for tax evasion, witness tampering, and campaign finance offences.
Tariffs:
In November, Trump said he would “tariff the hell out of countries that have been taking advantage” of the US, something he is continuing to work on after his “Liberation Day” announcement of a “reciprocal tariff” strategy with tariffs up to 145%, most harshly impacting China.
Taxes:
Through congressional action, the President has started cutting corporate tax rates to 15%, make tax cuts permanent, have no tax on tips, scrap taxes on Social Security and overtime pay, and making interest on car loans entirely tax deductible.
