President Trump promised to wage war on Joe Biden’s insidious implementation of Marxist ideology in the White House and beyond, vowing to undo a recent executive order from the Oval Office that would mandate “Marxist ‘equity.’”
In a new policy video released on Thursday, Trump added to his Agenda 47 campaign policy pitch lineup with a brand new game plan to combat “Communism, Marxism, or whatever you want to call it.”
“Joe Biden recently signed a very sinister executive order mandating that almost every federal department and agency establish a Marxist ‘equity’—this is something new—enforcement squad to implement a woke takeover of the entire federal government,” Trump said. “Every institution in America is under attack from this Marxist concept of ‘equity.’ Instead of treating everyone equally, making decisions based on merit or qualifications, “equity” means that benefits are awarded and policies are enforced based on skin color and sexual identity. We don’t think that’s a good idea. It’s a catch-all term used by the Radical Left to justify every one of its crazy programs.”
In February, Biden expanded his administration’s efforts to advance an Executive Order that he had signed in 2021 (EO 13985), in which the Federal Government was charged with “advancing equity for all, including communities that have long been underserved, and by addressing systemic racism in our Nations policies and programs.”
Trump’s press statement provided more detail about Biden’s EO agenda here:
“Under Biden’s order, within 30 days, over 20 agencies including the Treasury, the Department of Justice, Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Defense will be required to implement an ‘Agency Equity Team.’ These teams will be tasked with infusing radical left-wing concepts and training throughout the federal workforce as well as submitting annual equity plans to a new White House Steering Committee on Equity.”
Via the White House, this ongoing effort pushes for “equitable outcomes” in the workplace, as well as the aforementioned “Agency Equity Teams” that will implement equity training and equity leadership development.
For reference, “equality” is defined as the state of being “equal,” while “equity” is defined as an equal distribution of resources and opportunities to reach an equal or guaranteed outcome.
President Trump continued, “With his action, Biden is weaponizing every tool of government power to push this racism and this Communism and Marxism, or whatever you want to call it. When FEMA, the EPA, and the FAA, and IRS are corrupted and tasked with enforcing ‘equity,’ freedom and equality under the law are absolutely DEAD. I will revoke this executive order on my first day back in office. I will look forward to it. The Oval Office is a wonderful place, but also a wonderful place to stop things that are very bad for our country from happening.”
Trump promised to terminate “all staffers hired to implement this policy, and eliminate all offices and initiatives connected to it.”
President Trump also pledged to take the following steps to tear down Biden’s equity programs in all areas of federal entanglement if he is elected in 2024:
- He will revoke Biden’s DEI executive order and reinstated Trump’s 2020 EO banning stereotyping “based on race and sex” in federal hiring,
- Investigate discrimination and civil rights abuses related to the Biden administration’s policies,
- Terminate staffers who were hired to implement the equity policies, as well as its initiatives and offices,
- Create a special team to review every action taken by federal agencies within Biden’s policy initiative,
- Request that Congress create a “restitution fund for Americans who have been unjustly discriminated against by these “‘equity’ policies” and “restore a merit-based federal civil service.”
“I will get this extremism out of the White House, out of the military, out of the Justice Department, and out of our government,” Trump promised. “We don’t want it in our country. The United States of America will be strong again.”
