Joe Biden Executive Orders | QT Politics

Joe Biden was inaugurated as President of the United States on January 20th, 2021. After the inauguration, the new president got to work on his first day, signing an astounding 17 executive orders, presidential memoranda, and agency directives, 9 of which are direct reversals of Trump policy.

He tweeted, using a non-suspended Twitter account,

“There is no time to waste when it comes to tackling the crises we face. That’s why today, I am heading to the Oval Office to get right to work delivering bold action and immediate relief for American families.”

While Biden campaigned as a moderate, who prefers unity, cooperation and compromise, his actions on his first day as president sent a clear signal of how he intends to operate.

Of course, it’s not just the number of actions, but their contents that really matter. So, in this video, I’m going to break down all 17 of Biden’s day one executive actions.

Do they indicate that Biden will be a leader who prefers moderation, and a ‘return to normal’? Or do they paint a far more imposing portrait?

Will he be a president of change?

I think he went too far by removing the diet coke button, though. We need to urge the president to rethink the place that diet coke holds in the executive office.

"from a non deleted Twitter account" 😂
Shots fired

Would love to see a video on Biden’s cabinet picks.

[AlexanderGreensmith]

You know ur early to a Question Time video when the top comment isn't even about John Delaney yet.

I'm not Biden's biggest fan, he isn't nearly as progressive as I would like but I'm also pretty satisfied with his first days, his Executive Orders are pretty good and I like that he's pushing for student debt cancellation. I hope with Bernie as Chair of the Senate Budget Committee they can achieve some actual meaningful change because, now more than ever, working families desperately need it.

I appreciate the tacit nod to the "The Rent is Too Damn High Party." Anyway, #YangGangLove

4:35 “Former President Donald Trump...”
So good to hear 😍

[birchtree]

Mr QT man is the goat for the rapid fire content and analyzing stuff quickly

[freakyscottdude]

If Biden can pass an Executive Order wiping the movie Cats from my memory, that would be greatly appreciated!!

[HoldMeForever]

Delaney would've managed to bring Congress together and pass sweeping legislation.

This channel is way to underrated. I've been watching for a while, and all of the video's seem to have a lot of research and effort in them. Definitely deserves more subs and recognition.

[daltonstalvey]

I was waiting for a QT video about this. Thanks, and very well done!

[Lamsaturn]

I'm glad you've been able to pivot from doing mostly election analysis to other content : ) Keep it up!

[nathanielthrush]

Listen, I’m a hardcore Delaniac, don’t get me wrong, but I do think Biden went a little too far when he resigned and installed John Delaney as the eternal leader for all of time. A little anti-Democratic if you ask me

[HxHDRA]

"Nothing will fundamentally change"
Good on the pipeline tho. Will you be covering his foreign policy? After all class consciousness in the age of globalism is useless without geopolitical literacy imo

[RipCityBassWorks]

How is this even a question? We should be "compromising" with the people who tried to overturn the results of the election. Meeting extremists halfway still results in extreme policy.

[TheGoldStandard]

Question Time and Secular Talk are my two favorite political channels

[FlimsyPickles]

“Using a nonsuspended Twitter account” 😂

[luminaryprism]

There’s obviously a lot to be desired with this Administration but thus far I’m pleasantly surprised. Let’s keep this energy going.

What do you expect Joe Biden to actually accomplish within the next 4 years?
