Trump lists regulatory rollbacks and cultural policy changes on first anniversary

The White House · January 20, 2026

Summary

The president outlined a set of executive actions and policy reversals — ending certain DEI policies, rescinding EV mandates, reinstating Columbus Day, and proposing to restore mental institutions — as signatures of his first year in office.

President Trump catalogued a number of domestic policy changes he said the administration accomplished in its first year: rescinding diversity, equity and inclusion policies in federal programs, cancelling electric vehicle mandates, ending certain Environmental Protection Agency standards (``ridiculous cafe standards''), and reinstating Columbus Day. He also said he had signed orders to reinstate in‑person federal work policies and to reinstate mental institutions.

He presented these actions as restoring common sense and reducing what he characterized as 'woke' policies, and he named specific agencies and standards he said were changed. Reporters asked for statute or regulation citations for some actions; the president repeated the claims but did not cite specific regulatory documents in the remarks themselves.
