MISANTHROPIC ART weighs in on new U.S.A. President Donald Trump's inauguration and new administration.
FROM MISANTHROPIC ART:
January 20th, what a dark day for the USA and democracy in the world. Not only is Trump the new president, he pardoned a bunch of far-right January 6th terrorists, and his new best buddy Elon Musk made a Nazi salute during his speech at Trump’s inauguration.
Not to mention Trumps decision to leave the WHO, abandon the Paris Agreement, gets rid of US citizenship at birth, strengthening the death penalty, and other ludicrous decisions.
This of course goes deeper and is also a problem within the (Black) Metal scene where right-wing idiots spread their vile ideologies. Some might say, but in the 90s and early 2000s it wasn’t all political. We are living in 2025 and this isn’t a time for excuses and relativization, it’s a time to stand united against fascism!

US President Donald Trump signed a flurry of executive orders on his inauguration day. The first executive order Trump signed as the 47th president of the United States was to rescind 78 regulations established by his predecessor Joe Biden.
Other directives signed at Capitol One Arena included an order to all federal departments and agencies to address the cost-of-living crisis as well as an order to stop government censorship.
Trump signed the presidential edicts at a red desk at Capitol One Arena in front of tens of thousands of cheering fans. The crowd of Trump supporters had gathered at the venue to watch a livestream of the inauguration and celebrate their president.
Normally, the incoming US president signs executive orders at the Oval Office in the White House, which Trump also did later in the day with more edicts.
Executive orders are directives the president issues without having to consult Congress, which is in charge of passing regular laws. The president can circumvent the House and the Senate by issuing his own instructions directly to federal officials. Executive orders can, however, be challenged in court ― and can be reversed by the next president.
