Trump Begins Term by Purging Diverse Opinions, Undermining Democracy

Within a mere 24 hours of assuming office, Donald Trump's actions suggest an alarming start to his presidency as he moves to eliminate experienced personnel from the executive branch. These staff members, ousted for not sharing Trump's 'Make America Great Again' ideology, signify a troubling attempt to create a homogenous government that mirrors only his views. In doing so, Trump risks stifiling the democratic values of open dialogue and diverse perspectives vital for a healthy republic.
