2017
The Trump Administration advanced and enacted numerous social conservative policies in 2017.[1][2] Due to his achievements in advancing conservative social policies, President Trump was described as "taking back America's culture" by the conservative media.[3] United States Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price, who resigned in late September 2017, used his tenure as secretary to advance numerous conservative policies.[4] President Trump played a large role in the Culture War.[5]
Legislation, 2017
- December 22, 2017—As part of a $1.5 trillion tax cut bill President Trump signed, the ObamaCare individual mandate was also repealed.[6]
Executive actions, 2017
The Trump Administration took numerous actions related to healthcare and welfare:
- January 20, 2017—On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order that would lessen Obamacare's burden while Republicans work to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.[7][8]
- August 30, 2017—The Department of Health and Human Services rescinded an Obama-era directive that had allowed states to request a waiver to ignore work requirements for the poor in order to receive welfare.[9]
- October 12, 2017—President Trump signed an executive order to increase market competition and make the healthcare market freer, such as by expanding access to plans that reach across state lines and which do not have to comply with ObamaCare rules.[10] The Labor Department finalized the rule resulting from this order in June 2018.[11]
- October 12, 2017—The Trump Administration announced it would stop paying Obamacare subsidies, which a federal court ruled during the Obama Administration to be unconstitutional.[12]
- In addition to creating initiatives to reduce food stamp usage,[13] the Trump Administration cracked down on food stamp fraud.[14]
The Trump Administration took numerous actions related to religious liberty:
- May 4, 2017—On the annual National Day of Prayer,[15] President Trump signed an executive order on religious liberty. Among its provisions, it loosened IRS restrictions against political activities by tax-exempt religious organizations, effectively weakening the Johnson Amendment; and it attempted to make it easier for employers not to provide contraceptives if they had religious objections.[16] The order gave conservative Attorney General Jeff Sessions greater authority regarding religious liberty policy.[17] Although well received by some Christians and conservatives,[18] others criticized it for being ineffective and easy to repeal.[19] According to the Family Research Council nearly one year later, the order helped faith-based groups give healthcare coverage to 13.7 million Americans, among other positive effects.[20]
- October 6, 2017—The Department of Health and Human Services rolled back the ObamaCare contraceptive mandate which required employers to provide birth control and sterilization procedures to employees even if the employers disagreed with the services for religious and moral reasons.[21][22]
- October 6, 2017—The Department of Justice issued several memos directing how federal agencies should interpret religious freedom, directing the DOJ to vet proposed regulations for any potential impact on religious freedom, and ordering the IRS not to enforce the Johnson Amendment.[22][23]
- November 6, 2017—The Department of Agriculture issued a guidance protecting religious liberty and ensuring that Christians who opposed homosexual "marriage" would not be discriminated against for their beliefs.[24]
The Trump Administration took numerous actions related to homosexual, transgender, and other sex-related matters:
- January 20, 2017—While a symbolic move, the newly-sworn-in Trump Administration quickly removed the Obama Administration's web pages on LGBTQ issues, among some other left-wing causes.[25]
- February 22, 2017—President Trump rescinded former President Obama's pro-transgender guidelines for schools receiving federal aid that are subject to Title IX.[26] A day earlier, the Trump Administration announced it would discontinue Obama's pro-transgender policies,[27] and earlier that month the DOJ refused to defend the policy or appeal a court-ordered injunction on the policy.[28]
- April 14, 2017—The Justice Department dropped its discrimination lawsuit against North Carolina for its "bathroom bill" (filed under the Obama Administration) after North Carolina passed a compromise bill. Homosexual activists still opposed the new bill.[29]
- In May 2017, the Trump Administration began to undo Section 1557 of ObamaCare, which would have helped liberals gain transexual "rights" through the courts.[30]
- President Trump did not proclaim June 2017 as LGBT Pride Month, unlike former presidents Clinton and Obama.[31]
- June 30, 2017—The Department of Defense announced it would delay an Obama Administration plan to have the military recruit transgender people for six months in order to ensure the military's readiness would not be affected by the change.[32] On July 26, 2017, President Trump announced he would reverse Obama's policy and disallow transgender people from serving in the military.[33] President Trump formally signed an order banning transgenders from joining the military on August 25, 2017.[34] President Trump signed a final order on March 23, 2018, that banned transgender individuals from military service but with certain exceptions.[35]
- October 4, 2017—The Department of Justice issued a memo reversing an Obama-era policy that had the DOJ interpret the scope of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to extend to "gender identity."[36]
Appointments, 2017
- April 14, 2017—President Trump appointed Roger Severino, a strong defender of religious liberty, to the HHS Office for Civil Rights.[37] By April 2018, Severino had become a major figure in advancing the Trump Administration's pro-religious liberty policies.[38][39]
- June 6, 2017—The Trump Administration appointed Valerie Huber, an abstinence education advocate, to the position of chief of staff to the assistant secretary for health at the HHS.[40]
- July 2017—President Trump appointed Bethany Kozma, a conservative homemaker and anti-transgender activist as Senior Adviser in the Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment division of USAID.[41] In March 2018, Kozma reportedly stated that the U.S. "is a pro-life country" at a private United Nations meeting.[42]
Proclamations, 2017
- November 19–25, 2017—President Trump declared this week to be National Family Week to "emphasize the importance of preserving and promoting strong families, the cornerstone of our society."[43]
Other achievements, 2017
While the following achievements were not official United States government policy actions by the Trump Administration, they were closely related to the Trump Administration and its policies:
- October 13, 2017—President Donald Trump became the first sitting U.S. President to speak at the Family Research Council's Value Voters Summit,[44] in which he voiced strong support for social conservative policies.[45]
- Food stamp levels fell after Trump took office.[13][46] By August 2017, the number of people on food stamps had fallen by 1.1 million people since the beginning of Trump's presidency,[47] and it was reported in September 2017 that the number of people using food stamps had declined each month of Trump's presidency to that point.[48] By the end of Fiscal Year 2017, the number of people on food stamps had dropped by over 2 million,[49] and the number fell to 2.2 million fewer in Trump's first full year in office.[50] In FY 2017, the federal government spent the lowest amount of money on the food stamp program in seven years.[51] Between October and November 2017, four million people stopped using food stamps,[52] and in December 2017, it dropped by over 500,000.[53] According to the USDA, in 2017, participation in the Women, Infant, and Children (WIC) food stamp and welfare program reached its lowest level in 17 years.[54] In 2017, the number of people applying for disability benefits through the Social Security Administration fell below 1.5 million – the lowest level since 2002, and something attributed to the strong economy.[55] The drop was so large that the SSA had to revise its estimates of how much longer the program would remain financially stable.[55]
Failures, 2017
- January 31, 2017—President Donald Trump announced he would keep a 2014 executive order signed by former President Obama that gave protected status to homosexual employees of the government and federal contractors.[56][57] Additionally, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner reportedly derailed a proposed executive order protecting religious liberty at the same time.[58] However, supporters of homosexual privileges claimed that a March 27, 2017 order, which repealed much of Obama's 2014 executive order, went against Trump's statement to keep the 2014 Obama order (which, if true, would annul this supposed failure).[59]
- It was reported in June 2017 that the Trump Administration officials continued Obama's advancement of transgender ideology into public schools.[60]
- Despite the Trump Administration's actions in advancing social conservative policies,[1] some conservatives, citing numerous examples in Trump's presidency, argued that President Trump had not taken as strong a stance in favor of religious liberty and social conservatism as expected.[61]
- August 2017—Not only did Secretary of State Rex Tillerson announce he would keep two programs in the department intended to increase racial diversity,[62] but he announced that the department would take further action for racial diversity, such as considering at least one minority for every ambassadorship position.[63] In addition, the State Department under Tillerson recognized the "Transgender Day of Remembrance."[64]
2018
The Trump Administration continued promoting social conservative policies and defending religious liberty,[20][65] and the HHS had become a strong defender of religious freedom by January 2018.[39][66][67] Meanwhile, in the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Secretary Ben Carson worked to advance a conservative agenda.[68]

The Trump Administration took several actions related to religious liberty:
- January 18, 2018—The HHS created the Conscience and Religious Freedom Division office, part of the Office of Civil Rights, in order to protect doctors and other healthcare workers from being forced to participate in abortions, euthanasia, and transgender surgeries.[39][77] The next day, the HHS began the process of enacting a regulation to require healthcare providers to follow laws that protect workers' from being forced to perform services, such as abortions, that violate their consciences.[66][78]
- January 2018—The DOJ added new guidelines regarding religious liberty in its U.S. Attorneys' Manual, prioritizing the issue for the department and intended to strengthen such protections.[79]

- May 3, 2018—Speaking at a National Day of Prayer event,[81] President Trump signed an order creating a faith-based White House office, the White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative, intended to help protect religious liberty and include the perspective of "faith-based" Americans when making policy.[82]

The Trump Administration too actions on other social issues:
