**Washington, D.C.** – A potential Trump administration is preparing to drastically overhaul federal regulatory agencies, aiming to roll back what they deem “woke” policies and return to a focus on traditional mandates.
According to sources close to the Trump campaign, plans are underway to revert agencies like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to their original missions. This shift would mean a move away from promoting progressive social policies and back towards consumer and investor protection, the report states.
The article points to the Biden administration’s focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives as a prime example of “woke” excesses.
“Joe Biden was maybe the most woke-obsessed president in history,” writes Charlie Gasparino, the author of the report. He goes on to criticize the inclusion of DEI metrics in everything from cabinet appointments to SEC regulations, arguing that they are distracting from the agencies’ core functions.
As evidence of this trend, the report highlights the case of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). FINRA, a self-regulatory organization overseen by the SEC, has been accused by Republican Congressman Byron Donalds of prioritizing DEI initiatives at the expense of its primary mission: preventing financial fraud.
Donalds has formally requested evidence from FINRA on how its DEI efforts contribute to its core mission. He has also suggested that Congressional hearings are likely if Republicans maintain control of the House and Trump wins the election.
The report further analyzes Vice President Kamala Harris’ decision to skip the upcoming Al Smith Dinner, a traditional event where presidential candidates from both parties attend a charity gala. This move, according to Gasparino, is seen as a sign of the Democratic Party’s shift towards a more progressive and activist agenda, potentially alienating key voter groups like Catholics.
The article concludes by suggesting that the potential for a “woke” backlash could benefit Trump in the upcoming election, as voters may be increasingly frustrated with the perceived overreach of federal agencies and the influence of progressive ideology.
