Quite the contrast. What https://t.co/H5IzxBZxly looked like yesterday, compared to what it looks like now. #Inauguration pic.twitter.com/Rux8yGWQH4

Civil rights, climate change and healthcare removed from White House website
We are already getting an idea of the issues that will matter during the Trump presidency, and the ones that won’t. Within moments of being sworn into office, the Trump White House removed all references to civil rights, climate change and healthcare from the White House website.

Instead, the new website has a page dedicated to “An American First Energy Plan,” which is entirely lacking a climate change policy.
Civil rights and criminal justice reform replaced with law enforcement
In addition to removing all references to climate change, the pages on civil rights and criminal justice reform have been swapped for a page that details the dangers facing the law enforcement community, saying there is a “dangerous anti-police sentiment in America” that won’t continue under Trump’s “law and order administration.”
The page also continues to use the false statistics about inner city crime that Donald Trump has been using since the campaign.
Healthcare, LGBT rights and Veterans also removed from Trump White House website
The removal of important issues didn’t end with climate change and civil rights. The Trump White House website also removed all references to healthcare, LGBT people and Veterans.
