Victor Davis Hanson's analysis of the WNBA suggests the league's established culture—which he describes as predominantly Black and gay—is hostile toward new stars like Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham.

The implementation of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and ESG policies is blamed for undermining American capitalism and corporate competence.

The Trump administration has initiated a formal review of the Smithsonian Institution, aiming to eliminate "woke" ideology and DEI programs.

Federal contractors are reportedly distancing themselves from Pride celebrations due to the Trump administration's increased regulation of DEI initiatives in the private sector. In Washington D.C., the Gay Men's Chorus had a performance postponed at the Kennedy Center, which they attributed to political "chilling effects" following the President's takeover of the institution.

Despite this, supporters of the administration's policies point to the removal of criminal illegal immigrants and the rejection of visas for "troublemakers" as signs of success. The shift away from DEI and systemic racism initiatives is also cited as a positive development in "Trump Land."
