The social policy of the Donald Trump administration was generally socially conservative. As of 2016, Donald Trump described himself as pro-life with exceptions for rape, incest, and circumstances endangering the life of the mother.[1] He said he was committed to appointing justices who may overturn the ruling in Roe v. Wade.[2] Trump appointed three Supreme Court justices during his presidency. All of them later went on to vote in the majority opinion of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the Supreme Court case overturning Roe v. Wade and ending federal abortion rights nationwide.

Before his presidency, Trump made contradictory comments on same-sex marriage.[17] Whereas he largely avoided commenting on LGBT issues as a candidate, his administration rolled back numerous LGBT protections.[18] He ordered a ban on all transgender personnel from serving in the military during his presidency.[19] Trump supported a broad interpretation of the Second Amendment and said he was opposed to gun control in general,[20][21] although his views have shifted over time.[22] Trump also supported removing the federal government from determining the legality of recreational marijuana and supported states that have legalized medical marijuana.[23][24]

In terms of criminal justice, Trump has stated to be "tough on crime" and for "law and order". He frequently praised law enforcement officers and was critical of the Black Lives Matter movement amid the George Floyd protests, calling the words "Black lives matter" a symbol of hate.[25] He favored capital punishment,[26][27] as well as the use of waterboarding saying his administration would do "a hell of a lot worse" if he was elected.[28][29] In 2018, Trump signed the bipartisan First Step Act in law, a bill aimed at reforming federal prisons and sentencing laws.[30]
