Donald Trump's new administration deleted swathes of Barack Obama's pet policies from the White House website upon taking office.
Deleted from the website were the phrases 'LGBT' rights and 'climate change.'
A page in the issues section promoted an 'America First Energy Plan' that included a support for clean coal technology. The only reference to the climate is the elimination of an Obama-era environmental initiative to reduce carbon initiatives.
President Donald Trump's administration started migrating content onto the White House website the moment the new executive was inauguration. Noticeably missing on the Republican's website were the phrases 'LGBT' rights and 'climate change'

OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW: The minute that Trump became the 45th President the White House's landing page switched over to a picture of him

The content that appeared on the previous president's website disappeared when the clock struck 12. A Trump transition landing page appeared, followed by a full update to the site.
Gone are President Obama's speeches and remarks, as well as his press secretaries' briefings, and all his old statements. That content was moved over to ObamaWhiteHouse.gov to make way for the 45th President of the United States.
Trump's inauguration speech has since been posted. The nominations and appointments section is also blank, despite his signing of several documents earlier in the day formally making his prospective cabinet secretaries eligible for a vote in the Senate.
His team has populated the site with a mere six issue pages on energy, trade, foreign policy, jobs, the military and law enforcement.
A section on healthcare - an issue area Trump's said he intends to tackle immediately beginning with the repeal of Obamacare - was not there. The website doesn't have an issue page dedicated to immigration, a favorite topic of Trump's, either.
Immigration is mentioned in the section on supporting law enforcement, near the bottom of the statement.
