Just few hours are left for the inauguration ceremony of Donald Trump. Additionally, Donald Trump’s first day at the White House will be the busiest in US Presidential history. Trump said for his Day 1, “Your head will spin when you see what’s going to happen”. The US-President elect promised a blitz of emergency and significant actions at a huge win rally on the eve of the big event, starting with a crackdown on immigration, sealing the US border, and ending birthright citizenship.
Trump said, “Starting tomorrow, I will act with historic speed and strength and fix every single crisis facing our country”. During his tenure as the US President for the second term, Trump aims to boost US energy production, end the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and remove federal workers deemed disloyal.
Immigration: ‘Largest Deportation Program in American History’
Donald Trump has been raising concerns over the increasing immigration in the United States. During his campaign rallies for the 2024 presidential race, Trump promised to take swift action on Day 1 of his second term, vowing to declare a national emergency in response to the growing influx of undocumented immigrants. His plan includes a focus on arresting and removing people through the use of large detention facilities, with an emphasis on addressing what he refers to as the “invasion” of illegal immigration.
Speaking at a rally in North Carolina’s Kinston on November 3, 2024, Trump said, “The day I take the oath of office, the migrant invasion ends and the restoration of our country begins. On Day 1, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history. I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered.”
Close US Borders
Trump is likely to close the US border on Day 1, in an attempt to stop illegal border crossings. He said in a rally at Coachella in October 2024, “And on Day 1, I will close the border, and I will stop the invasion of illegal criminals coming into our country”.
Ending Citizenship For ‘Children of Illegal Aliens’
Trump plans to end the practice of granting automatic citizenship to children born in the US to undocumented immigrants. Trump said at Pickens in South Carolina, in a rally on July 1, 2023, “I will sign a Day 1 executive order ending automatic citizenship for the children of illegal aliens”.
Cut Federal Funding of Schools Supporting ‘Transgender Insanity’
One of the biggest promises Trump made to the US is when he said he would sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for schools pushing race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content onto children. He also promised to roll back the Biden administration’s Title IX protections against discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation. However, earlier this month, a federal judge determined that these regulations exceeded presidential authority and invalidated them.
25% Tariff on Everything Imported From Mexico, Canada
One of the biggest moves, Donald Trump is to impose substantial tariffs on imports from key trade partners: Mexico, Canada and China. On Day 1, Trump intends to enact a 25 % tariff on products from Canada and Mexico, as well as a 10 % tariff on Chinese imports. Trump said in a post on Truth Social on November 25, 2024, “On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States”.
Demolish ‘Deep State’: Firing Disloyal Federal Workers
Trump also intends to target and fire the so-called “deep state” workers who he views as disloyal to his administration’s agenda. “We will demolish the ‘deep state.’ We will expel the warmongers from our government. We will drive out the globalists. We will cast out the communists, Marxists and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media.”
Pardon Jan 6 Capitol Hill Attack Rioters
Amid reports of his alleged role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack, Trump in a rally in Wisconsin said, “The moment we win, we will rapidly review the cases of every political prisoner unjustly victimized by the Harris regime, and I will sign their pardons on Day 1.” However, in another interview, he said, “Oh, absolutely, I would. If they’re innocent — if they’re innocent, I would pardon them.”
End Russia-Ukraine War
Trump promised to end the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine before even taking office. In an interview, he said, “I’ll get the war with Ukraine and Russia ended. If I’m president-elect, I’ll get it done before even becoming president.”
End Electric Vehicle Mandate
The US-President elect intends to cancel the electric vehicle mandate. While it’s unclear what specific federal mandates he is referencing to, but it seems he might undo Biden-era policies related to electric vehicles (EVs), including a few possible environmental and fuel economy standards. “I will cancel Kamala’s insane electric vehicle mandate, ” he said at Grand Rapids, Michigan, on November 4, 2024.
“Drill, Drill, Drill”: Trump Commits to US Energy Independence
Trump has vowed to increase oil drilling within the United States. He highlighted that one of his main priorities on Day 1 would be to push for higher oil production, reiterating his belief that boosting domestic drilling would drastically reduce energy costs.
