When Donald Trump steps into the White House again, he’s got some big, bold plans ready to go — and he wants to get started on Day 1. From mass deportations to shaking up energy policies, here’s a look at what Trump says he’ll do right away.
Mass Deportations
One of Trump’s most dramatic promises is to launch “the largest mass deportation program” in U.S. history. While the details are unclear, this could be a huge task, costing a lot of money and resources. Economists even warn it could hurt the economy, which depends heavily on migrant labor. Trump also plans to challenge birthright citizenship, although it would take more than just an executive order to make it happen.
Energy & Climate Changes
Trump has made it clear he wants to roll back Biden’s climate policies and ramp up oil and gas drilling. While he can issue an executive order, the process of undoing regulations could take time and face legal challenges.
Trans Rights & Sports
Trump’s plan includes banning trans women from competing in women’s sports and cutting funding for schools that teach “critical race theory” and what he calls “transgender insanity.” These promises have sparked strong reactions, especially from LGBTQ groups.
Pardoning Jan. 6 Rioters
Trump wants to pardon those involved in the January 6 attack on the Capitol, calling them “patriots.” He says he’ll review each case personally.
Tariffs & Trade
Trump has threatened steep tariffs on goods from countries like China, Mexico, and Canada, promising to take action on the first day.
Trump’s “Day 1” is shaping up to be a wild start to his presidency!
