When Donald Trump returns to the White House, he’s wasting no time. His ambitious day-one plan includes a whirlwind of executive actions, sweeping pardons, and controversial policies. He’s ready to tackle everything from trade wars to immigration, and even reshape government structures. Let’s take a look at some of the bold moves Trump is preparing to make from his first day back in power.
Big Decisions on Trade
Trump’s taking charge with a massive shift in trade policies. He’s promised hefty tariffs on goods coming from Mexico, Canada, and China, signaling his push to crack down on illegal immigration and what he calls unfair trade practices.
Trump has also mentioned creating a new “External Revenue Service” to collect tariffs and fees, though the exact details are still a bit unclear. But one thing’s for sure—he’s bringing back a tough approach to trade that he believes will make America stronger.
Cracking Down on Immigration
One of Trump’s signature promises is going after illegal immigration, and he’s planning to hit the ground running. He’s spoken about beginning “the largest deportation operation” the country has ever seen. This includes deporting criminal offenders and potentially using the military to help with the massive operation.
Another big promise? He aims to challenge the 14th Amendment’s birthright citizenship, although this will likely spark a legal battle that could eventually reach the Supreme Court.
Energy and Environment
Trump is ready to turn up the heat on the oil and gas industry. He’s already promised to expand fracking and drilling, and he’s planning to push forward projects like the Keystone XL pipeline. His aim? To make the U.S. energy independent and boost the economy.
Reshaping Government
From firing federal workers to restructuring entire agencies, Trump wants to make the government more efficient. He’s promised to remove civil service protections for federal workers, making it easier to fire them, and to move federal agencies out of Washington, D.C. This will be a major shift in how the government operates and could lead to significant changes in how agencies work.
Pardons and Justice
Trump hasn’t forgotten about the people involved in the January 6th Capitol riot. He’s promised to grant pardons to those convicted in connection with the event. While this has sparked mixed reactions, it’s clear that Trump is ready to make bold decisions on the justice front.
Culture Wars
In addition to his stance on immigration and trade, Trump is also taking aim at cultural issues. He’s pledged to ban minors from receiving gender-affirming care and to restore his previous ban on transgender individuals serving in the military. He’s also promised to take action against schools teaching “critical race theory” and to cut funding from schools that enforce vaccine mandates.
What’s Next?
Inauguration Day is usually a time for celebration and tradition, but Trump’s first day back will be packed with actions aimed at pushing his agenda forward. Whether it’s through trade, immigration, or cultural policies, he’s ready to leave his mark and fight for the changes he promised during his campaign. It’s going to be a busy day in Washington—so stay tuned to see how these bold moves unfold!
