Trump’s Busy Day One

The president-elect has promised over 200 actions on the first day of his second term.

Donald Trump is a man of action, and he has promised to hit the ground running on his first day in office. On the campaign trail, Trump listed over 200 issues on which he plans to take action on day one, the only day he jokingly said he’d be a “dictator.”

One of the defining issues of the 2024 election was illegal immigration. Trump repeatedly and effectively pounded the Biden-Harris administration over its open-border malfeasance. Trump promised to reimpose all his executive-order border actions, which Joe Biden and Kamala Harris immediately reversed upon taking office.

Those actions include reinstating his highly effective “Remain in Mexico” policy for asylum seekers. Trump also promised to resume construction of the border wall that Biden had indefinitely paused. Significantly, Trump has promised to get aggressive on the deportation of illegal aliens and has backed this up by naming the former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Tom Homan, to be his border czar. Trump’s election and his picking of Homan have proven to be a big morale boost to Border Patrol agents.

Furthermore, his promised action on border and immigration enforcement is already paying dividends. How so? A migrant caravan heading toward the U.S. southern border has reportedly broken up, with thousands of would-be illegal aliens abandoning the prospect of getting into and staying in the U.S. upon news of Trump’s election.

Also on Trump’s day-one agenda is action on education. Trump has promised to cut funding to schools that indoctrinate students in the woke ideology of critical race theory and promote the socially destructive and corrupting cult of “transgenderism.” While Harris and her Leftmedia allies twisted his words and then mocked Trump for wanting to protect women, his message was clear. He plans to reverse Biden’s abuse of Title IX protections for girls and women, specifically regarding sports. He wants to expunge Biden’s redefinition of Title IX protections to ensure that it once again only applies to biological women, not males who self-identify as the opposite sex.

Energy is another sector Trump repeatedly focused on fixing. He wants to drill, baby, drill, to free up the American energy sector to bring the country back to the energy independence it achieved during his first term. And Biden’s de facto electric vehicle mandate will be a thing of the past, as Trump will end it. This action will need to be buoyed by changes at the Environmental Protection Agency, and Trump has tapped a prominent critic of Biden’s green energy boondoggle, former New York Congressman Lee Zeldin, to head the agency.

Regarding climate change, Trump will once again pull the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Agreement, reversing Biden’s day-one reversal of Trump’s first-term action.

Then there’s the DC swamp. During his first term, Trump was continuously plagued by the Washington bureaucratic behemoth, particularly within the Justice Department. This time around, Trump is wise to this deep-state insider’s game, and heads will soon be rolling as he acts to clean house and install those who will implement his agenda rather than undermine it.

Additionally, around a thousand individuals who were caught up in the Democrats’ January 6 political lawfare prosecution can look forward to receiving pardons from Trump.

Finally, there’s foreign policy. Trump has promised to take action to end the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. Of course, this is easier said than done, but Trump’s coming return to office already has world leaders responding, many seeking to get on his good side.

Unlike the last term, our next president won’t be spending half his time napping on the beach. He is clearly energized and ready to get to work on behalf of the American people. Promises made, promises kept.
