Donald Trump is set to hit the ground running on his first day in office. He has a stack of executive actions ready to sign, aiming to enact significant policy changes right away. This includes plans to crack down on immigration, boost energy production, and impose new tariffs. While some promises may not be fulfilled immediately, Trump’s swift actions aim to set a strong tone for his presidency. Critics worry about the sheer scale and potential legal challenges. Supporters see it as a swift fulfillment of his campaign pledges.

Trump’s team has been preparing for this day for months. They've explored executive powers and consulted with experts to ensure a coordinated start. Key figures like Susie Wiles, the incoming White House chief of staff, and Senate leaders have been strategizing to make sure the new administration hits the ground running. Trump even indicated he'd sign some orders before the traditional inaugural lunch.

Immigration is a top priority. Trump plans to sign orders that could lead to immediate deportations and a shift in border policies. This includes reinstating programs like "Remain in Mexico" and "Asylum Cooperative Agreements. " Energy policies are also in for a major shakeup. Trump aims to reverse many changes made by the Biden administration, focusing on fossil fuel production and energy independence.

 Despite ambitious plans, not all campaign promises can be kept in a day. Ending the Russia-Ukraine war or revising the Constitution are beyond his immediate reach. Controversial moves like pardoning January 6 rioters and cutting school funding for vaccine mandates are also on the agenda. As Trump steps into the Oval Office, the world watches to see how his grand plans unfold.
