President-elect Donald Trump is set to reclaim the Oval Office on January 20, and it appears he’s not planning to ease into his term. Instead, he’s slated to roll out a flurry of executive orders on day one. For those who thought the Trump presidency was a thing of the past, they’re in for a wake-up call. The incoming administration plans to reverse numerous policies pushed by the Biden administration, resurrect some of Trump’s signature moves, and launch new initiatives to boot.
Stephen Miller, who is gearing up for his role as deputy chief of staff for policy, indicated that one of Trump’s top priorities will be to tackle illegal immigration head-on. The strategy involves an ambitious plan to deport illegal migrants faster than a school principal chasing down a teenage delinquent in the hallways. Miller hinted that the immediate objective is to “seal the border shut” while concurrently embarking on what could become the largest deportation initiative in U.S. history. Sounds like a scenario straight out of a political action movie, but for Trump, it’s all in a day’s work.

Axios has taken a stab at compiling the actions Trump hinted at during his recent speeches and interviews, which showcase an impressive list of proposed executive orders. Among the hot-ticket items are resolving that ongoing kerfuffle between Russia and Ukraine and, of course, closing the border—something that actually sounds refreshing to many Americans tired of porous immigration policies. And let’s not forget the heavy axe poised to fall on the federal funding for schools embracing Critical Race Theory and vaccine mandates, ensuring that students receive an education and not a political indoctrination.
Breitbart News also contributed some spicy insights by listing ten possible executive orders Trump could throw down on his first day. The buzz around those who want to keep the Washington swamp at bay is that there could be over 200 actions ready to roll within the first 100 days of Trump’s return. Democrats and the media may voice their complaints and try once again to brand him as a “lame duck,” questioning his ability to affect change. Yet history shows that, even with past congressional hurdles, Trump managed to push his agenda through when the political winds were in his favor.
The electoral landscape might appear different, but the potential impact of a Trump presidency once again could send shivers down the spines of the Democrat establishment. As the American public watches, the coming days promise significant shifts aimed at restoring a sense of order in various key areas of governance. Get ready, folks—politics are about to get electrifying once more.
