Trump’s second term begins Monday, with nearly 60 day-one promises and up to 100 executive orders expected. Senator John Barrasso predicts a “blizzard” of orders to “shock and awe.”
Immigration and the ‘Muslim Ban’
Trump plans to launch “the largest deportation programme of criminals in American history” and reinstate the 2017 “Muslim ban.” This includes restricting refugee resettlement from areas like Gaza and sealing the border.
Restricting Citizenship
He plans to issue an order preventing children of undocumented immigrants from receiving automatic citizenship. This challenges the Fourteenth Amendment.
Ending the Russia-Ukraine War
Trump claims he can end the Ukraine war within 24 hours by pressuring Ukrainian President Zelenskyy into concessions. He plans to meet Vladimir Putin shortly after taking office.
Economic Tariffs
Trump will impose steep tariffs on Chinese goods and other countries if they fail to address border issues. Economists warn this could spark trade wars.

Pardoning January 6 Defendants
He pledged to pardon Capitol riot participants, calling them “political prisoners.” However, exceptions may apply for non-peaceful protesters.
Rolling Back Regulations
Trump promises to cut “every single burdensome regulation” and repeal Biden’s offshore drilling bans and electric vehicle mandates.
Culture War Policies
Trump plans to ban transgender women from women’s sports and end gender-affirming care for minors. This means schools promoting critical race theory or “transgender insanity” could lose federal funding.
Afghanistan Accountability
Trump vows to demand resignations from officials involved in the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, blaming them for the chaos.
Trump’s ambitious, yet controversial, day-one agenda is designed to leave an immediate impact. However, the feasibility and consequences of these sweeping promises remain uncertain.
