Donald Trump vows to sign over 200 executive orders on his first day in office, targeting immigration, environmental regulations, and diversity programs. During a rally in Washington, D.C., he outlined plans to repeal Biden-era policies, introduce the Department of Government Efficiency, and prioritize issues resonating with his supporters.
As Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House, he has announced plans to implement a wide range of executive actions on his first day in office. During a "Victory Rally" in Washington, D.C., he promised swift action, stating that he would move with "historic speed and strength" after taking the oath of office.
Trump, addressing a crowded arena, previewed his next four years as president while celebrating his victory over the Democrats in November’s election. He stated that his administration would take unilateral action on several fronts, including mass deportations, rolling back environmental regulations, and eliminating diversity programs.
The president-elect revealed that he would sign more than 200 executive orders, including legally binding orders and other presidential directives. He vowed to repeal every "radical" executive order from the Biden administration within hours of his swearing-in.
Trump also outlined plans for several new initiatives, such as ramping up artificial intelligence programs, creating the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and releasing classified records related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He further announced that his administration would push for the creation of a missile defense shield and halt transgender women from competing in female sports.
The incoming president emphasized that his executive orders would focus on issues like illegal immigration, which had been central to his campaign, though experts suggest that his promises could face significant logistical challenges.
