What President Trump Might Do on Day One of His AdministrationWith Donald Trump now officially the President-elect of the United States, many are wondering what actions he will take as he begins his new term. While it’s impossible to predict the full scope of his four-year presidency, his campaign and public statements offer strong clues about his immediate priorities. Here are eight executive actions President Trump is likely to take on his first day in office.

1. Immigration Policies

Border Crisis:

Trump plans to issue executive orders addressing the border crisis, including reinstating the "Remain in Mexico" policy.

Mass deportations of illegal migrants are expected to begin, targeting criminal networks such as MS-13.

Tom Homan, former director of ICE, has been appointed as "Border Czar" to oversee deportations.

Invoking the Alien Enemies Act:

Trump may invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport individuals from countries posing a national security threat.

Critics highlight the logistical and financial challenges of deporting millions of illegal migrants.

2. Energy Independence and Environmental Deregulation

Trump has pledged to increase domestic oil and gas production with a "Drill, Baby, Drill" agenda.

Possible actions include:

Opening the Arctic Wilderness to drilling.

Rolling back Biden-era environmental protections and green energy mandates.

Halting windmill projects and scaling back electric vehicle production targets.

Leadership Change at the EPA:

Lee Zeldin has been appointed as EPA administrator to spearhead deregulation while maintaining high environmental standards.

3. Withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accords

Trump is likely to pull the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Accords, which President Biden rejoined on his first day in office.

4. Tariffs on Foreign Goods

Trump plans to impose tariffs on goods from countries like China and Mexico to:

Protect American manufacturing jobs.

Shrink the federal deficit.

Enhance national security.

Possible tariff rates:

10% across-the-board tariffs on imports.

25% on goods from Mexico.

60% on goods from China.

Trump could bypass Congress by citing Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, allowing tariff adjustments for national security.

5. Pardons for January 6 Detainees

Trump has indicated he may pardon individuals convicted in connection with the January 6 Capitol events.

He also plans to instruct the Attorney General to drop ongoing federal prosecutions for those not yet convicted.

6. Dismissal of Jack Smith

Trump has expressed his intent to fire special counsel Jack Smith, who is investigating him in two major cases:

The classified documents case.

The January 6 case.

While Smith is not a presidential appointee, Trump could order his Justice Department to remove him.

7. Restructuring the Administrative State

Schedule F:

Trump plans to reinstate his 2020 executive order, allowing the president to reclassify career bureaucrats as political appointees, making them easier to replace.

This change could affect up to 50,000 federal employees.

Department of Government Efficiency:

Led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, this new department will advise the White House on structural reforms and government efficiency.

8. Reversing Biden’s Executive Orders

Trump aims to undo many of President Biden’s executive actions, including those related to:

The Keystone XL Pipeline.

Mask mandates on federal property.

Green energy policies.

Trump’s transition team has stated there will be "tens of executive orders" in the first week alone.

Additional Notes

Trump’s proposed actions reflect a clear focus on reversing Biden-era policies and advancing "America First" priorities.

While some actions, like tariffs and pardons, could face legal challenges or require Congressional approval, Trump has shown a willingness to work around these hurdles.
