The world is watching Donald Trump closely as he takes the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States on Monday, January 20 in Washington, DC. He made a number of campaign pledges, some of which he has promised to fulfill on his first day in office.
It is a stunning list of promises, even though it is unlikely that the Republican will be able to fulfill them all on his first day in office. Donald Trump is likely to use an executive order to carry out some of his promises. For others, he will require the assistance of Congress in addition to pursuing constitutional amendment
List of pledges made by Donald Trump throughout the campaign that he plans to keep on his first day in office.
Immigration: Trump pledged to start the biggest deportation campaign in US history in order to expel all illegal immigrants. He also pledged to stop illegal immigration and close the border.
Birthright Citizenship: He also declared that he would abolish birthright citizenship, which is granted automatically to all people born in the United States. When children of illegal immigrants are born in this country, they are granted citizenship.
Pardons: Trump plans to grant pardons to some or a large number of people who were accused or found guilty in the rioting at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. With an executive order, he can accomplish this.
Tariff: Given that Trump has stated that he would apply a 25% tax to all imports from Canada and Mexico, the tariff war may be extended. In addition, he wants to raise the taxes already placed on Chinese imports by 10%. Once more, he could use an executive order to accomplish this.
NATO: The incoming US president has repeatedly stated that he will put an end to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Now, this is a far more complex matter that will require much more than just an executive order. However, Trump might be the final straw for Ukraine’s aspirations to join NATO.
Pipelines, Refineries: In order to encourage the approval of additional drilling, pipelines, refineries, power plants, and reactors, Trump has also stated that he will declare a national energy emergency.
Fed Money: According to Trump, schools that force “critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content onto the shoulders of our children” will no longer get government funding. Additionally, he declared that he will stop funding any schools that enforce mask or vaccine requirements.
“Deep State”: He pledged to take action to overthrow the “deep state” on the first day. An executive order to categorize tens of thousands of apolitical and job-protected federal officials as political appointees, who might be removed at any time, is probably the first step. He would accomplish this by bringing back his 2020 Schedule F order, which Biden revoked upon becoming office.
