President-elect Donald Trump is preparing to hit the ground running with a stack of executive orders that could have Washington spinning by the end of his first day in office. From border security to free speech and fighting the “deep state,” Trump isn’t wasting any time outlining his “America First” priorities for his second term. And judging by his campaign trail promises, January 20, 2025, is shaping up to be anything but a typical Inauguration Day.
With a sense of humor only Trump could deliver, he joked to a crowd in Iowa that he might even put a “very tiny little desk on the 20th stair” at the Capitol to start signing these orders immediately after taking the Oath of Office. But make no mistake; Trump’s plan is no laughing matter. From border security to dismantling the DC bureaucracy, he’s serious about reversing the policies of the Biden-Harris administration and restoring American strength.
One of his top priorities is clear: border security. Trump promised that closing the border would be “done in the first hour of the first day,” as he reiterated at rally after rally. This commitment includes launching the “largest deportation program” in American history, ensuring that every city and town feels the impact. He said he’s ready to “rescue every city and town that has been invaded” and intends to put criminals “in jail where they belong.”
But Trump isn’t stopping at immigration. His plans to strengthen the economy include unleashing American energy production through fracking and drilling, breaking Biden’s electric car mandates, and targeting inflation directly. “We’re going to frack, frack, frack, and drill, baby, drill,” he announced in Pennsylvania, a stark contrast to the green policies that have driven energy prices sky-high under the current administration. On the same day, he pledged to remove “every single burdensome regulation” that drives up the cost of everyday goods, starting with an executive order aimed at slashing red tape across federal agencies.
On cultural issues, Trump made it clear that education reform is front and center. He announced plans to halt federal funding for any school promoting Critical Race Theory or “transgender insanity,” as he put it. Trump’s stance is straightforward: taxpayers should not be funding curricula that push divisive racial and gender theories on our children. He’s also taking aim at Biden’s support for “gender-affirming care” with a promise to revoke those policies “on day one.” Under Trump’s direction, the Department of Education would ensure that schools stop pushing “gender confusion” onto young children, something that has become a major concern for parents across America.
And then there’s Trump’s promise to end the “deep state” influence that has plagued DC for decades. In a video from earlier this year, Trump laid out a plan to reissue his 2020 executive order to clean house in Washington by removing “rogue bureaucrats.” His proposal would give the president authority to “remove corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus,” setting up a new “Schedule F” to clear out bureaucrats with policymaking power who work against the will of the American people.
Trump’s vision for 2025 is bold and ambitious, and his return to the Oval Office is a promise to every American who’s had enough of failed left-wing policies. While the Democrats continue to flounder over identity politics and climate fantasies, Trump is ready to restore order, protect freedoms, and get America back on track.
