President Donald Trump – what will he do on day one? All the executive orders to undo Joe Biden.
In less than 24 hours, they will swear Donald J. Trump in as the 47th President of the United States. I’m as excited as a kid on Christmas morning.
Typically, I wouldn’t support signing a flurry of executive orders on an ordinary day. However, with Donald Trump’s incoming administration, I believe it’s necessary to reverse the damage caused by Joe Biden’s policies as quickly as possible.
This blog post will briefly touch on some of the day-one Executive Orders Trump plans to sign.
Donald Trump’s first term started with a single executive order to gut Obamacare. It sent the left into a meltdown. Tomorrow, he will sign 100 executive orders. He’s making it clear he’s here to reverse the wreckage left by Biden, not to play nice.
But as Trump prepares to return to the White House for round two, he’s promising to tear up the traditional presidential playbook entirely. With more than 100 executive orders reportedly prepared, his agenda represents a new attempt to reshape American governance through sheer executive will. It’s a blueprint that, if enacted, would touch everything from international trade to immigration, from cryptocurrency to classroom curriculums. – The Guardian
The man did joke that he’d rule like a dictator—but only on day one. Relax, people, it’s a joke, and you know the other side would do the exact same thing if given the chance. That said, maybe it’s time for the legislative branch to step up and set some limits on executive orders. This administration could even lead the way, ensuring safeguards are in place when the Democrats inevitably regain power.
The Issues
One key issue I’ll be monitoring closely is mass deportations. Tom Homan talks a big game about making them happen, but I’ll believe it when I see it. Something about his constant media appearances and bold claims, without offering much detail on the “how,” leaves me skeptical.
Mass deportation program
Trump has vowed to launch “the largest deportation program in American history” immediately upon taking office. The scope is staggering: with an estimated 11 million undocumented migrants and aslyum seekers in the US, including roughly 500,000 with criminal records, this would dwarf the Obama administration’s record of 430,000 annual deportations in 2013.In the near term, Trump is expected to dismantle legal protections for asylum-seeking migrants and revoke humanitarian deportation safeguards for millions, including those from Haiti and Sudan, as they expire.
Additionally, he plans to reverse a policy that prioritized the deportation of serious criminals, rather than long-term undocumented immigrants with clean records.
Border emergency declaration
Beyond deportations, Trump plans to declare a national emergency at the border. He explained at a New Hampshire campaign event in October that he could look to do that by “using title 42”, which would essentially trigger public health emergency powers similar to ones used during Covid to boot or ban migrants from entering or staying in the country.This approach faces a significant hurdle: only the CDC, not the president, can declare such emergencies.- The Guardian
I’m not sure how all of this will play out—probably messy, and the media will undoubtedly have a field day with it—but frankly, I don’t care. If they crossed the border illegally, they should be sent back.
Another executive order I want to see on day one is a blanket pardon for every single person targeted by the Democrats over January 6—even the ones who caused damage. It’s been four years, and they’ve already paid the price. These Americans should be freed from their political imprisonment and allowed to walk free on day one of the Trump administration. Frankly, this should be the very first Order he signs, sending a clear message that the witch hunt ends now.
Next, do we really need the Department of Education or federal funding for these so-called public schools? Let me be clear: if these schools are relying on federal funding, they’re no longer truly public. They should be called government schools—and that needs to end, especially with all this critical race theory being shoved down kids’ throats. It’s time to stop the madness and get back to the basics—reading, writing, and arithmetic.
More On TikTok
This next Order has TikTok restoring its services to Americans before it’s even signed. I’ve always been opposed to TikTok but I may be changing my mind now.
Donald Trump has pledged to use an executive order to save TikTok, aligning himself with RFK Jr., who has consistently opposed banning the platform.

Some are concerned the Chinese have access to personal information. As if our own government isn’t already involved. This platform is no different from others when it comes to curating content. It doesn’t have to be all garbage. If you manage who you follow and what appears in your feed, you can filter out the noise.
Other Issues
Other key issues of concern include draining the swamp, which means tackling corruption and cronyism at the highest levels. Then there’s this absurd electric car mandate—pushing an agenda that isn’t even grounded in practicality or reality. We also need to end the rampant money laundering in Ukraine, which has been a black hole for taxpayer dollars. And let’s not forget the dangerous rise of the trans ideology—it’s time to put a stop to this cult-like agenda that’s wreaking havoc on society and our children.
This second round of Donald Trump’s presidency will be especially intriguing, as I’ll closely follow his wife, Melania Trump, as the First Lady. I’ve even dedicated an entire podcast to exploring her role and what she’ll be up to over the next four years. You can catch up with previous episodes here:
Tomorrow, Monday, January 21, 2025, I will glue myself to the television to watch Inauguration Day and see Donald J. Trump swear that he will Make America Great Again.
