Comments on the "bullet points" of things that Donald Trump needs to do in the first 24 hours after entering the White House

Based on his campaign promises, on his first day as US President, Donald Trump is expected to use executive power to implement major policy changes without congressional approval, focusing on key areas such as immigration, energy, foreign policy and equal rights protections.

Clear the crime and pay back "grudges"

Previously, Mr. Trump has repeatedly affirmed that he will not abuse his power for revenge or act arbitrarily when returning to the White House, but “except on the first day.”

One of the first actions Mr. Trump takes on his first day could be to absolve himself of the charges he has been accused of since his first term and pay back those who pushed for the lawsuits against him.

First on the list could be Special Counsel Jack Smith, who has filed a federal lawsuit against Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump once told listeners of “The Hugh Hewitt Show”: “I would fire him (Jack Smith) in two seconds. He would be one of the first problems to go.”

Mr. Jack Smith is the Special Prosecutor leading the cases against Mr. Trump related to the interference in the 2020 election. The 45th President of the United States has also said that he will make the prosecutors and judges pay for conducting criminal trials against him.

In addition, Mr. Trump could also pardon “Make America Great Again” supporters who he believes were “wrongfully convicted” for their involvement in the January 6, 2021, riot at Capitol Hill. So far, 1,530 people have been arrested and charged in connection with the incident, with more than half of them pleading guilty.

On his personal Truth Social platform, Mr. Trump wrote: "I may pardon many of them. I can't talk about individual cases, because some of them may have gotten out of control."

Immigration control

Mr. Trump has pledged to implement a series of strict measures to control immigration, including launching the largest deportation program in history, targeting illegal immigrants, especially those with criminal records.

The program requires coordination with local police departments and multiple federal agencies, but is likely to face resistance from some local governments that disagree with the policy. It also comes at a huge cost, estimated at $315 billion to deport about 13 million people.

Mr Trump is expected to sign an executive order to block automatic citizenship for children of illegal immigrants, but this will face legal challenges in the courts.

In addition, the US President-elect also plans to restore the border wall construction project that was suspended under the Joe Biden administration and restart the "Remain in Mexico" policy, forcing asylum seekers to wait in Mexico until their proceedings in US courts are completed.

Reversing environmental policy

Mr. Trump has repeatedly vowed to reverse environmental regulations that he says hamper the economy and limit American energy production.

The new administration is likely to take actions that include boosting oil and gas drilling to increase oil production and reversing restrictions imposed by the Biden administration. At the same time, the new administration is likely to withdraw regulations that force automakers to meet emissions standards to encourage the production of electric vehicles.

Mr. Trump has vowed to cancel clean energy projects, including pledging to stop wind power projects, an important clean energy source being developed under the Biden administration.

The president-elect also said he would kill the Green New Deal proposed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey. In September, at the Economic Club of New York, Mr. Trump said: “To continue to kill inflation, my plan is to end the Green New Deal… I will write it down as an executive order and it will end on day one!”

These moves could have a negative impact on efforts to combat climate change. In addition, the new administration could withdraw the US from the Paris Agreement, repeating a decision made during its first term. If that happens, the US will reject international commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, significantly affecting global efforts to combat climate change.

Foreign policy that prioritizes US interests

Having declared that he would pursue a foreign policy that prioritizes US interests, Mr. Trump will quickly make new foreign policy decisions, including ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict, although he has not provided specific details on how to do so.

This is worrying for Western countries supporting Kiev because the Trump administration may demand a peace deal with many benefits for Russia to accept.

Regarding his commitment to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Mr. Trump has raised concerns when he said he would not protect allies if they did not contribute enough defense costs. The US Congress has passed a law preventing the president from withdrawing the US from NATO without the approval of the Senate or both houses of Congress.

Gender policy

Mr. Trump has repeatedly pledged to reverse transgender protections and gender equality policies enacted by the Biden administration. Specific measures include:

One is to roll back protections for transgender students, including repealing protections for transgender students that the Biden administration enacted under Title IX, which gives transgender students protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Second, he would repeal the Biden administration's executive order on equality (which requires the application of equality principles in government agencies), and instead, Mr. Trump would restore the ban on promoting racist or gender-based concepts.

Third, halt federal funding for schools that require vaccinations. While initially aimed at Covid-19 vaccines, public health experts worry that this could impact other vaccines.

These changes, if implemented, would have profound implications for American society and its relations with the international community.
