One read: The 10 things Trump promised to do on his first day in office.

In the past few years, the elected President of the United States, Trump, made a lot of promises during the campaign, many of which were things to be done on the first day in office. As the inauguration ceremony is counting down, it is time to take stock and see if he will fulfill his promises. On the first day of Trump's first term, he only signed an executive order targeting Obama's healthcare reform, and now the world is watching his far-reaching policies. Mass Deportation of Immigrants Like in previous campaign events, Trump made immigration a core issue for the 2024 election, repeatedly vowing to deport illegal immigrants. On October 27 of last year, just a few days before the election, Trump reiterated at a rally in New York City, "On day one, I will launch the largest deportation plan in American history, kicking criminals out." According to federal government estimates, by 2022, the number of undocumented immigrants living in the United States is approaching 11 million, although the exact numbers are still unclear. Data from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency show that as of September of last year, less than 500,000 undocumented immigrants with criminal backgrounds are known. When asked about the cost of mass deportation of immigrants, Trump replied that it was not a matter of price at all. He is prepared to declare a national emergency and use the military to implement the deportation plan. Due to Trump's promise to crack down on mass illegal immigration, some investors believe this spells big business for private prisons. Since Trump announced his victory, the concept stock Geo has risen by 140%. End Birthright Citizenship Anyone born in the United States automatically acquires U.S. citizenship, a right provided for in the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. However, Trump hopes to change this policy, which would be a very complex process operationally and would almost certainly trigger a series of legal battles. He promised in December last year to end birthright citizenship on his first day in office, although this plan faces huge challenges both legally and practically. Ending Border Policies of the Biden Era Trump strongly opposes Biden's immigration policies, vowing to "terminate all open border policies of the Biden administration" on his first day in office. He stated at a rally in New Hampshire in October 2023 that he would "make use of Article 42," allowing the White House to expedite deportations. While the Biden administration continued to enforce this law at the beginning of their term due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, they ceased using it in 2023. Pardoning Capitol Hill Incident Defendants Trump has repeatedly stated that he will quickly pardon those convicted of violent crimes during the January 6, 2021 storming of the U.S. Capitol building. At a press conference in January, Trump was asked if he intended to pardon the defendants accused of violent crimes on January 6. Trump said, "We are considering it," and added that he plans to make "significant pardons." In the investigation of this case, more than 1,580 defendants were charged, with over 1,270 convicted of charges ranging from unlawful assembly to incitement to conspiracy. Over 700 defendants either did not receive prison sentences or have already served their sentences. Ending the Ukraine Conflict One of Trump's boldest promises is that he can end the Russia-Ukraine conflict within 24 hours of taking office, or even sooner. He recently announced that he will "soon" meet with Russian President Putin after taking office to discuss how to end the Ukraine conflict. However, two of Trump's advisors admitted that they believe the Russia-Ukraine war will take months or even longer to resolve. They acknowledged that Trump's previous "solving the problem on day one" promise was just campaign rhetoric, and they believed that the Trump team may have lacked an understanding of the complexities of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the time needed to form a new government. Tariff Increases A few weeks after being elected, Trump promised to sign an executive order imposing a 25% tariff on products imported from Mexico and Canada, the two largest trading partners of the U.S. "On January 20, as one of my first batch of executive orders, I will sign all necessary documents to impose a 25% tariff on all products entering the U.S. from Mexico and Canada." However, the largest business lobbying group in the U.S., the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, warned that Trump's proposed broad tariffs could disrupt U.S. economic growth and harm the U.S. itself. Economists warn that consumers could be the first to be affected by comprehensive tariffs, which could lead to price increases and a resurgence of inflation. Ending Mandatory Regulations on Electric Vehicles In 2021, Biden signed an order setting a national goal that by 2030, 50% of new cars and trucks would achieve net zero emissions. In addition, federal and local governments have implemented emissions restrictions in hopes of achieving this goal. Trump called these policies "mandates on electric vehicles" and stated that he would repeal this series of mandates. "On my first day in office, I will repeal Biden's mandate on electric vehicles." Increasing Oil Drilling The energy sector is one of Trump's most mentioned promises, repeatedly emphasizing "drilling, drilling, and drilling again." Trump often claims that increasing U.S. oil production will significantly lower energy costs. He has nominated oil tycoon Chris Wright as Secretary of Energy and stated that he will establish a National Energy Commission to promote U.S. energy production. U.S. Auto Industry At a rally in September of last year, Trump stated, "A vote for Trump means the future of cars will be made in America." He predicted that the automotive industry will be "powered by American energy," "sourced by American suppliers," and "manufactured by American workers." He added, "All of this will happen, and we will do it. We will start on day one." Banning Transgender Individuals from Participating in Women's Sports Trump repeatedly refers to transgender women as men and promised to ensure that transgender women cannot participate in women's sports. In a speech in October 2023, he stated, "I will 100% ensure that males are excluded from women's sports, starting immediately on day one."
