January 20th, 2025 is set as the day for Trump’s inauguration to take an oath into office. Donald Trump’s inauguration will happen outside of the U.S. Capitol building. Trump is planning to sign about one hundred executive orders on just day one of him being in office according to Jeff Mordock from The Washington Times.
Some of the main plans Trump has talked about are more border security and deportations, lowering inflation, and imposing tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China.
“We’re gonna do something with the border, very strong, very powerful. That will be our first signal, and the first signal to America that we’re not playing games,” Trump said during the NBC News interview with Kristen Welker. Trump promised that on his first day in office, he will run the largest domestic deportation in the history of America.
“One of my top priorities will be to quickly defeat inflation and make America affordable again. I will cut taxes, slash regulations, curb wasteful spending, and unleash energy production,” Trump said at the Detroit Economic Club in early October. In the interview, he also said, “It’ll all happen very quickly, this will rapidly drive prices down, lower interest rates, and put more money into the pockets of American consumers, it’ll also bring your grocery bill way down.” Trump’s theory and plan to lower American citizens’ groceries is to produce more energy and fuel for farmers so that farmers won’t pay as much for the energy they need to grow their crops.
Another major thing Trump is changing is raising tariffs. “We will protect those companies with strong tariffs because I am a believer in tariffs.” said Trump in an interview with John Micklethwait. Trump is raising tariffs on China by 60 percent, Mexico and Canada by 25 percent, and other countries by 10 percent. Trump thinks that raising tariffs on other countries will fix multiple things, like making more factory jobs, lower grocery prices, stop illegal drugs and immigrants from coming into the U.S., etc.
Some of the many other executive orders Trump is going to sign are: reinstating travel bans, getting rid of birthright citizenship, pardoning the individuals convicted of crimes associated with January 6th, 2021, which is over 1,500 people, and not allowing transgender people into sports. These orders are all planned to be signed on Trump’s inauguration day.
