President-elect Donald Trump will mark the first day of his second term, or what he calls “freedom,” on January 6, with a promise of possible pardons for prisoners and major executive orders on immigration and energy. The project is set to start in earnest on the day of the event.
He is scheduled to take the oath of office at noon on January 20th from the inaugural podium on the west front of the U.S. Capitol. Once he becomes president, he can begin enacting executive orders to establish significant changes in executive branch policy.
President Trump appears ready to keep his promise, having acknowledged it in front of a packed audience at Turning Point USA's America Fest in December.
“You know, I made a series of big promises on the first day of my campaign, and you know them as well as I do, and 29 days from now, I made a series of big promises to the American people. We're going to protect it,” President Trump said to cheers.
He said his administration “will probably be fully operational by about 2 p.m. on the 20th.”
Amnesty on January 6th
One of President Trump's major campaign promises was to pardon many prisoners involved in the January 6, 2021 riot at the US Capitol. President Trump said ahead of the Republican primary that he intends to pardon “many” prisoners if elected.
“I can't say about all of them because some of them may have gotten out of control,” he said at a CNN town hall at the time.
And although this comment was made before the start of the Republican presidential primaries, Mr. Trump announced that once he becomes president-elect, he plans to not only pardon prisoners on January 6, but to do so from day one. Further strengthened.
While speaking with NBC News meet the press In December, President Trump said he would act “very quickly” regarding prisoners of war.
“Yes, we're looking for it on day one. These people have been there for — how long? — three or four years. By the way, they've been there for years, in a filthy, disgusting place. , should not even be allowed to open,” he said.
Mass deportations and border closures
One of the central issues of Trump's campaign was the border and illegal immigration, following an unprecedented influx of illegal immigrants into the United States under the Biden-Harris administration.
In a speech in Phoenix last month, President Trump vowed to launch a mass deportation operation and “close” the border after taking office.
“On my first day back in the Oval Office, I signed a historic executive order closing our borders to illegal aliens and deterring invasion of our country, and on the same day I signed a historic executive order closing our borders to illegal aliens and deterring invasion of our country. We're going to start a repatriation operation.'It's history,' he said.
This effort would not be unprecedented. The late President Dwight D. Eisenhower conducted mass deportations of approximately 1.2 million illegal immigrants in the 1950s.
Deporting millions of foreign nationals is clearly a challenge that will extend far beyond the administration's first day, and a new Republican-led Congress will provide President Trump with the tools he needs for a long-term effort. Looks like they're ready.

Unleash your energy production
President Trump achieved energy independence in his first term and plans to tackle energy issues immediately after taking office “to save the economy.”
At America Fest, President Trump vowed on the first day to “repeat all of Biden's restrictions on energy production.”
He said he would end Biden's radical electric vehicle mandate, “rescind the natural gas export ban, reopen ANWR in Alaska, potentially the world's largest hub, and declare a national energy emergency.” ” he added.
It is worth noting that President Trump nominated Governor Doug Burgum (R-North Dakota) to lead the Interior Department and oil industry executive Chris Wright to head the Department of Energy. The two departments will likely work very closely together, as President Trump said last month that he has essentially “merged the two.”
Ending of “Transgender Lunacy”
President Trump also vowed to “stop transgender insanity” with an order in Phoenix on his first day in office.
“And I will sign an executive order to end child sexual mutilation and ban transgender people from the military and from elementary, middle and high schools,” he added, to thunderous applause.
The president-elect also pledged to sign an order banning men from participating in women's athletics on his first day in office.
