President-elect Donald Trump has some big plans for his first day in office. He’s promised to dive right into action, tackling issues from immigration to energy policies. But how realistic are these promises, and what do they really mean for America?
First up, Trump wants to carry out the largest mass deportation in U.S. history. He’s made it clear that he doesn’t mind spending big bucks to get it done. But experts warn it could lead to serious economic fallout, especially since migrant workers are key to many industries.
Another bold move? Ending birthright citizenship. This would deny U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants their citizenship—a promise that could face tough legal battles.
Trump also plans to reverse President Biden’s climate policies with an executive order and ramp up oil and gas drilling. But these changes can’t happen overnight, as they need a lengthy process of approval.
On transgender rights, Trump is set to cut funding to schools that teach what he calls “transgender insanity” and ban trans women from women’s sports. This promise is controversial and has drawn criticism from many LGBTQ groups.
Lastly, Trump has said he will pardon Jan. 6 rioters, calling them “patriots” who were treated unfairly. He’s even hinted at pardoning those who assaulted police officers during the insurrection.
While these ideas sound bold, they may not be as easy to implement as they sound. Trump’s first day in office promises to be a game-changer—but will it be for better or worse? Only time will tell!
