Trump Expected to Sign More Than 200 Executive Actions on First Day in Office
“This is about stopping corrupt, abusive behavior and re-focusing the government on its fundamental duties to the American people.”
The Trump transition team has been extremely busy over the past few months preparing a blitz of executive actions for President-elect Donald Trump to take on his first day in office. A senior administration official told Fox News on Sunday that Trump plans to sign over 200 executive actions after his inauguration ceremony and address, of which 50 will be executive orders.
A glimpse at the partial list of expected Day One executive actions below reveals that most focus on reversing the reckless policies of the Biden administration, which is the first step toward taking our country back.
The official explained, “The president is issuing a historic series of executive orders and actions that will fundamentally reform the American government, including the complete and total restoration of American sovereignty.”
According to the official, Trump will:
- Declare a national border emergency.
- Direct the U.S. military to work with the Department of Homeland Security to fully secure the southern border and establish a national priority to eliminate all criminal cartels operating on U.S. soil.
- Close the border to all illegal aliens via proclamation.
- Create task forces for the protection of homeland security with officers from the FBI, ICE, CEA, and other agencies to fully eradicate the presence of criminal cartels.
- Direct designations of cartels as foreign terrorist organizations (which the official said will unlock new authorities to achieve the Trump homeland security mission).
- Re-institute “Remain in Mexico” and direct the military to construct a new area of border wall.
- Fully unleash Alaskan energy, which the official described as essential to U.S. national security.
- Reestablish presidential control over the career federal workforce.
- Strengthen presidential control over senior government officials and implement a new merit-based hiring review.
- Take action to return federal workers to in-person work.
- End the “weaponization of the federal government.”
- Restore freedom of speech.
- End federal censorship.
- Establish biological sex definitions.
- Rename the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America.
- End all Diversity Equity and Inclusion programs across the federal government.
- Gain control over foreign aid and NGO funding.
- Put government offshore-wind leases on hold.
- End the Biden administration’s electric-vehicle mandates for auto manufacturers.
- Withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord.
Trump also plans to suspend the security clearances of the 51 former intelligence officials who signed a letter in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election that claimed the Hunter Biden laptop story bore all the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign, as per the report. They so richly deserve it.
Per Trump/DC sources, Trump’s Day One Agenda taking shape via a blitz of at least 100 exec orders wiping out Biden’s actions and the Biden era –
*Begin mass deportations
*End birthright citizenship
*Stop Biden’s CBP One App
*Stop Biden’s air flights of illegals into US interior… pic.twitter.com/LulQ59jXUK— Elizabeth MacDonald (@LizMacDonaldFOX) January 18, 2025
Some of the orders are reported to address issues related to transgender rights.

For @TheFP, @EmilyYoffe reports that these executive orders include:
The Executive Order establishes Government-wide the biological reality of two sexes and clearly defines male and female.

The official told Fox “the energy executive order deals with ‘every single energy policy,’ and addresses liquid natural gas, ports, fracking, pipelines, permitting and more, while also terminating President Biden polices he said ‘have constrained U.S. energy supply.'”
Monday’s actions are only the beginning, according to the official. “Even after this, there is a whole host in the queue to continue the restoration of America. … He [Trump] is reasserting muscular control of the Executive Branch of the U.S. government.”
“Everything” voters voted for “is being translated into executive policy.”
He continued, “There is a massive federal workforce that has been moving its objectives at expense of the American people–and President Trump is taking command, saying you will serve the American people and only American people. This is about stopping corrupt, abusive behavior and re-focusing the government on its fundamental duties to the American people.”
Speaking to supporters at a candlelight dinner on Sunday evening, Trump remarked,
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "With a stroke of my pen, I will revoke dozens of destructive and radical executive orders and actions of the Biden administration — and by this time tomorrow, they will all be NULL AND VOID." pic.twitter.com/qH3n4Mpp96

Better hurry up. There’s less than five hours (it’s 7:30) remaining for the Biden handlers to cause damage.

My cousin’s son is a crane operator that was working on the Keystone pipeline 4 years ago. He has been building houses for the past 4 years making a third of what he did as a crane operator. He left South Carolina last Wednesday to get to the pipeline and start work on it later this week.
Good for him. But we still have to get over the hurdle that pipeline execs are going to be wary of embarking on ten-year projects with potential politically cancellation dates of 4 and 8 years,

Why not suspend Joe Biden's security clearances as well. Along with any clearances that Kamala Harris might have been given. And Merrick Garland's security clearance. And the security clearance of Lloyd Austin. And any security clearances for the plethora of White House staffers that might have been granted such. If they no longer work in a federal government position they no longer need to have any security clearance and it should be revoked.
“Biden already handed out all the pardons. He didn’t leave me anything to hand out but the pain.”
My schedule for tomorrow is fully booked. It starts at 8:45 a.m. Eastern, when I shall make the first batch of popcorn. I will then cover my favorite recliner in a washable beer-absorbing blanket, and carefully arrange my ice bucket of beer beside the chair.
At 9 a.m. I will turn on CNN, open the first of many beers, and spend the rest of the newsday laughing at the bitter, but oh-so-salty tears of the Left as the Executive Orders are announced one by one. It’s gonna be GREAT!
Yes, friends, and YES
enemiesDemocrats, by the power invested in me as an American Voter, I declare 21 January 2025 a day of nation schadenfreude!#47 and his Administration must keep an eagle eye laser-focused on Dhimmi-crat apparatchik subversives/saboteurs and other Deep State/Swamp members who are embedded throughout federal departments, agencies and bureaucracies, and, who will do their utmost to subvert, thwart and sabotage #47’s agenda and the will of the American people who re-elected him.
But will DJT rename “pudding cups”? Biden cups from here on in!
I envision a new line of homecare hygiene products dubbed Bidenaps.
I’m hoping there will be a lot of legislative backup for these executive orders. Otherwise, they could be revoked by a subsequent Democrat.
President Trump shouldn’t restrain himself so much. He should just tell us straight out what he thinks of the previous administration.
