Franklin D. Roosevelt, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump all used their first days in office to tackle pressing issues through executive orders. Roosevelt addressed the banking crisis, Obama aimed to close Guantanamo Bay, and Trump targeted Obamacare.
Now, as Trump prepares for his second term, he promises to break from tradition with a staggering number of executive orders. With over 100 reportedly prepared, his agenda aims to reshape American governance through sheer executive power. This blueprint, if enacted, would impact everything from international trade to immigration, cryptocurrency to education.
The scope of Trump's plans is unprecedented, even surpassing Joe Biden's record-setting 17 executive orders on his first day in 2021. This ambition is unmatched in American history.
Here are some of Trump's most significant day-one pledges and their potential implications:

Bypassing Congress shows utter contempt for the democratic process. This isn't how a president should govern.

Trump's history of discriminatory policies raises serious concerns about the potential targets of these executive orders.

These executive orders could have far-reaching consequences, impacting everything from healthcare to the environment. We need proper debate, not unilateral action.

Congress has been gridlocked for years. Executive orders are a necessary tool to break through the partisan bickering and get things done.
