Trump Pledges a ‘Historic’ First Day with a Surge of Executive Orders

[Social Media]

 

Donald Trump has promised a "historic" return to the White House, vowing to act with unprecedented speed and power on his first day back in office. Addressing thousands of jubilant supporters at a victory rally in Washington, he pledged a flurry of executive actions targeting illegal immigration, transgender rights, and other right-wing priorities.

 

"We won, we won," Trump proclaimed on Sunday, returning triumphantly to Washington for the first time since his 2021 departure. "What a good feeling. We like winning, don’t we, eh? We’re going to make our country greater than ever before."

 

In his characteristic style, Trump’s speech was a mix of self-praise, questionable claims, and grand promises. Setting the tone for his upcoming inauguration, he declared, "Starting tomorrow, I will act with historic speed and strength to fix every single crisis facing our country."

 

Trump specifically targeted the Biden administration, promising to repeal "every radical, foolish executive order" within hours of taking office. "You’re gonna have a lot of fun watching television," he told the crowd. "Somebody said yesterday, don’t sign so many in one day, let’s do it over a period of weeks. I said, like hell ... no, we’re doing them tomorrow."

 

Illegal immigration was at the forefront of Trump's agenda. He painted a grim picture of the U.S. as besieged by violent criminals, showing a video of crimes allegedly committed by undocumented individuals. "By the time the sun sets tomorrow, the invasion of our country will have come to a halt," he declared, promising the "most aggressive, sweeping effort to restore our borders that the world has ever seen."

 

Trump reiterated his campaign promise to launch the largest deportation effort in U.S. history, a mammoth operation likely to be costly and take years to implement.

 

Sunday's rally marked Trump's first major address in Washington since his controversial speech on January 6, 2021, which preceded the Capitol riot. He mentioned his intent to pardon many involved in the incident, referring to them as "hostages." "Tomorrow everybody in this very large arena will be very happy with my decision on the J6 hostages," he said, promising satisfaction for his supporters.

 

The rally, held at the Capital One Arena, was a spectacle unlike any pre-inauguration event. Thousands of attendees braved the cold, snowy weather, wearing slogans like "Make America Great Again" and "Proud J6er." Trump descended a staircase to Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA," greeted by chants of "USA! USA!"

 

From a stage adorned with sports pennants, Trump promised a new era. "Tomorrow at noon, the curtain closes on four long years of American decline and we begin a brand new day of American strength and prosperity, dignity and pride."

 

He took credit for the release of hostages from Gaza and the return of TikTok to U.S. consumers, despite losing the youth vote to Kamala Harris. Trump announced plans for an "iron dome" missile defense system and vowed to remove "radical woke ideologies" from the military, playing a video juxtaposing scenes from *Full Metal Jacket* with clips of transgender individuals linked to the previous administration.

 

Amid applause, Trump promised to eradicate critical race theory and transgender policies from schools, asserting, "This will be done tomorrow. We will keep men out of women’s sports."

 

He also announced plans to visit Los Angeles to assess wildfire damage and pledged to release classified documents related to historical assassinations.

 

Elon Musk, who contributed significantly to Trump's campaign, joined him on stage, echoing the need for change and promising to help strengthen America for the future. The rally concluded with a performance by the Village People, as Trump danced to "YMCA," a familiar closing act for his campaign events.

Good job president Trump.

Watching that video which accompanied the OP, sanity is not exactly what springs to mind!

[newnative]

John F. Kennedy Inaugural speech:  "Ask not what your country can do for you.  Ask what you can do for your country."

Donald Trump Inaugural speech:  "Drill, baby, drill."

 

The worst president in US history just gave the worst Inaugural Address in US history, lazily digging out his tired and stale campaign speech from his back pocket.  

 

 

[Chomper Higgot]

Watched the inauguration speech, he doesn’t sound at all well.

[JonnyF]

A great day for America.

 

A great day for the world.

 

A great day for Democracy.

[spidermike007]

Did anyone notice the row of billionaires taking a knee for the new king of America? And he claims he represents the people. That is a funny one.

He isn't. He is at least semi senile, semi insane and suffering major cognitive decline. He is way too old to be president.

Good.

He's just pardoned the Jan 6 protestors.

He's got off to a great start. I expect the liberals/ Dems are planning to sabotage him, so I hope they don't win, like first time around.

Hopefully all they get to do is rant and cry a lot about how unfair life is.

Of course he has, he needs to send a message ‘break the law for Trump, attempt to overthrow an election for Trump and Trump will look after you’.

He has pardoned non violent protesters.   I presume any form of protest would be banned under your dream of a communist authoritarian hellscape?

He’s pardoned people who were convicted of crimes relating to his call to ‘stop the count’.

In truth his co-conspirators.

A charming but incorrect characterization. The reality is that more billionaires supported the Democrats than the GOP in the 2024 election, and raised far more money for Harris than for Trump. Hell, Biden is giving fricking MEDALS to degenerate old trolls like George Soros! 

 

What is happening is that people are feeling relief that the jackboot of the government under Biden is being lifted from their necks.

They were protestors protesting against something they disagreed with.  Non violently.  

 

It sounds like you are suggesting that certain types of non violent protests should be criminalized here.  Bit tyrannical.

A very sad day for the USA and the world.  The next four years will be very interesting.

[seajae]

If Trump had his ways, he will shoot protesters. His Defense Department pick Pete Hegseth seems to open to ordering soldiers to shoot protesters. That's what dictator do.

And then you woke up?  

 

I don't think these childish nonsensical statements really work any more as Trump was in office for 4 years previously and exactly how many protestors did he have shot considering just how many anti-Trump protests there were?  Zero.  That's how many.  

 

America are going to demonstrate to the world that leftist ideology just makes people poorer and more miserable and demonstrate how much better things can be, which should put this poisonous hateful ideology to bed for at least a generation or two.

He had adults like Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Chiefs of Staff Gen Milley to stop Trump from shooting protesters. Now he only has loyalists that will not have the courage to stop him. You think if Pete Hegsete is appointed, he will act boldly to stop Trump's foolish acts? Trump has little regards to protesters as it make him looks weak and we can expect harsh response from his adminsitration to any form of protests. 

 

Biden's economic legacy: Historic wage gains, investments and job growth but marred by imported inflation. By the way, Trump won the election with poisonous hateful ideology.

Once again, Trump was president for 4 years previously.  The temper tantrum babies on the left protested most days during his 4 year term.  Just in case you missed it, nobody got shot for protesting.   

 

Trump got elected on a positive message and patriotism.   All Harris had to offer was her DEI credentials and not being Trump.   

 

Once he has eradicated DEI, the climate scam, illegal immigration and Musk has dealt with waste the US economy will boom.  Other western countries will follow suit when they see it working.   Maybe Hollywood will even go back to making good movies without cramming in leftist ideology where it doesn't belong but that might be a step too far for one man to fix in a single term.

The courts handed down convictions tgat dispute your bizarre take on reality.
